April was its normal blur, but we had a few new milestones and rights of passage. Grace had her junior prom with all its pageantry and pomp and giggling friendship. She also hosted her LaX team for a team dinner pasta buffet. The house smelled of garlic for two days and they were a great group of girls. They have been playing a couple games a week, the competition is tough this year. She is also getting daily recruiting 'hits' from coaches across the country. Merrick had his senior ball, a lower key affair than prom but still another rite of passage for him and his gang. With the weather turning nicer his golf team is getting more sun burn than frostbite for a change. Both of them are now deep into AP testing season and trying to rack up some college credits a little early. Easter came and went, but they still hid a Basket for Grace...it was under the ottoman, but still took her about 20 minutes to find it. Ella couldn't make it home for the holiday and Sophia spent it in EC with Grandprize and Grandma Nancy. Ella also ran her first 1/2 marathon with her roommate. We loaded up the bikes on the car and chased and cheered her all over Eau Claire on a cool rainy morning. It was a blast, fun to chase her and fun to see her smiling as she ran the 13 plus miles in her personal best time!
