Spiderman 3 was awesome!

We did one of those things that we seldom do this weekend: we went to a movie on the weekend it opens! The special effects were awesome and the story was good. Sue felt like the violence was a little too much, but... Anyways, we enjoyed the flick. Go see it if you get the chance!

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone is enjoying the celebration of Jesus' resurrection from the dead this Easter. I was able to get the day off, and fixed pancakes for everyone before they went to church. Stephen is sick, so I had to stay home with him, but at least the rest of the family got to do their thing at church and help make the celebration good. We're planning on just relaxing this afternoon, and getting back into the normal routine now that spring break is over. We hope you're having a great day wherever you are!

Happy Birthday, Mom Emery!

Mom Emery is 78 years old today! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Megan M!

Today is Megan M's birthday. She's one of our friends from church, and we think of her as part of the family. We hope she has a great day!

Good quick trip to FL

We made a quick run down to my parents' house in FL for Spring Break after the mid on Monday. We spent the afternoon with Mark and Mary and Sue's mom in Ocala, then went to my parents house. We got to spend some time with my brother and his family, and my mom had a big dinner with my aunt and cousins coming out to visit. It was great! I took a couple of hours to hang a ceiling fan for my parents, and the kids all had a great time running around the property playing and having fun. We came back so I could go to work on Thursday afternoon. It was a good trip!

Spring is in full swing in Georgia

It's always funny every year until the pine starts blooming - people
walking around sneezing and complaining about the pollen, yellow swirls
behind us as we drive down streets, and reports that the pollen count is
over 1000 for the day (over 100 is concsidered extremely high :-) But
the blooms are so beautiful - the pretty dogwoods and pear trees, the
azelias (sp?) as they start blooming, and all the flox, heather, and
pansies going crazy with the warm weather and sunshine. Ah, spring! I
love this time of year in Georgia! We hope you're enjoying the season
wherever you are!

(The picture is of a big dogwood in our back yard. It's beautiful!)

Had to put down Tommy today

We made a sad trip to the vet with our dog Tommy today. He's been sick for about a month, not eating much and not drinking a whole lot. He's had a lot of pain in his hind quarters, and got to where he didn't even try to get up and walk outside anymore. We discussed it with our kids to make sure they understood and took him to the vet today and had him put to sleep. We'll miss him a lot - he's been a part of our family for about 11 years. I know that I'm going to miss him.
