| Thomas is in the bottom bunk and does quite well to sleep there most days and nights. Bethan is most happy to have her very own room and is sleeping in her own bed. Jeffery's taken a bit of a break from swimming after competing and getting his best times at the YMCA state meet at RIT. He had some breathing difficulties and has been on an inhaler to try to get that worked out this past week. Ron was happy to do well at a Master's swim meet on Valentine's Day and received three ribbons for his events. We've gotten some snow this past month, but nothing much compared to previous winters. Lake Placid was a great place to visit during our school break and even during a week of the Olympics. Odyssey of the Mind tournaments are happening and Girl Scouts will be quite active for Bethan this month. Bethan is also getting ready for her First Communion on May 1st. |
