Just an Update

I know posts with no picture are boring, but I don't have any new pictures. Easter and Mother's Day have come and gone. The boys, really Lenny, decided that this year for Easter he wanted to hide the eggs and have us find them. He said that would be his gift too us, so I needed to come up with a gift/surprise for them. So I made a treasure hunt for them to find their baskets with some yummy candy waiting inside.

Mother's Day was nice. I received a coupon book from Lenny that he had made at school. Most of the coupons were things like 'Mom does not have to do the dishes', 'Mom does not have to cook dinner', 'Mom does not have to vacuum', etc. So, I asked him if that meant that he would do those things for me. He said, 'No, it just means you don't have to do that for that day . Maybe Dad can do it for you.' Thanks Lenny for giving me permission to take a break. Patrick filled out a card at school with things like 'My mom is prettiest when on her wedding day, My mom likes to make rice krispee treats, and Mom my is funny when ... my mom is never funny.' I guess Patrick does not think I have a sense of humor. When Lenny was in preschool and did the same kind of card he said, My mom always says 'Hurry up we are going to be late!'. Which is embarrassingly true. We are always running late.

Leonard and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. We got an unexpected gift when our neighbor invited both of our boys to spend the night with her boys on the night of our anniversary. We had already gotten a baby sitter for the following night to go out, but had not made any plans for the actual day. That was the first night I can remember spending alone with Leonard since Lenny was born 7 years ago. There may have been another night in the past 7 years somewhere when we were alone, but it is definitely a rarity.

We are still planning to move to Georgia. Our house in Ohio has currently been on the market for 4 months. We want to be in GA by the end of July, so now is crunch time. We are planning a trip to GA this weekend to look for a house. Pray that everything will work out in a timely manner.
