And we're back ...

Hopefully this week will mark the end of a pretty busy spell for the Wildwood DeVries. We're wrapping up a some activities that have taken up a bit of our time (Spa Night, painting at my parents). Maybe we'll even move forward on working on our house a bit!

Some recap bullets from the weekend:

• I had a good time up at Men's Retreat: Played Settlers a bunch, got second in the broomball tournament (I even scored 3 of our teams 4 goals!), was challenged by the speakers and through discussion with the guys from Anchor.
• On the way home, our 5 hour drive became 7 1/2 as 1) the van keys got locked inside the van during a gas stop, 2) we stopped to help at an accident for a 1/2 hour or so, 3) snow started to come down pretty heavy and forced us to go real slow.
• Fortunately, we didn't get any snow here, so spring is still in order.
• A quick look at the weather showed warmer temps all week! Looking forward to the snow all melting away and the yard drying up so that we can be outside a bit more.
• Cyndie's Spa Night with MOPS went well. It definitely made for a busy weekend. We were thankful that our friend Jeannine and her kids could hang with Emma and Timmy yesterday to allow Cyndie to be over at the Spa Night setting up.
• The kids did another Home Depot craft (race tracks) and got a McDonald's treat on Saturday.

So there's a glance into our lives.
