We Are Alive...I Promise

We are still alive!!!  Since I have run out of "free-space" and haven't yet decided to buy more, I can't upload pictures.  I've noticed I like writing when there are cute pictures to go with it.  Of course, since I haven't yet learned how to get pictures off my new camera, I shouldn't blame it all on memory space!!!

I can't believe it's almost Easter!!!  March seems like a total blur.  We found out I was pregnant and then the morning sickness arrive with a vengence.  So, life here has mostly been about survival.  We did manage a day-trip to the Jacksonville Zoo with Grams.  When Grams and Grandpa went on a long canoeing weekend, we stayed at their house and took care of the dogs.  The kids and I went to Silver Springs and had a great time.  While I was gone, Spencer burned down the kitchen.  So...we ate out alot in April.

 Morning sickness + no appliances = eating out!!!

We've been gone every weekend in April.  The first weekend, we headed to Jacksonville (where their is a stove, microwave, and toaster oven).  We had a great time fishing and going to the County Fair.  Mom entered the quilt I made her (10 years in the making!) and it won first place in it's catagory!!!!  I am now the proud owner of a blue ribbon and prize money (3 whole dollars!!!).  It was really neat to see the quilt on display.  It was also cool to hear peoples comments as they discovered the handprints along the side.

The second weekend in April, we headed down to Tampa for Luke's baptism.  It was SO much fun to see all our olds friends and hang out at the beach with Katie.

Then...the kids and I headed up to Spartanburg and took over the Thomas household for a week.  Jeanne was in New York and Kelly was in Florida and I got to be the single mom to 7 kids!!!  Suprisingly, we all survived!!!

This weekend, we are heading to Atlanta to take the kids throught the LDS Temple Open-House.  Then we will continue up to Spartanburg, spend Easter there, Spencer will work at Xytel on Monday, and then we'll head home Monday night.

So...as you can see, I haven't found much time to sit at a computer and type!

I'm crossing my fingers that the morning sickness ends soon and that maybe I can find time (closer together than 2 months) to keep everyone updated on our happenings!!!

We love you and miss you all!
