We had a very EVENTFUL week! Not only did we have family in town for Easter, we had our 1st MAJOR injuries! This is Cade a day after he was playing baseball on our 2nd floor, which is wood. He swung the bat, threw the bat down and started to run "the bases". He slipped on a hockey stick and went right into the corner of the wall. We rushed him to a different Urgent care place because...

two days earlier I took Emily because she broke her wrist! Carson was the only one who didn't require a Dr's visit, however he was the one who started the week by swinging and while he was mid air, the swing broke and he landed face first on the ground.

We had a great week at Grandpa and Grandmas, my parents. We only live 10 minutes away, but sometimes life gets crazy and we go a couple of weeks without seeing them. Emily ended up sleeping at my parents' house the entire week.

The boys love playing in my parents' backyard. We only have a small yard and haven't done much to it, therefore we haven't moved over any of the play toys to our own yard. This at least gives the kids something to do when we are over G&G's house.

This is Easter morning. The Easter bunny came to our house and Emily was not there so we waited to have the kids open their baskets until they were all together. The Easter Bunny does not hide our Easter baskets because we are usually not home. We actually never know where we are year to year at Easter so their baskets are just left out. Not very fun, but they don't know any different.

Jeffrey was home this past Easter for the 2nd year in a row. It was so nice to be home and to be together. We enjoyed our last week together since Jeffrey signed with an Independent ball team in Maryland. He reported on Sunday, April 11. He left early Sunday morning and made it to Maryland at 3:30 that afternoon. He passed his physical and he threw for the 1st time yesterday with a team since March 2008. He threw BP (batting practice), he arm felt great and he was at about 85 mph. We know that God is guiding us to where we need to be and we are looking forward to this season in Independent ball. We are blessed to be on the same team with one of my really great friends, and I think the laid back atmosphere is just what Jeffrey needs to get back into the game! I am looking forward to the journey that God has for us this season!
