We're Still Alive...

It's amazing how fast life travels! I can't believe it's been over a month since I visited this site! We've been so busy!

Austin turned 8 on March 28th. What an amazing little boy he is. We celebrated his birthday at AIM Gymnastics -- what a great place for a birthday party! To sum it up, for 2 hours, someone else supervises any number of kids monkeying around on various equipment, jumping castles, and ropes swinging from the ceiling. They provide pizza and balloons, all you do is bring the cake. Why didn't I think about this earlier?

I officially went to part-time on April 1st. Again, why didn't I think of this earlier? What a huge difference it has made in both my attitude and my productivity! I can accomplish a WHOLE lot more now that I am not working so much. Another plus is that once a week, a couple of my friends from work come over for a couple of hours and we scrapbook. I didn't know just how therapeutic that can be! I'm still like 7 1/2 years behind, but oh well -- you have to start somewhere, right?

Springtime is a busy birthday time for us -- Austin's just passed, mine is next Saturday, Mike's is 5 days later on May Day, and Kaiden's is on May 11th. Add a little soccer and a lot of baseball, and that makes for an expensive and exhausting couple of months! Oh - and Camery, I haven't forgotten about your email -- be sure to call me when you have a free minute and we'll set up our birthday lunch!
