Weekly Update 5-2

We're a bit late in posting this update so I hope I can remember all we've done in the past two weeks!

Last weekend started with Nathan catching an earlier flight home than expected, so he arrived just as I was picking up the kids from school . . . which was good because the school was holding a "Spring Fling" festival in the parking lot and I couldn't budge the kids. So we had an impromptu night out.

Saturday we found a cute little water park that was having a "pre-opening" music festival. They had vendors and food and for only $3 parking - free live music. But there were soooo many other activities in the area, that there were hardly 50 people there. It was great because of no crowds - but very sad since there was no one there!!

Our landlord officially put her house on the market last week. So far she's only had one showing, but it is a real challenge to keep the house "show ready." We're doing our best.

Then we had the usual run-around all week. Nate was off to Montana and I juggled the kids, the dog, the cats, the cooking, the cleaning, work, school, etc. We even found time to have dinner with Amy and her kids, since crazy Mike was out of town. Amy is expecting her 3rd any day now and she is amazing - her kids are so polite and her house is so clean! I just don't know how others do it - I missed out on that gene or something. Veronica and Ian had a great time together, and Alex and Julian are SO much alike - I can see them being fast friends as they get older. Two trouble-makers!

Veronica had a field trip on Friday to the Shriners Circus. She said she had lots of fun and wants the rest of the family to go this weekend too. We'll see. I still have a thing about clowns. They creep me out. Veronica is also going to a Birthday party for one of her best friends here, Miss Mary. We're sad that Mary won't be going to the same school with Veronica next year - but hope that they'll stay friends.

Mel made plans to come visit us at the end of May! Yay! Our first visitor since we moved back.

Ok, I promise we'll get some photos this weekend and post some soon. Have a great week everyone!
