Whew! It has been a while.


Well folks, it has truly been a while since I have been on here. We have been busy with getting ready for the end of the school year and Manuel graduating from NMMI. We are looking forward to the commencment ceremonies and will celebrate the next step in his life. He will then be leaving for San Diego, after a couple of weeks at home, to begin boot camp for the Marines. This will be the beginning of great things for him. Although I have mixed feelings about him being so far away.

We still are waiting for the house to sell. The showings are picking up, but no offers yet. Please keep this in your prayers. We know that the house will sell when God wants it to. His timing is best. (just wish He would clue me in a little) :)
The above picture is of Shanty's hiding place when she is in trouble (for digging in the yard) or when she has her bark collar on. She has the pity thing down.

Spring has finally sprung here and we are trying to keep pretty plants alive so the house looks nice. My yearly battle. I just can't understand why they need water EVERY day.

We are all fine. Mark is back to softball and so far there are no injuries. Track is over and Ashley has returned to skating. Andrew is almost done with homeschool for the year and Manuel has left for Florida for a drill team competition. They are riding the bus and will miss 5 school days. I'm not exactly seeing the logic in this, but am trying to go with the flow. Graduation announcements will go out this week or next.
