April, Yeah, Spring is on its Way!

Yeah, it's April! The snow is almost all gone from the yard, but the mountains are full of snow. The sun seems to be shining longer due to daylight savings, but at least the daylight hours seem to last later. Easter was early and cold this year, we had a quiet dinner with just us and my uncle and a cousin from MA. Torri woke up that morning with a very sore throat and a temp of 101.3 which by the next day turned into strept throat. Easter for her was spent in bed and not eating any chocolate or ham & potatoes. The rest of us went to church, Fred and I taught her preschool sunday school class which she teaches.
We all have been out in the yard raking, sweeping the driveway, and clearing out an area for a chicken coop the last couple of Saturdays. My mom and dad have been out burning brush in the backyard, next will be pruning the orchard trees. The yard is looking nice.
Fred and the boys have been brushing up on their baseball skills and even throwing the football around.
I measured Zac & Noah this morning and was surprised at how fast they are growing. Zac measured about 5' 8 1\2 " and Noah was 5' 4". Wow, it won't be long till I am the shortest one in the family. Next week is spring break for the kids, though it will just be Wed.-Fri. The last day of school is May 23 so they will be out before Memorial Day.

Hi Egan Family!
Wow! Zac's grown that much?! I'm right there with Noah right now... I'm 5 foot 4 too! Hope everything is going all right down in Utah! We miss you guys soooo much, it's like having half of your own family move to China or somewhere far away... well except closer. Everything is fine in our family and school is well. Hope to see you sometime in MA for a visit, it would mean a lot to our family.
Love, Elizabeth Potter
P.S. Hope Torri is feeling better...

About Us

We are a family of 7 people(Tom & Paulette, Fred & JoAnne, Torri, Zac, & Noah; 2 dogs (Lita & Tojo); & 2 cats (George & Symba). We are sharing a home in a small rural town where not much goes on. My parents are retired and enjoy woodworking and gardining. Fred is working for a heating company working on gas and oil heating systems. Torri (11TH),Zac (7th), and Noah (6th) are all in school and for the most part doing well. I, JoAnne spend my time working at an infant room at the Snow College Child Care Lab,chauffering, and trying to keep in touch with distant family and friends.

Somethings you might not know?

Torri has been accepted into a special program at school where when she graduates from highschool she will have an associates college degree and a good size scholarship. She is currently taking her first college course, Psychology as a sophmore, and she is applying for national honor society. In February she is also in a drama competition, and a writing competion, next month she will be a part of the Spring Play at school.
Zac's favorite part of school is recess and hanging out with his friends. He is playing basketball with a town league, which is done pretty professionally with practice once or twice a week and a game on Saturday am cometing with other towns, he likes it a lot and is one of the tallest in the league for now at least. He is also part of a club that meets after school, and they are learning how to and putting together websites.
Noah is doing well in school, especially in Math. He also likes recess, they have 3 during the day, and is looking forward to playing either soccer or baseball in the spring and maybe football in the fall. He spends a lot of time perfecting his skills with video games, and is always up for a good board game.
