TGIF

Just returned from mom-daughter sushi night. Mmmm-mmm. The boys went for pizza and to watch a Shorewood High soccer game. We're all glad for the weekend, though I have to work Saturday. I'm teaching a Prepare training for the library's student assistants. The class is 4 hours long, so it has to be done on evenings or weekends to accommodate their school schedules. Good times.

Speaking of good times, many were had on April 15th when our family participated in the National MS Walk. All over the country, people walked to raise money and awareness about this disease. We were joined by my sister Sarah and her family, plus one of my work pals, Dave, and his fine son. Down in Portland, my little bro Don got his walk on, too!

We were part of a larger team called Bunnie Luv, made up of many members of our friend Chas's family, though he ended up not being able to join us for the 5 mile walk after a bout with pneumonia. He's better now.

I was overwhelmed by the support shown by friends and family, not just through donations or walking, but through encouraging words and messages. I want to offer another heartfelt thanks to all!

Though I do have to work tomorrow, that gives Tim a chance to catch up on his lesson plans and grading. On Sunday we want to go for a hike with the kiddos and whatever friends we can rope in. If you're reading this, you're invited! -k8-
