Soccer officially started up last Saturday with a bright morning. The boys had alot of fun and that will be our Saturday mornings for the next couple of months. After that, we headed to our friend's birthday bash that afternoon. It was firefighting fantastic. I love that when the firemen showed up, Carter's first question was "Where's your dog?" as he had a dalmation named Sparky on his cake. It was a fun time and great to see friends that we don't see as often anymore, as they live near New Castle now. It was still nice having the occasion to celebrate together with lots of birthday cheer.
This week is a busy one as I travel for work again to Charleston, WV tomorrow to provide more training. I am hoping make it back in time to make it to the Pens/Flyers playoff game #5 too.... & I get Friday off work after ta' boot! WooHoo! I'm a lucky girl. The boys are plenty busy in the meantime with practices and places to be so surely they won't miss a beat...whether it be on the drum or on the piano on the trombone or maybe the guitar...always a joyful noise to be heard (of course, that means little quiet time).
That KDKA picture a ways back there was from a local CBS studio tour our MS Walk team won which was fun for us all. Our walk event is coming right up this Sunday morning also and fundraising continues on and has been going well. The cold and rain should turn to lots of sunshine by the weekend, more to look forward to!
Posting pictures has become immensely easier and quicker too....new laptop with a slot for our camera memory card AND wireless so I am doing so in bed watching (somewhat) TV...mega-multimedia multi-tasking...very cool :)

An Eggciting Easter Trip
We did alot of that this past weekend...& we were due. It had been quite awhile since we were all out east. The boys were so anxious they "called ahead" and were "delivered" a day earlier. The girls, Jon & I then came out Friday afternoon. Saturday we visited the great grandparents, attended a (packed) community egg hunt and visited Nana. On Sunday, we had a wonderful family feast which was very yummy and nice. The boys had another egg hunt and enjoyed color coordinated treats in their filled baskets....edible grass sounds interesting, but not really. It seemed as tasty as the normal plastic grass would likely be. All in all, it was a good trip...including not one but TWO trips to Ye Old Dog House...yummity-yum-yum!
As SOON as we got back, there was a knocking at our door as their faraway visiting friends were in from Ohio to visit their grandpa next door. So they've been out and about playing with them as much as possible. My decision to take Monday off turned out to be very wise as it was the Pirate season opener (makes work crazy and parking impossible) and gave me ease of mind in knowing I didn't have to instantly return to the grind...I only postponed the inevitable but it was still a good day (mostly) off. The bank even called to check up on me :)
