Dear Diary...

That's about as far as I ever got with the many journals and diaries I started, as a kid growing up. I thought it would be the same way with blogging, as I am just not a dedicated writer. I have pleasantly surprised myself, however, even if it is just one or two posts a week! It does help to motivate one, knowing that there is expectant family in another state waiting and checking patiently for posts. The only motivation I had with my diaries was, ummm...well, nothing :) So family, consider yourselves lucky... LOL!

Still just the same 'ol, same 'ol here. Ty and Lee are in the middle of rebuilding our deck, thank goodness. Turns out all the wood holding everything up was completely rotted! When they were pulling the wood up, it was literally crumbling in their hands. The kids and I have spent many afternoons on that deck this spring, so we are here in one piece by the Grace of God!

The lilacs out front are in full bloom, and boy, does it smell heavenly! The grass in the backyard is also starting to come up, but the weeds here sure are persistant. I am afraid weed-pulling will be a never ending job while we are in this house!

We are getting so excited for the coming month! There is a lot planned so far, but I just can't wait to be close to ya'll again. Trap will be getting back sometime around that same weekend as Mom, Dad, and Mike. It almost feels like Christmas!

Well, laundry and dishes are beckoning, and I must heed their call (or else we will be eating off the table in our underwear...)

Have a great afternoon everyone!

That is quite a picture, you all eating off the table in your underware. Thanks for a good chuckle. I am also excited about the month coming up. Seeing you on the occasional holiday and Saturday nights at church just isn't enough! We will be totally sick of each other by July, if all goes as planned.

Here's to being totally sick of each other by July, LOL!

Steffie, I just love your blog posts. Even when you have nothing to write about, you make them interesting. Thank you so much for keeping up with it even though your schedule is so busy. :) Love Mom

Hi Pooky Bear,
