On Saturday Caitlin and I arrived back from ten days in Canada to an almost snowless Rochester (quite the contrast to up north). What a blessed time with family and friends our trip was! Spending time with a friend from the past, Laurie, was a definite highlight. Taking part in the Come Before Winter Ladies' Retreat was an unexpected delight too! It's so nice to be close enough to "fly up to Canada for a few days" instead of only making the BIG trip from Germany once each year. I'd rather say, "See you in a couple months," than "See you next year," anyday!

The past couple days have reminded me how wonderful it is when spring starts to break through the hard shell of winter. Even though there is a winter storm forecasted for tonight and tomorrow, both yesterday and today we headed outside for a stroll in the warm sun. Passing by a small playground, Caitlin had her first experience in a big swing...and she loved it! The playground is right next to a lake where flocks of Canadian geese hang out and she has a blast watching them walk, float, and fly around, not to mention the funny sounds they make. A couple dogs walked by with their owners and she got a kick out of them too. And she's discovering all this for the first time!! To think that she doesn't know what a dog or swing is--I wish I could know what she thinks when seeing or experiencing something totally new. I'm loving getting to witness her as she delights in discovery! [insert shameless plug :)]

Wow, look at those top teeth! She's getting so big! Hey, we had Colin and Sue over for Easter Sunday lunch--remember them? They've been living in London for the past year and stopped through Dresden for a few weeks on their way back to Edmonton. They're moving back home to Canada. They said to say "hi," so here's me saying a rather weird "hi" that I hope you get sometime this week.... :-)
