We have guests!

McCall came running in the house the other day saying "Mom, there's a birds nest in the playhouse!" Of course I thought she didn't know what she was talking about and proceeded to tell her it was windy the night before and had probably blown a whole bunch of sticks in a pile. After lots of pleading she finaly got me to go outside and take a look. Somehow I've got to realize that I can't be right ALL of the time (only MOST of the time). It was so amazing! The kids are excited because this is the closest thing they will ever get to a pet!

Waiting for global warming to kick in!

We had a couple of really nice spring days last week... what happened! It's dang cold the last few days. It's so sad to watch the kids with their noses pressed up against the glass staring out at the play set wishing they could go out and play!

So, American Idol last night. Besides some good performances, and some pretty funny coments from Jimmy Kimmel, it was great to be reminded of how blessed we are. I couldn't help but think of all those little children in Africa when I climbed into my nice warm bed. It is unbelievable to me that it's for real... I just can't imagine the struggles! I told Ryan I just wanted to scoop up all those kids and bring them home and take care of them. What a wonderful life we have and so many things to be grateful for!

It is weird to think that there is only 8 weeks of school left. It seems like McCall just barely started 1st grade. Although she fools me with that teenage additude of her's sometimes, I can't believe she will be 7 this month! As soon as school's out, we'll be on our way to Utah for a couple of weeks. We can't wait!
