Jump Back. . .

My blog has been patiently waiting for me while I have neglected it, so I thought it was time for me to update. We have kept very busy as a family recently. After joining the YMCA a few weeks ago, we have been swimming on a regular basis. Very fun for all of us because the pool is indoors and they have cool fountains and sprays and a huge water slide for the kids, so we can enjoy it in all types of weather. We also enjoy it when regular kids are in school and it is less crowded. My kids love our new PE outings and their swimming has improved greatly.

We have also enjoyed a family vacation to San Antonio this spring. We visited the Alamo, Riverwalk, Sea World, Wildseed Farms and Cascade Caverns and had a fun time relaxing in the evenings around the indoor pool at the hotel. Knowing the rough year we had last year, it made this trip very meaningful for all of us, and time passed way to quickly. Everything about the trip was perfect, the weather, the kids, everything, so other than baby cutting a tooth, we all had an awesome time. It was a blessing to borrow my parents van, which is a little bigger than ours and has a CD player. We spent many hours listening to the Jonathan Park series, which was a big hit with all of the kids, but especially with "Meanie".

Jason has been having vision issues and seen several specialists down at Dean McGee this spring. We are going next week to see our fourth eye doctor, so hopefully we will get some answers to the problems he is having. Right now, we have three different doctors with three different diagnoses, no treatment being done, and everyone keeps passing the buck to the next doctor down the line :-(

Hope all of you are getting out and enjoying this beautiful weather. Kind of makes me want to invest in a hammock. . .

Be blessed!
