1st Spring Update

Okay, so I said on my earlier update that I would keep up...well it isn't happening.



So here is the rundown, we finished putting in wood floors all downstairs at the end of February. We absolutely love it. Our dog Walker, however has different feelings. No more carpet to lay on...so he has taken to sleeping on the stairs and if he is lucky he gets a bed or couch upstairs when doors are accidently left open. We have our bathroom left to do downstairs in the master bedroom, and will soon start the shopping process for that.

For Easter, I cooked my first holiday meal. I had Ricky's parents over for a small get together. I think everything turned out okay...we are all still alive. I had fun and hope to do more of the cooking so the Grandparents can enjoy the grandkids more.

Emily has been so busy with the social outings. She is invited everywhere. I guess part of that is her age. She is going to be a big bad fifth grader in the fall...my goodness where did the time go.

Richard has also been busy establishing some independence. He goes to the park in the neighborhood and has made several friends. He does this without Emily and is really doing well.

We have tried fishing once this season so far...no luck...oyster shells and seaweed we all we caught...and Rich lost a pole...his cast was so strong that he threw the pole and all. I have started scrapbooking again and have really gotten caught up...Ricky is playing poker once a month...holding his own...staying even.

Other than that...we stay busy running around...last weekend, we went an saw my dad at a BBQ cookoff...he just started doing the cookoffs...I was proud of him...he placed 8th or 10th with his chicken...go DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will definitely go to more of those to support him.

That is all for now...more soon...have started to get pictures so I will post soon.
