She's 4!

Miss Morgan is 4! She had lots of fun and several parties...one with Nana, Aunt Laura, Uncle Buck & her cousins. One at school that MIGHT have involved skittles. And a fun night out with Mom, Eric & Will at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Crazy Weather and Cute Pics

We had the craziest hail storm on Good Friday. The kids were facinated and have some stored away in the fridge!

I also wanted to post some pictures of Morgan's family night at school. She loved showing us what she does on a daily basis as well as her classroom!

A Blur

The last 4 weeks have been a blur. Obviously the first week and a half after the accident was consumed with the funeral and family time. But once we came home, it was trying to get back to "normal". I'm still not quite sure what normal is for us. Eric and I were talking last week about how most of the time we've been married, we've been living in John & Karen's home! Crazy for a 36 and 39 year old huh? On that front, we've had good news. The buyers of our home closed on March 25th and we are officially mortgage free. We had a lot of loose ends to tie up before the closing but we got everything done and closing went off without a hitch. On Wednesday March 30, we signed the contract to build our new home. We're so excited to see things come together over the next few months.

Our lot!

We're also diving right into spring sports with Will. He's playing both football and baseball and my goodness...for an 8 year old he has quite the schedule! Football practice Tues/Thurs and games on Saturdays. Baseball practice Monday/Friday/Saturday - although those will switch to games soon. He's loving both and he's improving at both sports with all the practice. Whenever we're home he wants to be out throwing the football around and is already intent on improving my spiral! :)

Miss Morgan's doing a lot of tagging along and watching at this point. Thankfully, most of Will's practices are at Prairie so she's able to do the tour of all the school playgrounds! She loves swinging and testing her limits on the climbing walls. She loved having an "Erie & Morgan Day" last week. Eric took the day off and they spent the day having breakfast at IHOP, grocery shopping, met Mommy for lunch at the McDonald's play place and then went home to make cupcakes.

E & I have been glad to be more regular again about going to church. It felt like for awhile someone was always sick or we were out of town. We're grateful to have a more normal schedule ahead of us for a bit. We're both busy at work and trying to make time for each other as well. Sometimes it's easier said than done...but SO worth it. I can't believe we've been married 11 months! Time flies when you're having fun, right love?

Catching Up

Life got in the way and I totally failed on a "picture a day". But as I look back at my camera, I have some great pictures of everyday life from February! So here we go...

Loving the warmer temps!

My handsome guys!

Friday 2/11

It might hit 40 this weekend! That IS the highlight of this blog post :). We've been running right along, busy with work, school, scouts, church, bible study, baseball and more. It seems like life is kind of crazy but the 'normal' kind of crazy if that makes any sense. Will and I have both caught the bug that's going around. For Will it was 3 days out of school with a high temp and for mom it's been losing my voice - a treat to those around me for sure. :) Will recovered just in time for his Cub Scout meeting and Valentine's party at school...lucky boy! We're thrilled that we've sold our house! Everything is going smoothly towards closing so far. We're planning to continue to live in Eric's parents' home for a few more months, while we take our time finding the perfect home for our family. We're so grateful for them allowing us to live there and the gift of time so we don't have to make rush decisions. We've looked at several homes and are exploring building, but haven't made any firm decisions yet. We have friends who are dealing with sadness and grief and our hearts are so heavy for them. One friend lost her mother very suddenly with no hint of trouble until she was gone. Other friends are dealing with a parent's serious illness. I'm so grateful that God is our strength. I'm grateful we can pray and receive comfort and peace. More pictures to come...this weekend, we have baseball practice, pinewood derby cars to finish, packing to start, storage units to re-organize and more!
