Spring Snow

Last week was the beginning of spring. Now we're having SNOW! It's really weird. It's not sticking, but it comes down like a blizzard. It started last night and then Jim had some at work today. What's funny is that Monday is the last day to take your snow tires off here in Washington. I have to admit as much as people are kind of annoyed by it being this late, I like it. It puts a little extra spring in my step. Something about snow makes me feel like a little kid!

Happy Easter!

What a wonderful day it is! I spent most of the morning in bed, Jim the afternoon. We're both sick, but it didn't stop our celebrating Christ's Resurrection. Alex and I made the traditional dinner. The kids and I colored eggs. When we sat down to dinner Jim led communion and then I led the Jelly Bean poem describing the colors of the jelly beans and the symbolization of Easter. It was something for Cameron's level of thinking.

Now the dishwasher is running and the kids are watching the Veggie Tales Easter Carol. Jim's in bed. While not the best Easter we've had, it was still great. After all, we're not celebrating for ourselves, we're celebrating for our Savior.

Happy Easter to all!

Part time days are here again!

I loved the extra income that came from working full time, but it was exhausting. Cammy and Alex both didn't get a lot of school work done. Alex really stepped up and helped out a lot. April was a big help, too. She took Cam to the park and went with him to ride his bike. That was good to get him out of the house during the day. Now working 2 hours goes by so fast. Just when i'm getting into something I look and it's 5:00 already.

I'm trying to get back into the routine of things. The kids have lots of appointments. Cam had his neurodevelopmental therapy today. he was all over the place. Judy (his therapist) must be the most patient person in the world. Tomorrow Alex goes for a retainer check. His teeth look so good. The braces really helped a lot. Next week they have dentist appointments. And the list goes on.

This Saturday will be Cameron's last basketball game. He's excited because he gets to be co-captain. Afterwards we are going to the Grosso's to hang out and have lunch. Cameron and Garrett were on the same team. They did really good, too! Alex and Cameron are both back into soccer, too. They love it!

Our 15th Anniversary

We had such a wonderful anniversary. The kids stayed the night with friends and we got a room for the evening. We did some shopping,a movie and had some good food. We have some great friends who sent us off with a basket of goodies...wine, chocolate, strawberries, candles, etc. It was such a sweet surprise. The room had a nice tub with jets and I had such a relaxing bath with candles and wine. It was great just spending some one on one time with Jim. We've been so busy the past few weeks, that it was great just being together. We're ready for the next 15!
