Fun in Atlanta

OK I really need to try harder to keep this website up to date. Our first weekend of spring break I got to go and visit my sisters and Mom for the first time in a very long time. We enjoyed a wonderful weekend together. On Saturday we went to my sister Tracy's house and had an awesome walk in downtown Atlanta. We ate outside at a cool pizza place and then walked back to Tom and Tray's house. The kids played together outside digging up worms and popping seed pods. That night we had BBQ steaks and baked potatoes followed by yummy birthday cake. MMmmmm!!! That night we all drove to Candy's to spend the night. After all the kids went to bed we stayed up playing Scene-it and Cranium. Such fun! The next morning was Easter. The kids
rippe
d into their baskets and we had a big breakfast. Mom left that morning but the rest of us headed to a big beautiful park to play Frisbee. The kids got to do a lot of running around and burn some energy. Woo Hoo!!! The kids all got along well and Thomas now wants to marry his cousin Harper. We are trying to explain why that just won't work. I think time will just have to heal that heart ache :)

Well, that's it for now. Miss you!


Blessings,
Mick

Yeah!




Yeah! We have heat!!! The last two things to be fixed were finally finished this week. The hardwood floors in the master bedroom and the heat downstairs. We were sooooo happy to finally sleep in our bed for the first time since December. Not to mention to finally open all the boxes to the master bedroom and have our clothes back. I have to admit I felt a little guilty complaining about being so cold. Every morning we would have to bundle up before going downstairs. Sweatshirts, socks and slippers were a must. Yet how many people in this world have a home, let alone heat. Anyway... we are definitely excited to be settled in our house and have every box unpacked. I have a lot of organizing to do. We are now on to bigger projects like raking up all the leaves in the back yard. Holy cow!!!! You can tell it hasn't been done in a while. We threw twelve bags of leaves on the trailer today and still didn't get them all raked up. More family fun for next weekend. Anyway... I just wanted to give you an update. I will start training for my triathlon soon. I have slowly been getting back into a workout routine. I just need to learn how to swim. A must for a triathlon huh?

I hope you are all well. We love and
miss you all!
God bless,
