Very Busy Spring

Soccer began for Christopher - He plays in the township league which has scrimmages every Saturday. The season started cold but is now warming up. Christopher usually plays goalie and really loves it. I was able to capture a few pictures of him playing.




Band Concert for me and Darlene- Each spring the band has a concert with the color guard performing the routine from the fall field show, dancing to some new songs, and a little bit of the routine for next year's field show. They did a wonderful job. It seems like we practiced way too much for only one show, but we had a lot of fun. Due to technical difficulties with our video camera, Tom was not able to video the concert and I was too busy back stage to take pictures. Christopher was able to capture a little video and a few pictures with his camera though.




Darlene's Semi-Formal - Here are a few pictures of her and Bryan.




Darlene's Band trip to California - I was not able to go with the band due to the expense so Tom had a little growing up to do to allow Darlene to go without me. This was her first time on a plane and handled it very well without me being with her. She had to call me from the plane while they were boarding due to confusion of seats. I helped her get over her fear of not knowing what to do and then she was fine. She had a lot fun and to Tom's glee, she came home safe and sound. Here are a few pictures she wants to upload.



Next week is Christopher's band concert and soccer continues until the middle of May. It never stops.

Did I get your attention?

Meet Gryff (short for Gryffindor):

We adopted Gryff from the SPCA Tues. (4/15/08). The pound thought that he is about 1 yr. old, although we think that he's a little younger than that. He really moves like a puppy. He loves to play and chew. Although, he's been really good so far about only chewing his toys. He's mostly house trained (yay for adopting!). We've had a lot of fun so far getting to know him, and he seems to feel pretty much at home in our house. Commands are coming along, albeit slowly. He's very good at "come," which is great, becase now we can let him off the leash outside. Sometimes he gets "sit" right away, other times it feels like pulling teeth.

Anyway, we're really happy with him, and we're having a blast. We can't wait for folks to meet him.

Baby Boy? Baby Girl?

Here is a picture of #3.  Becky and I went for "our" latest ultrasound last Friday.  "It" is 1 lb 11 oz and 12.1" long.  "It" is right on schedule in development, due date of Aug 3.  Woohoo!

PS.  Even though the baby has been jumping around for months and Becky is constantly feeling "it", just this week I have started to be able to feel the movement from the outside.  Very cool.
