Dinner at Cody's

I was in Charleston Tues - Sun helping my parents get ready for their move (they bought a one story house in Charleston). It was a lot of work, but we managed to get most of it done and the movers came on Sat. They are all moved in, but now they are trying to get everything unpacked before the baby shower for John and Sue.

The kids went swimming Friday with Craig at Lytle Pool. Then we all went to dinner at Cody's in Mattoon on Friday night.

Julia & Ethan's Baseball/Softball Games

The kids both had games on Sat and they both won.  Craig forgot to take pictures of Ethan's game (I was not able to be at the games), but he took two pictures of Julia bating.  

Dinner with The Ohlanders - FELT A KICK

We had Mexican for dinner on Friday night with Scott and Allison at Caoba. The food was great! After dinner Allison told me to feel her stomach and I FELT HER BABY GIRL KICK FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!! It was such an amazing experience! I was with her twice last week (only for about 30 min each time), but she was not interested in kicking for me then. She kicks her Mommy a lot, but I guess she was shy at first with me. Allison said it was not a very big kick for her, but at least I was able to feel it. I can't wait to meet this little girl. She will be so spoiled. Allison & Scott will be amazing parents.

El Rancherito & Villa Grove

We went to dinner with my parents to El Rancherito in Charleston. They redecorated the restaurant and it looks good. The food wasn't that good, but the white cheese sause is still the best!

We went to Villa Grove to put flowers on my grandparents grave for Mother's Day.

Ethan's Porsche

A friend of a friend owns this Porsche and let Craig and Ethan take it for a ride.  The first thing they did was take it to the car wash.  They took it on the highway and drove really fast...probably better I don't know the real speed they were going.  They had so much fun.  Hopefully someday they will get their dream car...

Congrats on your report cards!

I started typing the other post and then loaded a picture from Picasa and couldn't merge the two together so I had to do another post. I hate technology. :)

Report Cards

The kids got their report cards and did really well. We are very proud of them! We found a great deal on the Wii so we bought it for the kids for their report card present for the year. Craig & I really wanted it too and thought it would be fun to do as a family.

Comments: Ethan is a hard working student in all areas, and he is well organized. He always does what he is told to do the first time. In spelling, he has put forth more effort and has done a great job learning his challenge words. Both his Revolutionary WAr Time Line and electricity circuit board were very informative and neat. Ethan rarely shares his opinion about topics we discuss in morning meetings. However, when encouraged to do so, his comments indicate that he is listening and that he understands.

Good job, Julia & Ethan!
