Where Did April Go?????

A lot of things have been going on since the last post...

I was in Vermont unexpectedly for 9 days to be with my dad as we face some medical challenges. My brother was also there. We'll get through this together and he'll have surgery at Duke Medical in the next few weeks and recover at our house. Then, he'll move on down to HotLanta near my brother and sister in law!

The day before I left the four of us drove to Goldsboro to see an air show. It was excellent weather and I managed to get some color! I have a few pictures that I'll post at some point!

The boys spent spring break without me, but had a great time with Cailean. They did lots of "guy" things like becoming junior park rangers at local parks...went fishing...went swimming...did some hiking...they also spent some time with some relatives over at mom's.

Cailean's mom flew down for a week and it was perfect timing actually! She was definitely put right to work and we can't thank her enough. On Easter Sunday night...my grandmother fell and broke her hip. Cailean came to the rescue and stayed the night with my grandfather while mom and Mimi were at the hospital. Cailean's mom was home with the boys (phew). My grandmother is now out of the hospital and in rehab.

Ian is winding down his baseball season. After tonight's game he has 3 regular season games left and then tournament play. He is doing so well!!!! He is quite the centerfielder and is great at the plate.

Ian is doing great in school. There are certain areas we're working on improving though...that's just fine!

Gavin is back into soccer after taking spring break off (the whole team). That is coming to an end shortly as well. He is also winding down with pre-school. He actually graduates at the end of the month. WHAT????? Yea, tell me about it! He loves to announce at baseball games. He enjoys singing songs from Sunday School and pre-school. I hope he shows it in the end of the year show!

Ian turned EIGHT on May 2!!!! We had pizza and cake at the rehab facility, so that was a nice choice he made! ;-) He also earned his Bible at the Kirk along with a certificate for completing PCPW (another milestone for kids at the Kirk). He knows the Lord's Prayer by heart and understands the order of the service.

That's about all for now! Pictures later!
