Mother's Day

For Mother's Day weekend, Brian surprised us with an overnight trip to Chattanooga, TN. All I was told was that we needed an over night bag for all of us, including swim suits. We stopped at Cracker Barrell, the kids favorite place to eat on vacations, for breakfast and soon after we ended up in Chattanooga. We stayed at The Sheraton downtown - a gorgeous old building. We visited the Tennessee Aquarium, ate out, swam at the indoor pool at the hotel, and went to the Chattanooga Zoo. It was a great weekend away from home. We will definitly visit again and enjoy more of the downtown attractions that we didn't have time for.

I know it has been forever since I have written..

School is now out. Sarah is now a FIRST GRADER which absolutely blows my mind! Before school was out the students got to spend an hour with their next years teacher, and meet all the kids who would be in their class. Sarah was very excited to see 2 close friends in her class, along with several familiar faces. The teacher gave them all a goody bag, along with a cute note/poem, which Sarah keeps beside her bed and reads each night!

Summer is here. We have spent lots of time at the pool already, and enjoying staying at home without having to take Sarah to school and be at the bus stop at 3:35 each day! Brian is now working from home most days. He will start this full time, within days. Each Wednesday he will meet with his boss and co workers and go over the weeks events, but most of the time he will be in our home office...working away! He's very good at actually working while being at home, which I think could be hard. I try to keep the kids out of the way, and try to forget he is home. Once he gets doors in the office, he can shut us out easier. I like it though..saves money from driving downtown everyday and he is home (walking out of the home office!) at 5pm, instead of 6:30 after driving. It's great!

Matt, Candyce and Norah visited from Arizona last weekend. Sarah and Luke loved meeting their new cousin and were so excited to have her here. Luke was surprisingly very gentle with her and Sarah was very motherly.

July 1st we will head to Ponce Inlet, Fl. for 10 days in a beach front condo with Brians sister and her family! We made our yearly countdown on poster board today, which will hang on our fridge,and the kids will mark off days each morning..28 days and counting!
