May update

It has been very busy around here. I better write down what i can remember before it falls out of my brain completly. We went to Maine at the end of April to visit my Brother and well...Maine. It was beautiful. We saw lighthouses and historical landmarks and took over 300 pictures. We took so many pictures that we ran out of space on my memory card. I went to change the mega pixel setting on the camera to make room for more picture, instead I hit the reformat button only to find that it reformatted the card and erased all 300+ pictures, thus eliminating my earlier problem of a filled memory card.

We have been gone every weekend for what seems like forever, and i am looking forward to staying home for a few weeks before our summer traveling begins.

Last week the children and i went to visit my sister and her family down in dc for a few days. We went to the zoo and ate lots of good food and watched lots of good movies.

Lilly has started swim lessons and I finished up a running clinic. Jim is thinking about doing a local triathlon next week and Lilly wants to sign up for soccer for the fall. We are all enjoying the warmer weather.

Jackson is a crawling machine, at least the scooting crawling, he is into everything and is trying really hard to push himself up into the sitting position. He is so happy and a very lovable baby. He has mercifully been sleeping 12 hours the past few nights, hope I didn't just jinx myself.

Last summer I painted lilly's room yellow and have hated it ever since. I repainted her room yesterday in what I believed to be the palest pink possible, only to find out that it wasn't the palest pink at all, by any stretch of the imagination. I wanted a pink so pale that you wouldn't really be sure if it was pink or a cream color. Nope, we have serious pink going on. It's a little cliche, but she likes it and I don't hate it, so victory.

We are now just trying to survive life as it roars past us. The garden and yard need tending and our back yard is calling out for a grill so we can barbecue all summer long.

I hope that grill comes soon!

I'm weeping over the loss of your Maine pictures. I imagine it's really beautiful in Maine this time of year. You're about the fifth person I've heard of who thought they were painting their room a pale pink and it was uber pink. Tricksy paint samplesez.

Are you planning to go to NC in June? You should. How close are you to Norfolk, VA?
