The weather here has been wonderful!!! (sunny and 75-80+!) Thought I would take a minute to write and fill everyone in on some of the things that have been happening around here. Last thurday Julie and the kids came to stay with us for a few days. It is amazing to see how much they are growing and learning! It's fun to see Alexa reading, and writing Michael and I little notes to go on the refridgerator next to the pictures that Connor has colored and put our names on for us. It was fun to take them to the park and to The Berry Farm for a picnic. We also went to the Nampa Rec Center to swim with Jill, Ethan, and Marissa Baird. Friday evening is when the 7 foot water slide is turned on and have "noodle night" at the Rec Center so we thought that would be the best time to go. On Saturday Dan, Jill, Ethan, and Marissa Baird came over in the evening to have pizza and to play outside, (our apt. complex has a play ground right outside our place for the kids) play the X-Box (for the guys) and to visit. It's fun to have family close by. We know that we are both very lucky to have such wonderful families. Julie and the kids left this morning, and Michael is out of town for the rest of the week, so now I'll have to go enjoy this beautiful weather! Well, I have now posted something...other than sports reports! We are looking forward to this summer and our upcoming tavel that we will be doing to see both of the families!
