This month Marlowe had her piano recital at the church in front of about 20 people. She did good but she doesn't think its for her and would rather do ballet. She won an award for reading at her school. She's in kindergarten and she's reading 2nd grade books. She's now starting dressing herself for school, although sometimes we have to make some adjustments to her outfits. She got a new bike with training wheels. We're still working on it but she's getting better every time she rides it.
Spring break was a blast as we went with the Bells and Donnells to Bull Shoals. We took the kids to the local bowling alley and caught a ton of trout that we later fried and smoked. The kids favorite things to do was play hide and seek and look for four leaf clovers at the campground. We also went golfing at River Cliff golf course just on the other side of the river. The next trip will be in Gilbert as we plan on canoeing Memorial weekend
We had to put one of our dogs Dora down this month. First time I've ever had to do that. She was a great dog, but she was in a lot pain from cancer in her leg and I think she was ready. Marlowe had a hard time understanding. I think I was more sad and upset with how she was handling it other than Dora being put down. She will be missed. Marlowe still says a couple of weeks later how she misses Dora.
