Yay Claire!!




Claire had her 1st gymnastics competition today. It was a bit of short notice as she had been sick and missed several of the classes leading up to today. Despite all that she did great, winning 1st on the beam and 3rd in the floor routine and vault. Overall she placed in 2nd place and won the silver medal. Great job honey!

Easter Pics and Another Project Finished





"Found another one Mom"


The hunt is on.........


Always happy to stop and smile


IT'S DONE..............


So it's been a very busy (aka:crazy) couple of weeks here! Two days before Easter the weather cleared and Adam geared up to built the new playstructure for the children. The manual gave an estimation of 8-14 hours of assembly time (based on 2 people working). The wood came in three large (read: extremly heavy) boxes. None of the wood was labelled, the nuts bolts and screws were randomly mixed into a couple of plastic bags and there were quite a few "mystery pieces." But my "super-husband" wasn't deterred and after 40+ hours and some help from my Dad who joined us over Easter weekend the job was completed. Adam even installed a solar panel so the kids can have light in their club house in the late summer evenings. Yay! And the smilely faces of the kids made it all worthwhile. Since the above photo was taken we've added a sandbox underneath for lots of digging and sandy fun! It's going to be a great summer! Thanks Adam!

The kids had a fun Easter morning with an indoor hunt and an outdoor hunt. From the bunny they received baskets with lots of treats, new Spring clothes, and new bikes for lots of fun this summer. We were joined by family for a yummy Easter dinner!
