Hello, friends.
Well friends you know it is March Madness so let the games begin. I don’t know about you but my bracket is already busted so let the best team win.
Nathan and Donna Hughes stopped by and saw Ed and family and brought them some goodies. Ed really enjoyed visiting with them. Thanks, Nathan and Donna.
Carol, Mandy, Ethan and Jack went to the Ringling Circus last Sunday. What crazy weather, snowing in Vevay and Carol said when they got to Florence, Kentucky there was no snow at all. Ethan and Jack enjoyed the circus.
Ed, Mandy and boys went to the show in Madison. The boys enjoyed the show. Ed needed to get out.
It’s spring break time. Ryan and Liz Bovard and boys spent a couple of days at Great Wolf Lodge.

Ed is now taking rehab in Vevay. He is now putting some of his weight on his foot. Thursday morning Carol and I took Ed to the YMCA. They have a chair that lifts you in and out of the pool. Ed really enjoyed that. So did Ethan. He got to swim with his dad. Thanks, Matt, for getting the chair ready for him.

What is the definition of global warming? Apparently mother nature does not know either.
Randy Turner spent the weekend at Robin’s and babysat Saturday. Isn’t it nice, Randy, when we can spoil them and leave them with their parents?
Carol and I were at the YMCA one day last week when we met a couple we haven’t seen for a long time, Randy and Chris Craig. They are the parents of Brian Craig. Ed and Brian played baseball together in high school. They are also the grandparents of little Gavin Craig who is suffering from cancer. Prayers are needed for Gavin and his family.
