Since SuperDad returned to educating the young minds of America on March 9th, he has little time to do much else. For those of you out there who think being an educator is easy work, think again. SuperDad has spent many a late night and early morning preparing for class. Thankfully, there are perks to the job, such as Spring Break. More on that in the next paragraph.
Spring Break was...well...a little broken weather wise. The week started out nice and then turned to cooler temps by mid-week. I guess I should'nt complain. At least it's not below O F degrees and/or snowing!
As for that 'perk' thing, SuperDad was able to have the past week off to get caught up on a few things. We were able to take care of a few things around the house, but we also took some time to enjoy a small vacation. Of course, everyone got pinched on St. Patrick's Day!
Dad, It's too Heavy!!!

One of SuperDad's bestest friends he has known since 8th grade recently returned from serving in Afghanistan. We will call him 'Soon-to-be Major B.M.' He and his SuperFamily were passing through our little spot of Heaven known as Iowa on their way to Illinois. Not only were they able to visit Iowagner HQ, but we were also able to meet up on the other side of the Mighty Mississippi in Nauvoo, Illinois.
Whilst in Nauvoo we were able to catch up on old times, current events and see some of the impressive historical sites. Those pioneers were a resourceful and tough bunch. We were even able to locate a monument to SuperDad's great, great, great (I hope that's enough!) grandfather. Monkey was able to make good friends with B.M.'s youngest son.
