Pictures from Spring Break

Alex bowling a strike.
Emily & I went to Tea Leaves & Thyme for lunch one day. She put a flower in my hair & took this picture.

Here is sweet Emily. She is having some terrible allergies this Spring so her eyes are a little puffy.
Look who we ran into at Mary Mac's. It's Fox 5 News meteorologist Ken Cook. He & his wife just had dinner, when Jody & the kids saw him. Jody was sooo excited, he HAD to take a picture. He was very nice & has grandkids Alex & Emily's age. He was heading over to the studio, to do the weather for the evening news. Thanks, Ken for keeping us up to date, on the latest weather info.

This is Emily riding her new bike. She thinks she still needs the training wheels. She is just very cautious.
Then there is Alex. He rides straight for you & swerves at the last second. But he rides really well without training wheels. Sweet Ella Bug

Spring Break

We are wrapping up the kid's Spring Break. Monday will be back to school & homework. But only for 6 &1/2 weeks, then it's Summer time. This week Jody was able to take some time off to do yard work, I mean to spend time with the kids. So we've had a fun relaxing week hanging out. The kids got new bikes, so they rode those a lot. We went bowling, out to eat, to our friend's house for a cookout, to the movie & out to eat some more. My Aunt Penny was back in town to get my cousin Cale back to Iraq. He had been home on a short leave (for my aunt's B-day) and was due at the ATL airport Friday. We got to visit with him Thursday. Please keep Cale and all the brave men & women in your prayers.
I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to hear that we didn't make it through this week, without a trip to the Dr. We had to take Ella on Wednesday. She had not been sleeping well & had a little cold. So, after getting up every 30 minutes Tuesday night, & seeing some drainage in one ear,I decided she needed to be seen. The Dr said she had a double ear infection & that the ear drum had ruptured in one ear. Poor baby. I felt so bad. She seems to be recovering great though. They want to check her ears in 3 weeks, which works out great. Her 18 mth check-up is in 3 weeks, so we'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone. If you don't mind, pray for the health of our family. It seems that we've been nothing but sick lately and it's getting old. One good thing, we're getting into the warm months, so there shouldn't be too many more illnesses.
I'll try to post some Spring Break pictures later. Have a good day.

Babysitting Landon

Tonight, Brett & Stacy went on a date, so I got to watch Landon. He was here for a few hours, so I took lots of pictures. He did really well & the kids had a blast with him. Ella likes to hug him & pat his back, if he cries. Alex likes to kiss & hug him. And Emily likes to burp & hold him. I really didn't have to do much with all that help. We had a lot of fun. Brett & Stacy enjoyed their time away too. Here are a few pictures (JEN) so you don't have to see poor Ella at the hospital still. Oh BTW Landon will be 3 months on Wednesday. Isn't he cute?!!
