Quick update

Well it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted. We've been really busy with soccer and small home improvement projects. Brian's been working in Kansas during the week so we can really only tackle projects that can be completely finished in under two days. We're definitely looking forward to him being home this summer so we can start painting and doing bigger projects again. The boys are both feeling better. The past two weeks have been rough. John was fighting allergies and a virus one week and then James hit his head hard enough to warrant a trip to the ER at 2:30 am last week. He was having concussion headaches and vomitting so the pediatrican said to get him checked out. He's feeling much better these days. No more headaches or vomitting and he's got his appetite and energy back. I'm hoping they are both able to attend school all 5 days this week!!

The MUD finally started work on the park going in next to our house. They excavated the parking lot area last week and hopefully will start framing soon. The MUD can't start any other construction until the utilities are relocated but hopefully that won't take too much longer. It will be really great if the park is completed by the end of the summer.

Well that's it for now. May is going to be a very busy month for us. There's loads of activities on the books - a baseball game, Jocelyn's graduation, a bowling birthday party, Brian and James' birthdays and of course more soccer. Stay tuned!!

Let's Go Fly a Kite

We spent Saturday night and Sunday morning in Georgetown celebrating Poppa Steve's birthday. The weather Sunday morning was just fantastic. We went to the playground and flew kites before lunch. James had a great time while John got a bit bored and wanted to go swing. After he was done flying kites, James had a blast at the playground. His new favorite thing is the tire swing. He rode on it for a really long time.

James' First Soccer Game

Saturday morning was James' first soccer game. He's been to two practices but I guess they never really went over the rules because he was clueless. Thankfully most of the other kids were in the same boat. His team did really well and James actually helped score two goals! (well the ball just happened to hit his foot and then go into the net.) It was so entertaining to watch 10 four year olds all chasing the ball together. Hopefully with more practice and games, James will get the hang of playing soccer.
