Already a new month is already nearing...coming around this week! As for this past weekend, my family from Erie came down to have some fun all together. We colored eggs, had a couple Easter egg hunts (we learned how serious Larry takes hiding eggs), had a big yummy feast by master chef Jon, went to a museum (some of us) and then all went out for a Mexican dinner...& that was just Saturday.
Today has a been a little quieter, we did go to see Monsters vs. Aliens and Eric is now having a play date. I'm a little jealous as the boys have tomorrow AND Friday off this coming week. Also, Eric and Jesse will be providing an encore performance for an assembly at school on Wednesday. A local weatherman is coming to speak and the boys will be his opening act with telling some weather jokes (this is the second time they've been asked to do so in just the past month). Eric is also performing again playing trombone in their spring concert. It looks to be a busy week, but its not surprising with them now being full speed and well again (which is of course a good thing)!

March Madness?!?!
It's been a busy month...not ONE day on our calendar is blank, holy cow. This calendar has been helping us to keep it straight and at least know where we're at (well, somewhat). Ok, I think my BlackBerry is part of that too now...both good & bad.
I took Jesse up to Erie a couple wkends back as Eric wasn't feeling well. This weekend we had the Blue & Gold banquet and Jesse started not feeling well off and on. He demonstrated that MUCH further today after a visit to the zoo. Thankfully, he seems to be doing better now but hope that takes us out of the sickness boat for awhile.
Jon surprised us all in composing more new songs at the banquet and both boys got recognized for their achievements and advancement. They also had a talent show and of course they were great in that too. Jesse & I played the Entertainer as a duet (by his suggestion) and Eric played in a trombone quartet. They are so great.
Starting in April, I will actually have every other Friday off from work which will be nice. I have to put in a little more office time (already putting in the extra time most days anyway) on those other days and we're still moving downtown (I think its slated for July) but some things are starting to get ironed out so I think we're moving in the right direction.
Both boys just started taking piano lessons now also (separate books, separate nights, same teacher). They are doing very well...especially with all the practice that is expected, plus Eric has trombone practice on top of that. They have "the music in them" - I'm not sure they can help that but it's neat to see it come into fruition too. They're both doing chess again, in AWANA and soccer will be starting up for both in the next month too...how much more can we squeeze in??!! They're so busy, away and growing up, I sometimes have to instead cuddle with the dogs. The evenings are like a girl parade as they seem to follow me everywhere, it's funny.
That's quite the Crownover catch-up for now. THINK SPRING!
