I am sorry for being out of commission for the last few weeks. We have been spending a lot of time outside with the kids. We get home from work and we take the kids for a walk, eat dinner, play outside and then it is time for the night to unwind. I will try to be better!!
We celebrated an exciting day during my time away...Sunday, May 10 was Garrett Day. That is what we call the day that we got the call that we had been chosen to be Garrett's parents. After we went to church, we took the kids and went to dinner at the same little Mexican place that Joel and I ate the day we got the call about Garrett!! It seems like it was so long ago, but it also feels like it was just yesterday. We are thankful everyday for the gorgeous blessing that we call Garrett!!!
We have had to change our vacation due to the Swine Flu outbreak in Mexico. We were scheduled to leave for Puerto Vallarta last Thursday. A couple weeks ago we changed our vacation and also the dates we were to travel. We are now going to Montego Bay, Jamaica, and we leave next Saturday!!! We have never been to Jamaica, but we are looking forward to it. It will be sad to be away from the kids for 5 nights, but it will be great for Joel and I. Now I have to start all of the packing!! YUCK!!!
Joel's sister is in town for a few months, so we have been trying to spend time with her. We are actually having a BBQ tonight to spend time with Joel's family. It will be great to have an evening with Jennifer and also with cousin Alex.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!
