We are having Gioia's 1st Birthday Party on Sunday. We'll post more pictures next week.

Valpo Trip and Easter

We took a little trip to Indiana for my basketball team to participate in the National Lutheran Tournament at Valparaiso University the last weekend in March. This year, Kim was able to come along for the first time. My Mom and Tyler (nephew) met us there. Here are some pictures of the trip as well as some from Easter.

Tyler during our first game against a school from Wisconsin. We went 2-2 in the tournament, with our last game against Trinity - Waconia, MN.

Tyler and Gioia had a great time playing with each other for 4 days.

Grandma and the kids hanging out in the hotel room. Kim and Grandma got Gioia to take her first couple steps in the hotel room.

Once the games were done, it was time to wrestle.

Gioia eventually won by taking down Tyler.

This is one of the few moments Gioia was in a good mood during the week of Easter. She is having a real tough time with her top front teeth coming in.

In April, my Uncle Mark & Aunt Kari are visiting during the middle of the month. We are planning on going with them to the Grand Canyon. We will be wrapping up the month with Gioia's birthday......I am not coaching baseball this year, so I'll be having a pretty relaxing spring.
