The Huseby Post: Maddy is 40 months old

March has been unseasonably warm here in Minnesota. We are so grateful for the above-average temperatures and hope they continue. Matt resigned from his job at SJE Rhombus so he could start full-time at the campground this year. His last day was March 2, 2012. With Matt home full time and the weather cooperating, our living room is getting finished much quicker. It should be done sometime in April. We'll post pictures of the finished room.

On March 12th we celebrated Matt's 44th birthday. Maddy wanted to blow out the candles and "help" Daddy open gifts. The next day Maddy had her first dental appointment. She really handled the whole experience quite well. She went into have her teeth cleaned by herself. The hygenist was able to use the water, suction and polisher without any problems. The best part was no cavities! After doing such a great job, she wanted to go through the car wash as her reward. Such a hoot!

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a supper of corned beef, boiled cabbage & potates. Everyone was clad in green to avoid pinching. The leprechans didn't stop by the house this year, but we'll have to see about next year.

Later in the month, we took a trip to Hazelhurst, Wisconsin to visit Jerry & Donna Splitt. They are family friends that are more like family than friends. We stayed at their lake home surrounded by pine & birch trees. Their home & it's setting is truly spectacular. During our visit, Maddy was treated to a day at a children's museum. The museum was educational while being over-the-top fun. It would be a dream come true to have a similar experience available locally. Many thanks to the Splitts for their gracious hospitality!

Easter is coming next weekend and the campground will be opening on May 2nd this year. Our busy season is just around the corner. We'll be coloring eggs & waiting for Peter Cottontail to hide them. We hope everyone has a happy Spring and can enjoy Easter to the fullest! Blessings to all!
