April 1

I have to say that the large snowflakes that were falling this morning were a very cruel April Fool's joke, but I'm so thankful it turned out to be nothing by the end of the day. This morning I headed to the gym with the boys while Abe hung out at home with the Fritch service man who was out for a routine checkup of our HVAC system. After he was done, we headed to Billy's Downtown Diner for lunch to check out some of his new menu items - yum! I took a couple of quick pictures in the afternoon of the boys involved in their usual hi-jinx:

Around 5:45 tonight we got a call from Abe's sister telling us that his brother and mother had been involved in a serious fall that afternoon (scaffolding collapse at the house they're working on). We decided right away to make the drive to Wisconsin to see them and were out the door 30 minutes later. Here are pics of the 4 of us as we started our drive. Since Jonah is rear-facing, all I could see were his feet!

So far the diagnosis is that Ruth has a broken ankle and a broken shoulder blade, and Zach has a sprained ankle and possible ligament damage. Please keep both of them in your prayers!
