What happened to April?

Seriously, what happened to April?

I haven't posted in such a long time and yet there are so many things I could have posted about. We knew that April was going to be a busy month with various house guests coming from late March until mid-April, but then just as the house emptied, we found out that my grandmother in Hawaii had passed away. So, with much provision from God (and by "much" I mean "more than you can possibly know"), we packed up our own suitcases and left for the funeral. We spent a week with the family and had a wonderful time visiting with everyone under not-so-ideal circumstances.

Now that we are home and settling back in, I owe pictures --- at least to those family members who keep asking for them --- of Brooklyn's first birthday and the unexpected Hawaii trip. Hopefully I can get a couple of brief slideshows up soon...

Until then, enjoy Puccini's Nessun Dorma from Turandot...
