Here Comes Peter Cottontail-

OK - well here comes the Dooley Family. Didn't sound so catchy. We are leaving tonight and heading to St. Louis. Right now I am procrastinating - I should be packing. I just realized I hadn't updated the blog in a while.
We are doing good here - Two weekends ago we went to St. Louis to visit with some friends. On Saturday we spent the evening with our friends the Podorski's. Jackson and Kate had a good time playing with Lilly and Elly. We missed Elly's first birthday party the weekend before when we had to cancel our trip because of illness. It was fun to catch up and they are planning a trip up here sometime in April.
On Sunday we had the chance to visit with our friends the Nix Family. It was very exciting because we got to meet their new arrivel - Anna Dola. Anna was born in India and she arrived here in the US about a month ago. She is just a year old and she is absolutely precious. Anna's big brother - Elijah is the same age as Jackson (they are about a month apart). Jackson and Elijah are very much alike and seem to just take off where they left off the last time they saw each other. They had a great time playing together. I wish we saw them more often :(
That had been the first time we had been back in St. Louis since Christmas. That is the longest time we have gone! It was nice to get things accomplished here at home - and we enjoyed a few visitors along the way.
By the way - we love visitors! Anytime you want to come stay for a day or two - please let us know. We would love to have you.
So - I guess I should get back to the packing. I promise I will post some pics after we get back. Kevin is leaving early Monday morning to come back - but I am staying for a few days with the kids since it is Jackson's spring break. I'm really just playing it by ear - but I will probably leave to come back on Thursday morning.
For all of those we don't see this weekend -
Have a Happy Easter!
