Ramblings

Wow! It's been a while again. Time sure flies when you're having fun. The weather has been absolutely GORGEOUS in Western Wisconsin so we've been spending lots of time outside. Hope had her first experience with sidewalk chalk yesterday so now there is beautiful art all over our driveway. She loves it!! Between creating masterpieces on the asphalt and rearranging the small rocks in the garden, she's giving our yard some class. She drew a picture of Elmo, Mommy, Daddy and a moo-cow yesterday.

Here's a picture that my Mom took of my nephew Jack a few weeks ago. Jack is the son of my younger sister, Alison and her hubby, John. Jack is almost exactly 3 months younger than Hope, so it's fun when we get together with them.



Hard to believe that Mark and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary one month from tomorrow. Some days it seems like we've only been together for a year, but somedays, in all honesty, it seems like it's been 500 years. Are all marriages like that?? Peaks and valleys. I guess you need both in life. Anyway, we bought our aniversary gift and it should be arriving sometime this week or early next week. We bit the bullet and bought a GPS unit so we can do lots of geocaching this summer...and for years to come. I'm pretty dang excited about it. I've been plotting the geocaching.com site to figure out which will be our next finds. We've got lots to learn about this sport, but it'll be so much fun. We're planning on taking the GPS to Stevens Point on Memorial Day weekend when we go for Andrew's high school graduation. Yep...Andrew is graduating from high school!! Where did my baby go?? I'm getting into that niece/nephew talk again. I'll talk more about each one another day. They're so special to me.

Time to go. Happy Tuesday!
