March for Babies

Overall we had a good day at the March of dimes yesterday, despite the chilly weather the walk was a success. My parents, Mina, uncle Khosro & my father and mother in-law and our friends Natalie joined us for the walk. Kids took turn sitting in the wagen, but when the wind took off my Dad and I were hugging them. Matthew walk almost half way this year, I think he was discouraged by the weather. Afterwards, we had a few hotdogs and then except for uncle Khosro, everyone else met back at our place. Linnet made lentens soup the night before and we each had a cup of the warm soup with some lunch meat sandwiches. Later on we had strawberry shortcake and tea for desert, in honor of my father-in-law's birthday. So far, kids are well and didn't catch a cold from our walk yesterday.

First half of April

So far this month we visited with family and returned to our normal routine after our trip. Kids received NouRooz gifts and understood the celebration a bit better.

We found out that we have at least a raccoon in our attic and paid a professional to remove them. John from ACE Animal Control setup a cage by the vent that raccoon got into our house and last night she got caught. He's currently upstairs removing the animal and next will set a cage around the vent to prevent future accidents. He'll then visit the attic to remove any babies that are there and assess the damage they've done to the attic. I guess this raccoon is lucky, I like the wild life otherwise not sure what would I have done with her after spending close to $400 on removal fees.
