Its Plum Rainy season here

That means 8 days of rain, high humidity and lots of interesting smells coming from everywhere.   We are still working on finishing up school(maybe 4 more weeks!!) and then moving across town end of June.  The days are fast and the weeks are faster.  Life is very full, and I'm thankful!

Here's a few pics to update you on our happenings around here. . .

He chose laser tag as his birthday party!

Our first ever April fools joke on the kids.  We told them that shots are good for them, and that they would protect them from diseases.  They all thought they were going to the doctors and we took them to McDonalds for breakfast!!  Caro is really worried.

He wanted Strawberry Shortcake for his dessert

Off to get our teeth cleaned, and Lawrence needed an xray 

And then, there was that time that Mark went to play baseketball against his wifes better judgement and tore his Achilles.  

I'm sorry, I just had to post this picture.  He's finally walking again, without crutches, almost 2 months later!!

Mom and Dad came for a visit and Dad rode the bike while I did my long Sat. runs!
