This spring, Katie and I have been busy. First, we picked up snowboarding as a new hobby. We started the season with green runs and after lessons and several hard falls we have progressed to blue and a few black runs.

We have a new niece and goddaughter, Jane. We went home for her baptism and couldn’t be happier as godparents.

Lastly, our puppy, Sherlock, turned 1 yr old in April which celebrates a year of him keeping us busy and on high alert.
