without a doubt...

 spring is here!  It looks like "spring break" can be taken more than one way this year.  We've had the furnace off and windows open for almost a week now and I'm about to sell outgrown and unwanted winter gear....so no turning back!  Luke spent the week at Nana and Papa's.  They were going to attempt some ice fishing being there was still snow up there, but it seemed the warm weather nixed that idea, ice was wet and crunchy.  He went to see The Lorax, had lunch with Gavin at school, helped wash Papa's truck, had root beer floats and played his helicopter with Grant and Gavin, went to the library and he is at the Wabasha Eagle Center as I type!  Can't wait to see him.  It's amazing how cute he sounds on the phone!
