April

Sorry. I know it seems like we fell off the face of the earth, and in case you’re wondering, we tend to do that mid-March through mid-May regardless of our circumstances.

For the most part, this is what “normal” feels like.

Everyone is busy with school and work and spring and living, which is where we like to be. Here are the highlights:

A quick road trip to Chicago so Kooka could dance at Hubbard Street, we could eat deep dish at Gino’s and we could look at something besides each other for a bit.

Tiny’s Skate For Sarcoma project helped raise over $2000 for the Sarcoma Foundation America.

Rico was literally the ONLY person in the state excited for a snow day mid April.

Easter, where everybody sat and colored eggs together one night (can’t believe I’m still able to coerce everybody into that).

Rico’s hair growing back - but curly, which is a dramatic change. His hair was so straight that As he was loosing it, We were getting slivers. I once had to have a piece of it surgically removed from ME. OK, not like “surgery” surgery, but it took a doctor and a nurse to remove it. 

Punk home for his spring break, where he spent most of it at the local middle shoot with one of his favorite art teachers “learning how to teach from the master.”

Rico taking a tumble and really messing up his knee (lucky it wasn’t his skull). Good news is, he can’t feel it in that leg anyway.  He didn’t have an accident, didn’t run into anything, just decided he didn’t really need to wear the brace all the time, and the leg doesn’t really work the way it used to, and it just gives out. Not sure if any of you were privy to his, “The doctor says I’ll need to wear a brace all of the time, but that ain’t happening” speech, but he has since conceded that yes, he will be wearing a brace. This is a wise decision.

Hopefully, I’ll be better at updates after our spring showcase. See you soon.
