5-17 Nap time

Dad is taking a rest after a day in the sun and yard.

5-13-09 Soccer game

Alex is having fun in soccer. He likes the games more than the practices. And all the kids like the treat time at the end of the game/practice.

5-2-09 Day at Grandpa's

Another day at Grandpa's. Most kids go to their grandparents for a vacation. Well Alex goes to his Grandpa's and works. We went down to South Bend after swimming class on Sat. This time we brought down my girlfriend. That way she could be outside watching Alex while I was workin in Dad's office. Alex and Debbie picked up the ig sticks and raked out the bushes and then Dad mulched up the leaves as good as he could. Had a beautiful day. Dad wanted to get on the roof and clean that but that goodness we ran out of time.

Soccer practice

I signed Alex up for spring soccer this year. He wanted to last year but it was to late to get him on a team. So far he is liking it. Reminds me of watching the twins and Craig playing hockey at an early age. When one falls the whole team goes down.

Easter Day

Easter Morning Alex got up early and ran down stairs to get his Easter Basket. Once again that silly bunny left one for the family on the dining room table but Alex's was gone. He came up and showed us what we got in ours and then back down he went to look for his. Not long into the search we could hear. "I found it" "The bunny left me OPEN SEASON 2!!!!!!" He was so happy.
Alex and his first tulip. What a ham he is. the mess under his eye is looking pretty good here. He was trying to break a branch in half like his Uncle Mark. As you can see the branch won.

We had the kids down the street over for an Egg hunt. They had to wait on the front porch and by ages they could run to the backyard and start hunting for eggs.

A great day for the hunt. Sunny and dry !!!!

The little kids haul.

The rule was I needed the eggs back for next year. So they are here cracking them and taking out their treats.

4-9 Night time egg hunt

Howell has this cool activity at Easter time. They have a Marshmallow drop and then a night time egg hunt. This year the drop was done off a roof. they that two guys up on the roof tossing off hadfulls of marshmallows. The kids down below had to try and find the special colored one to get a prize. Alex got lots of marshmallows but no colores ones. Then they moved over to the soccer field for the egg hunt with flash lights. It was a hundred kids running around picking up plastic eggs. Alex had a blast. I was out on the field and Dad sat up in the stands watching.

Alex in grey sweats and blue coat.

Flowers !!!

On Thursday I got the nicest surprise. The girls up front buzzed my office and asked me to come up to the front desk. Since they did not say what client was there I assumed that it was my Dad. (Todd at work and Alex at school). But no it was the flower delivery man. It was really nice surprise. And the bright colors are a nice change from the dull yellow of my clients envelopes. When I told Alex I got flowers he asked if I brought them home to look at. I said not this time since I was spening more time at the office than at home. The card says it all. Hang in there, Yep only 2 more weeks !!!!!

The desk looks clean. But look a all the files on the floor and piled on the counter. Each one is a client that I am working on.

I am so busy, we have two monitors for my computer.
