European Vacation, Day 1
This weekend, we've got two birthdays to celebrate, Lydia's and Elijah's. So I've been doing a lot of cooking. And I'm still recovering from our vacation, and catching up on laundry and such.
Nathaniel and I went on a little vacation to Italy! We've been calling it the "honey, I'm glad you didn't die" trip. Originally, we had planned to go to Europe for our 20th anniversary, but there were still a lot of Covid issues then, so we decided to postpone it. Then, I ended up in the hospital. I've spent the last 2 1/2 years trying to get better, so 23rd anniversary trip it is. We used Nathaniel's points for plane tickets, which took us first to Zurich, Switzerland. Here is our day in Zurich:

This n That
Nathaniel had a birthday. Elijah was bummed that he picked cherry pie for dessert instead of trifle. Malachi is home for spring break. Pilot is in Florida for same break. The animals are doing pretty well. Nathaniel and I are getting prepared for our big vacation. Gyunay continues to get better at swimming. Lydia and Emry are still doing their sports, but the season has changed from winter to spring. Hopefully, Lydia will get in quite a bit of pole vault practice this week with the nice weather. As you can see, the updates are pretty much same ol', same ol'.
I have been planting seedlings in the sunroom, and right now I'm soaking pea seeds so I can plant pea pods later today. It is absolutely gorgeous outside!

Achievements
The boys have had some achievements lately that I never posted. First up, Emry and Gyunay participated in the Knights of Columbus free throw contest. Only one other kid also competed. Emry won and got to go on to the regional competition.
