April

Then there was "THAT" April.....


April

Well, here it is April. April Fool’s Day no less. April has always been a BIG month in the Walker Family. Obviously, some of this joy has been spread around through the years…other times it tag-teamed us in an April of the same year!

April 1
Hal and Kellie decide to give their relationship another try (many years ago).
Kellie thought several times during that phone conversation…is this just an April Fool’s joke?

April 1 (different year)
Becca was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes
***Saddest April Day***

April 5
Kellie dislocates her ankle, breaks her leg, breaks her ankle, and breaks her foot in the process… and she is nine months pregnant!
April 6 (early a.m.)
Kellie has surgery to repair said breakage and gains 9 pins and a plate in her leg. Also gets the privilege of having dinner brought in from her loving ward for nearly 6 months and gets to be pushed around in a wheel chair for same amount of time.

April 13
(tag-team from April 5th same year)
Hannah is born.
April 13
Same day as her birth, Hannah breaks her collar bone during delivery.
She didn't want her Mommy to be the only one broken.
Also, her delivery day shatters record at the local hospital for most babies delivered in one day at that hospital.
April 14
Hannah makes her TV debut on the morning show to discuss the delivery record for the previous day for the hospital.

April 15
Hal and Kellie get engaged at the Lincoln Memorial. (Tag-team with #1)
From hence forth they strive diligently to have their taxes done so they don’t have to celebrate their engagement date in line at the post office! Of course they don't really celebrate this event. But, it never goes without mention. And the way things are going this year we may be celebrating at the post office.

We end the month by celebrating the following birthdays:
Barbara
and then
Hal!

April is eventful and I am always holding my breath when it arrives and breathing a sigh of relief when it goes…..hang on…let’s hope it is NOT a wild ride this year!

I remember most of those events! I tear up thinking of some of them, both happy and sad tears. Here's to a completely smooth April 2009!! xo
