Our Life in the Yellow Brick House

April flew by and that's probably because it's been a full month. About halfway through, I went to Austin for the CASE District IV Conference. It snuck up on me like conferences tend to do. However, this one was different because I was presenting a session for the first time. Michal and I were responsible for 45 minutes worth of content. Public speaking has never been a comfortable thing for me, so I was a little anxious going in. But I'm happy to report that it went really well! God helped calm my nerves, and the attendees were very engaged and receptive to what we had to say. So overall, I would say the trip was a success.

It's so nice to get outside, work on the yard and enjoy the sunshine.  Kyle was sick for about a week after we got home from our trip. It was pretty brutal, but Oliver kept him company.   In March, we went to Ponca one Sunday to celebrate Kyle's parent's wedding anniversary.  I didn't get any pictures of the adults, but we had fun sitting in the living room and watching Conner play. He is so focused and it is cool to see his little mind working away.  Being a dog owner is so much more enjoyable in spring than it is in the winter. Oliver and I love taking long walks on Saturdays.   We have the most beautiful sunsets in Oklahoma.  Mom and Dad
