Spring has sprung!  What gorgeous weather.  This weekend I put on shorts to run for the first time this year—hooray!

NF Update:

Nothing new to report with Jane’s NF, but instead a little anecdote that illustrated for me just how well Jane’s personality will serve her in dealing with the challenges she will face because of NF:

Recently Jane and I were tending to her scraped knee.  She wanted to clean it herself because the soap and water stung it.  She said to me, “When I have to do something that hurts, I say to myself, ‘Just do it, Jane.  Just do it.’”

(Or perhaps dealing with NF has already taught her how to face life’s littler challenges?)

Jane and Family Update:

For spring break this year we drove up north to spend a few days in Montreal.  Poor Alec got hit with a stomach bug the first night we were there, but we still managed to do a bit of sight-seeing and to have dinner with our cousin, Andrea.  Montreal has a vast indoor nature complex that includes a planetarium, an insectarium, a botanical garden, and a biodome.  We were able to visit the latter two sections before we had to head home.

Some pictures from the butterfly exhibit at the botanical gardens :)
