Where I've Been

I haven't posted a lot lately, but I have lots to post about. We've been pretty busy, busy enough for my brain to yell "STOP!!!!"
And now, I am stopping. In fact, if all goes well, I get to go on a date with my darling husband to the Kronos Quartet!!! I am so excited!

Last week, our wonderful friends from Ithaca, NY came to visit. We took them to Amish country to experience a good meal, and shop in the bulk stores. It was fun. I was really surprised when Chayce requested a piece of "sour pie". I asked her what she meant and she said lemon or lime...yes, my daughter was requesting meringue. She's always been one to request the fruity stuff, rather than the rich chocolate or caramels her mother loves. Perhaps this is her secret to the 6-pack abs that she sports? ha ha

We've also been working on planning some church activities. I just finished with the RS birthday party last night. Whew! Glad it went so wonderfully. And, I wish I had pictures to show off how well my friend Shanda did on decorating the cake for us. It was the RS crest...beautiful. She even brought cupcakes.

Also, my sis-in-law is getting married in May. We found out in Feb. This gives us just enough time to plan the trip there, as Stephen wants to have his dissertation underway before we go as well.

Which leads me to another awesome update...Stephen has his dissertation committee formed and now we just wait for approval of everything and we can begin the process of the dissertation itself. YAY!

There are other things, I'm sure, that I've been doing, but at the moment must run off and get my kiddos ready for a play date. Ahhh, sunshine!!!
