This is going to be a rather long post....but I needed to get the memories posted! Amidst an emergency room visit and sickness, our Spring Break Vacation was actually a time of relaxation and peace. I really enjoyed the time of leisure. I mostly stayed away from the computer. We watched movies, we played the Wii, we did puzzles, I made meals for the family, and we just spent quality time together. It's just nice to get away from normal life from time to time. It all kind of started on Wednesday, April 4th when the kids and I used different flavors of Kool-Aid to dye our Easter Eggs. It was so fun and I can't wait to try new flavors out next year.

Life 365 | Week 6
Monday, February 1, 2010 Joey finally broke his record in one of the Tennis Training Games! He was so happy! (And on Sunday he actually broke it again - so the above photo is of his latest score!) I was so excited today - because I FINALLY got my computer back. It has seriously been such a frustration and causing me so much stress to not have it. This week I'm going to have to spend most of my time getting caught up and back on track with my design stuff! So happy to have my computer back - I really don't survive very well without it! Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Beth and I did some grocery shopping today and came home with some special treats. JJ and Beth got some valentine cookies, fruit snacks, and applesauce when JJ got home from school. Happy Groundhog Day! Wednesday, February 3, ... [Read More]
