At the request of my father.....

I am here to update my blog. My dad sent me an email today asking me to update the blog. It has been a little busy around here. The kids and I spent the week after Easter in St. Louis. We had a great time visiting with family and friends. I caught a cold towards the end of the trip so I spent the weekend we got home resting while Kevin spent some "daddy time" with the kids:)
Once Monday hit we had to start getting ready for our neighborhood garage sale which took place Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It was a little nuts trying to get ready for it (I also hosted my book club that Wednesday) but it was a lot of fun and we got rid of a lot of junk. There were four families on our block that participated and because it was the first garage sale of the season (that's why they do it the first weekend on April every year) there were a lot of people who came out. Seriously - on Thursday the sale was from 3PM - 7PM (weird time - but that's how they do things up here) and there were times you couldn't even get down our block because there were so many cars!
It was crazy!
This week brought us back to our normal routines. Swim classes started back up again this week. Jackson is doing a great job. He almost went of the diving board today. He got a little scared when he got to the end. Maybe next time!
We are getting ready for another trip to St. Louis for baby Matthew's baptism on Sunday. We are also going to spend the night with Kevin's brother and sister-in-law in their new house on Friday night. Jackson is excited to have a sleepover with Uncle Keith.
I have to go put the kids down for a nap. I promise I will get back on later today or tomorrow to post some pics and update on the kids. They are so funny lately.

Enjoyed your update! Sounds like you are busy! We recently had a community yard sale the next town over and they had a total of 86 yard sales on one day. There were yard sale signs about every 10 feet! People were walking up and down the streets going from one house to the next. I love them! Wish I could have gone to yours! Give everyone a big hug from me!
