ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER

I have to start out this post by announcing that Miss Kylee Kay Fischer made her way into our family on April 18th. She is perfect! Congrats to my baby brother & Tesha. I just love my growing family!

Now onto what the Grinstead's have been up to lately:


  • Jake is still practicing baseball 2-3 times a week. He will be playing 1st base and right field as of now. He is pretty happy with those positions. He's also hitting the ball. Not to brag, but I pulled up at practice the other night just as he smacked one past the 3rd baseman...it rolled to the fence. Yay!

  • Religious ed is over for the year. Next year, we are trying out a new church.

  • Allie went to her friend Morgan's birthday party. They did lots of girly stuff.

  • I went to an awards banquet (see previous post).

  • Allie is still going to tutoring for math once a week.

  • Allie is getting ready for a concert this weekend. She has worked hard all semester and I can't wait to hear how good her choir sounds.

  • We spent Easter with my family. It was a great weekend! We got to meet our newest family member, Kylee. We celebrated Ben & Maddie's birthdays. I got to babysit Drew & Delaney. Scott & my brother golfed. Allie saw "Hop" with Maddie. We had a big supper with all of my siblings, their spouses, my parents & my nieces & nephews. I love it! We had an Easter egg hunt with my nieces and nephews. All in all a WONDERFUL weekend.

  • Talent Show practice has begun. We are still looking for an idea for Allie & her friend.

  • Allie had a Brownie meeting.

  • We celebrated May Day. Allie delivered lots of May Day treats and had tons of fun. Jake's girlfriend brought him a special May basket with kisses and a Scratch cupcake. She even signed the note with a heart & her name!

  • Allie & her class are spending the week at Museum School. They go to the local museums all day, every day this week. They learn about the history of our area & lots of other cool stuff. She loves it!

  • Both of Scott's grandmothers recently fell. Charlotte is suffering from a brain bleed & has undergone surgery. Granny broke her hip & wrist and had surgery. We are hoping that both recover soon. Scott and I made a quick trip to Iowa City to visit them.

  • My class went to the symphony.
