Spring Break

Oh, we have a lot of catching up to do on our blog.  Tonight, let's focus on Spring Break.

We went down to Philadelphia to watch Mom's senior organ recital, which was incredible.  She played a full hour's worth of really, really hard organ music, and she sounded fabulous.

We were all very proud of her!  She had over one-hundred fans at the concert.

 There were a lot of people in town for the concert.  Our boys loved having their Haglund cousins (and my Neuenswander cousins, Ryan and Connor) around.  They made us sweat a little, like the time they carried a guillotine paper-cutter up to the loft.  When we discovered it up there, we had to take it and hide it somewhere safe.  

 We prefer to let them play foosball...

Here I am with Joy Engebretsen, Karisa, and Tara.  Joy, our honorary Babbel sister, came up all the way from Virginia to see the concert.

 Brooksie and Ivy at breakfast.  Brooks loved to sample her food.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the Philadelphia zoo:

We also went to Longwood Gardens.  There were many, many old people there to look at the flowers, and we hope they just loved our calm, well-behaved children. :-)

 On the last day of our Spring Break, we went to a Penn baseball game on our trip to Philadelphia.  We found the seats that are dedicated to Oliver and the Hahl family!

See those tags on the chairs?

Next up, Caleb's birthday.  I have to post those pictures before Chase's birthday, so stay tuned!
