Not long after Leo called, it is Emmaly’s turn. She has a great Easter as well and shows us what the Easter bunny brought her.

Emmaly too got a brand new phone and she is proud to show it off. That is not all though. She also got a huge, plush stuffy which she decides to wear as a hat. lol.

Yeah, Emma is always full of surprises and up for a laugh!😂

What A Treat

Date of occurrence:
April 20, 2025.

It has been quite a while since we heard from Leo, but he calls us today to wish us a Happy Easter. He got a new phone and is extremely happy with it.

His focus has shifted from painting to card tricks and he shows us several tricks he has mastered. As far as his love life goes, there are no girls he is momentarily interested in.

He is also driving around in his car, which is finally fixed. He is not pleased with the gas prices, but has a solution to that problem.

He has an upcoming interview at another horse farm. He hopes to be able to work there on weekdays and work the Saturdays at the job he currently has.

We play some chess games and share a few laughs. Leo stays on FaceTime for quite some time.

We enjoy it. What a treat! :-D

Happy Easter!

It is Easter and all the kids are given an Easter basket filled with goodies.

Yes, even Kc gets one.

Aunt A. brings him a basket with chocolates and edible grass.

He is tickled with it, but being 18 years old, he will not let on to that. lol.

Happy Easter, everyone. He is risen!

Enchanted Party

Date of occurrence:
April 19, 2025.

Today is Sophia’s birthday party and it looks gorgeous! It is an enchanted forest fairy party and her mom did an outstanding job of capturing the delightful atmosphere.

Lanterns and lots of lights were hung and they would have made it even more magical. Yeah, would have. Unfortunately, Sophia’s mom forgot to turn them on. lol.

It did not diminish any of the charm and little fairy Sophia fluttered from presents to cake and snacks.

She had fun and that was the main thing!

Triple Virus

Date of occurrence:
April 13, 2025.

Poor Lily. She is sick and had to see the doctor today.

She did not come down with one, but three virusses!

Norovirus, metapneumovirus, and rhinovirus.

They say all things come in three.

Let’s pray she recovers quickly.

Maybe in three days?!

Not Happy

Date of occurrence:
April 8, 2025.

Yes, Sophia is smiling really big in this picture.

That will not last long though.

Sophia has a doctor’s appointment today.

She will probably get a shot.

Last time, it took everyone to hold her down.

Mom doesn’t expect any different this go around. Poor Sophia.

She will not be a happy camper!

Happy Birthday, Sophia

Date of occurrence:

Woohoo! Five years old today!

The festivities will take place another weekend.

She is with her dad and maw-maw today.

I am quite sure Sophia’s big day will be celebrated.

We sure did.

Happy birthday, SoSo! We love you!

April Fool’s Day?

Date of occurrence:
April 1, 2025.

Kc has been working for a food delivery service to make some extra money, since his part time job doesn’t  have enough hours for him to work.

We haven’t seen him for several days, but today he comes home after school with big news. He is accepted as an employee for an hvac company as soon as he graduates.

That is great and we are happy for him.

Suddenly it dawns on me.

Me:”Kc, is this an April Fool’s Day joke?”
Kc:"What is?"
Me:"You getting a job after high school."

Kc laughs and assures me it is not a joke.

Phew, that’s a relief.

I just had to ask, since each year he tells me he will get me on April Fool’s Day. Maybe he still did? Nah, I doubt that.

Needles to say, we are excited for and proud of him!

The Break-Up

Date of occurrence:
March 31, 2025.

Londyn is sick and bored, so she calls us to get some ideas how to entertain herself. Little does she know that she is entertaining us with her stories and wit. Like this one…

Opa:”How is your boyfriend?”
Londyn:"I broke up with him."
Opa:"Oh no. What happened."
Londyn:"He cheated and he lied."
Opa:"He cheated? "
Londyn:"Yeah, and she is ugly!"
Opa:"How do you know he was cheating?"
Londyn:"Because he didn't come around anymore and we had this rule that when you don't come around anymore, we break up."

That sounds reasonable.

At least Londyn doesn’t seem to be all broken up about it! lol.

Still Or Again?

Date of occurrence:
March 30, 2025.

And how is Bella?

According to Lily,

<===. this is what Bella is watching.

Me:” Hey, we just had Christmas!”

Lily:” It's not even close to Christmas is it?”

Me:” Nooooo. That is long ways away.”

It is quite clear where Bella’s mind is.

She is either still in Christmas spirit, or again! Grin.
