April

Why does April feel like a blur?
On the 3rd we took a very interesting tour of the county recycling center:

 All the kids had their semiannual dental cleanings. Felicity and Elizabeth took a cake decorating class at Jo-Ann's. Felicity continued her violin lessons:

Thomas stuck to his guns:

Cecilia and I took a behind the scenes tour of the zoo:

 And we prepared for and celebrated Easter:

 We had not one but two April snows:

  I built a bridge for the girls' AHG troop:

 We finished off Easter week with a trip to the Racine Zoo and some time on the beach of Lake Michigan:

 And Anastasia officially became a walker:

 And after 14 1/2 years, we finally retired our mattress and got a new one... I'm still not sure what a good night of sleep is as Anastasia is now cutting her 5th and 6th teeth, but it is definitely more comfortable than the old one!
