May 3, 2026 Kassie and I returned from France this week and resumed normal life. The kids seemed to have done well with Kassie's parents while we were out.

Kassie, Hinckley, and I are playing "He is Risen" with our ward orchestra and band and I'm singing "I love the Lord" (Nephi's psalm that BYU men's chorus did those years ago) with some men in the ward. Hinckley has finished up the swim season and is excited about 2 weeks off before the summer season starts. Addie got a haircut this week which she was very excited about, and reported that it was well received by her peers at school. The allergies have been rough on her.
