first signs of spring

sunny and temps in the 60's today--we took a walk around the lake, played catch, and drove by connie's to get ben's uniform while she was getting the creamy cone ready to open tomorrow. we even fired up the grill for the first time this season last night. it must be spring.

a big week ahead with a late week trip to SoCal for the wedding of terri's high school friend terri ann. an adult only affair so the kids will get some quality time with grandma and grandpa.

tomorrow, ben has regionals for his history day project with wyatt. if they win, they go to state (on the campus of the University of Minnesota!)

speaking of the U, did you see that the Gophers men made it into the big dance? be sure to get your brackets in. we're assuming uncle den-o is the commish for the hartmann clan's annual pool.
