March Madness, and I Don't Mean Just Basketball!

It's mid March already. It seems like I was just buying Valentine candy and cards. I'm wrapping up student-led conferences at school and planning for the last few months - MCA's, PDP's, Staff Appreciation, etc. Can't believe our Spring Break is next week already. Easter is early this year and pretty soon it will be April. I'm ready for the warmer temperatures but not quite ready to bare my legs in shorts or open my pool out back yet. It's also that time of year to get my NCAA basketball picks to Brian. We'll see if I can place this year. Close last year, but not in the top three.
My girls returned safe and sound from New York. They had a fabulous time out there. It's hard to believe that their trip has come and gone already too. And you should see the scrapbooks that Courtney and Phyllis made! They captured everything. So for now, Lindsey is back home with her husband and her dog. She's working, coaching volleyball, and helping out with church retreats. Kelsey is back up at school. We just got a letter from her sorority about the Parent Formal in April. We'll go again this year. We had a really good time, and we're one of the last families to leave. It was that good! And that leaves Courtney home with us. . .she's taking one online class and trying to find an apartment to rent while she's in school in Alexandria beginning in May. Shawn finished up his coaching gig. . .he had a lot of fun with those little fifth grade boys. Now he's been busy planning his dad's retirement party. That's coming up quickly too. I'll write again soon.
