My goodness! Another three weeks have passed without any updates from me! Well, let's see what I can remember of the last three weeks.

Ryan's mom's birthday was Aoril 17th and we wen to church with them and then out to lunch where we finally let them in on the news...that our little bundle of joy that is due to arrive in October is going to be a girl! I had them just as convinced as I had everyone else that I was having a boy so it was a shock to them to pull out a tiny pink jacket as the clothing that they'll be putting on their granchild in a few months!

Ryan's birthday followed a few days later on April 22nd. We started the morning off with Libby hanging up some banners that she made for him the night before, and we took him a donut in bed with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to him as he woke up and he got to open his gifts.

We had a nice Easter and Libby enjoyed hunting eggs multiple times. :-) It was hard for me (with my absent brain these days) to keep up with where I hid the eggs! :-)

This past weekend a friend (we've been friends since we were five years old!) came into Gainesville from Texas to visit her family and so that we could have her baby shower - she's due July 19th. I spent Saturday with her and we visited some of her family, went shopping, and ate (a few times). :-) Sunday was her shower so I went over early to help her mom get ready and thank goodness I did...she was running way behind but we got all of the food ready and Machelle's family showed up, we ate, and she got to the business at hand of opening her presents. :-)

Last night Ryan had planned a "bowling date" with Libby, one of Ryan's friends, and his friend's 9 year old daughter. I met up with them there after work. The girls had fun bowling and while the guys finished up the third game of bowling I took the girls over to the arcade area and they played lots of games...well, Grace played lots of games and Libby just played lots of Skee-ball. :-) I can't blame her, though, that was always my favorite game, too. Well, that and Pole Position! Once they ran out of tokens they took their tickets over and exchanged them for prizes and you would have thought that it was Christmas morning by the way Libby acted after picking out her little prizes. :-)

And that brings us up to today! I need to get my laptop at home fixed so that I'll be more inclined to post more than once every three weeks! :-)
