The Garden

At Alex's school, they have been planting a garden. I have been asking him what they have been doing, and yesterday he informed me he had been planting "weeds." It really made me laugh! After I questioned him further, he told me he was planting seeds. :-)

April Fools!!!!!

Julia brought this note home to share with her Daddy. Needless to say, he was not very happy about the situation. Since he was still at work, I faxed this too him. I called him and told him Julia had waited until the last minute to give this to me, and I was furious. I had sent her to her room. He needed to deal with this and call the teacher because I was just too upset to do so, and I shouldn't be the one to have to handle everything. Well, he did (call). He realized it was an April Fools joke when reached a number that reported the weather, temperature, & traffic. He called us back and started laughing. We got him good! :-)

Easter

Easter was full of excitement! Julia & Meri helped with an egg hunt at Alex's school. On Easter, we went to Fort Valley for church, lunch & dinner with family, and an egg hunt. We also were able to connect with some old friends we haven't seen in years! Later on Sunday afternoon, we went with the grandparents out to a putting green. You know this excited little Alex (and big Alex too)! Little Alex thinks he is Tiger Woods, and he watches him almost daily on The Golf Channel.

She Made It!!!!!

Yesterday, Julia tried out for Honors Orchestra, and she made it!!! We are so proud of her! She is pictured here with one of her violin teachers.

Stinky is just too big!!!

This evening, Stinky was looking for a new place to lay down. She decided inside Julia's bookbag was the perfect spot (until she realized she was too big for the it)! Watch this cute video of Stinky caught in the act, but try not to let her huge gut distract you!

It's Snowing!!

Yesterday, we had a lot of snow! It was Alex's first time ever seeing snow, so he was so excited! Julia & Alex made snowballs, ate snow, and made snowmen. Neither one of them wanted to come inside to warm up. They really enjoyed getting to slide down the hills!!! The only thing we all hated was this happened on a Saturday and NOT on a school/work day! Oh well.

Alex has plenty of confidence!

This morning, I had to take Alex to school. In the classroom before his, a little boy was taking off a fleece dinosaur hat that had spikes at the top of it. I said, "Look Alex--look how cute his hat is!" Alex replied, "Just like me!"
I don't think Alex is lacking in the confidence area!
