What we've been up to

What a busy month! When the weather has cooperated, Carter has gotten to play baseball! His last game, he even got the game ball to which he slept with for a week!
Carter has also been taking swim lessons. He was not sure about them but by the looks of his face below, he really started enjoying them. Or maybe it was the fact that he became pals with the only other little boy in there named Conrad. I hope we can spend lots of time at the pool this summer relaxing and having fun.

And if baseball and swim lessons haven't been enough we sold our house and bought this house! Actually our house is under contract and this new house we put a contract on! All before the April 30th deadline! Whew! We close at the end of May and we are so excited to start the next adventure of our lives in a much bigger house. This neighborhood has 5 community pools and a golf course so I don't think we will be too bored this summer. This house is only 1.5 years old and needs lots of personal touches so I can't wait to get started. The cool thing about this house, they both went to Auburn and the girl that lives there was an AOPi too! I don't think I could have asked for a more clear sign! After we get settled we plan on having a party to celebrate our new house and the end of a long house selling journey!

Brandon and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary, Brandon had a birthday and his grandad celebrated his 90th birthday! April is busy for us. We welcome May! Off to start packing!

Carter is 4

On Saturday Carter turned 4! We had his birthday at our neighborhood park. The weather was perfect and everyone seemed to have a really good time. Carter enjoyed having all his friends over to play. Wow, 4 years! How the time flies! What a joy it is for me to be his mommy - most days :o)

Easter

This was as good as I could get for an Easter picture. When 1 would cooperate, the other wouldn't. At least I have a picture! We had a nice Easter. After church we went out for brunch instead of cooking at home! I think I found my new Easter tradition. It was great not having to rush around to get to church, pictures, cook and clean. The weather was beautiful! The kids have been on a sugar high since our neighborhood egg hunt on Saturday! It is spring break this week and Carter's 4th birthday on Saturday so it is going to be busy! Finally the weather is nice but it sure is heating up eary!
