We have had a full week and a half here at the Kronz farm! Nana and Great Aunt Jennifer visited from Indiana and shared time with us in our little world.
There were lots of games, loads of laughter, and yummy and nutritious home-cooked food to share with them throughout their 5 day stay with us. The "girls" had some sewing, quilting, and learning to knit time (I was the learner and it was HARD!!).
Nana and Aunt Jenny were able to come and watch Isabelle (and Josiah) during their horseback riding lesson at the Monaghan farm.
This is "Isabelle's horse" (on loan for the hour) named Buster. At nearly 25 years old, he's the perfect compliment for Isabelle's beginning riding.
They were also able to watch as the boys (and nearly 100 other Nampa School of Karate students) did their quarterly testing.
During the "test" the students are asked to perform various skills and then are graded/evaluated by a judge. As you can imagine, it can be quite loud in the gymnasium with so many karate shouts at the same time.
Both boys received excellent and above average marks. They are promoted to Gold Belt level!
Thankfully, karate is also a chance to spend time with Uncle Jason and the cousins! Great job boys!!
The next evening, Isaac was privileged to play in his yearly piano recital with Nana and Aunt Jenny as a part of the audience. Isaac played a 7 page "Sonatina" by Clementi and did a fabulous job.
He and I will both be glad to "retire" this piece :) He's been learning and playing it since November!
On Thursday, while Aunt Jenny and Nana took some time to do some sight seeing and shopping, Isabelle was surprised by my bringing home her best friend Sarah for an afternoon of playing and imagining. Here the girls enjoy serving eachother some homemade lemonade. Aren't they precious??
It's been a busy and memorable week. Unfortunately, we have finished it off with every last one of us getting a cold virus! We are all in various states of illness right now. It looks like a good time to sit around and work on our year's scrapbooks of the kid's schoolwork! You know where I'll be. Blessings everyone!!

Thank you for a great week. It was both exciting and relaxing, just what a vacation should be.
I have a wonderful niece and nephew doing a wonderful job of raising my great niece and nephews.
Until next time, lots of love to you and your family.
