What great fun and what an AWESOME group of kids! We had one new girl join the group this month and she caught on quickly! The residents seemed thrilled with the meal, and the kids did just a great job, I was able to sit once most of the meal prep was finished. I tend to forget how hard it is on a pregnant body to be on your feet nonstop for hours at a time.

The next time we go back to RMH will be in June....hard to believe that the baby could be almost 2 months old by then...depends on how much longer it decides to keep baking!
