Happy Easter! We spent a very shivery morning at church celebrating our Saviour's resurection. I performed with the puppet cast and then we watched Billy Sprague play his "Via Dolorosa" via satelite on the actual Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. What an awesome experience! We spent the afternoon with family watching the snow fall down, and then by 6:00 pm the sun was shining and the snow was gone! I got to hold my new nephew for a while, Morgan Joseph. It was a wonderful day!

A couple weeks ago Brianna broke her right arm. She is getting much more independent now, can move from chair to chair mostly on her own. Sometimes she needs a hand, and she always needs to be supervised, especially in the morning when her legs aren't warmed up yet. She had tried to move from her bed to her chair before I could get there to help her, and she fell on her useless left arm. Because she couldn't move it or catch herself, all her weight fell on it. She has a buckle fracture on the right radius. So, now she wears a bright pink cast for a few weeks! At least it wasn't the good arm! She is really excelling in school now too. She is so much more observant of the things around her, and is retaining lots of new information!

Brandon had his first job interview last week at the City of Northglenn. He applied for paddle boat attendant and cashier. The girl in charge of hiring is a friend from church that I also went to school with at Metro. She leads our choir and plays sax. So hopefully that's an in for him. Otherwise he will be applying at Water World. That would be fun too, and his cousins Tim and Kelly will be working there too! Good summer money! He wants to fix up Neal's old truck. He's also working hard on earning his Eagle rank in Scouts.

Katelynn is so excited to get to go to summer camp this year with church. Camp Elim is a Christian camp and some of her friends will be going too. Its for a whole week in June! She will be entering her first beauty pageant in July, competing in formal wear and as a casual wear model. We have a friend who is a model and has been Miss Colorado for several years. She will be coaching Katie on the walk and the talk. Personally, I think she's been watching a bit too much of America's Next Top Model! Hee hee hee! She's also preparing to join Missoula's Children's Theater productions again this summer. In her spare time of course! We are proud to announce that after only 2 months back in public school, she has made the honor roll!

Neal and I have been busy taking care of everyone's needs here at home, and keeping busy with school, church and scouting activities. I am back in music again, drama, teaching, and puppet ministry. Neal is enjoying the men's ministry group, awanas, scouts, and watching me make a fool of myself on stage! I found out I have some damaged veins in my legs, and developed blood clots last month. The left leg had clotted all the way from the top to the bottom. Its very painful. I will have to have them removed in the next year or so in both legs. Anyway, this year is off to a great start for the Luchtenburg family!
