My sweet boy, Wesley turned 5 the day before Gracie's baptism, so he was lucky enough to get to have a bunch of family at the park for a bbq and bday party. He also had a bowling party the next week with some of his "boys" and Gracie.
About 3 weeks ago we moved into a home we bought right across the street from my sister, Gretchen. Her address is 1818 and we are 1817! Our front doors front each other. My kids love it, my husband loves it and so do I. We love being in our own home! It is wonderful.
Shawn started with a new law firm about 6 weeks ago and it is going wonderfully. It is a much better fit for him and we are grateful for this new opportunity.
The last bit of "exciting" news is that from March 12-28 I was in and out of the hospital 4 times which resulted in my gallbladder being removed. As much as I don't like staying in hospitals, I am grateful that we fixed the problem and I am back to normal...with a four additional scarres (spelling?)
Oh, I almost forgot the best thing....1 week after we moved in Molly decided to help decorate my bathroom. She took a red King sized sharpie and covered my sink, counter, cabinet bathtub, walls, shower door, tile floor, and doors with red artwork. After a ton of scrubbing. It all looks as good as new, except that my doors and walls are primer white right now! Thanks goodness for little girls! I love my kids!

I just wanted to say we are right across the street from Aaron and Gel, and it is the most wonderful arrangement ever (4 years now). Our last homes were on the same street, so we knew our next homes needed to be even closer. Now the cousins just run across the street. It's so easy. I love that our kids are able to be close not just physically but friendship-ally! Ha ha ha.
Wow - a lot happening in your neck of the woods! So happy for Gracie. Such a fun step in life! How cool that you and Gretch are right across the street!! You can't get a better set up than that. I bet your kids love it and how convenient for babysitting swaps.

I miss you. I'm so glad for the update on your family! How fun for you to live across the street from your sister! Tell Shawn to call Blaine about his new job...he'd love to hear about it and we hope it's going well. Can't believe both our kids are getting so old. Sounds like life is going good...we're so happy for you!!
Is it possible Graicie is 8? Seems like I just saw you with her in your arms. Your mom told me about your surgery. So glad you are feeling better. Think of you often.
you live across the street from Gretchen!? How awesome is that!!
Hope you are all recovered from surgery.
