April Happenings

Lydia got the Citizen of the Month Award for demonstrating the quality of the month--effort. She truly deserves it. She puts 110% into everything that she does! Congratulations!!
Rachel by the baby chicks that Richie has had in his class at school.
Jacob is getting really good at baseball and he loves it. He has decided to play baseball and not soccer next year. We hope to find him a good team when we are in Sunnyvale.
Richie loves to play baseball too. Although, I think that he likes to smile, give people the thumbs up sign, and just look good in the uniform as much as he likes to actually play.
We went out to look at the lot today. While I was checking things out, the kids had fun rolling in the grass across the street. We were excited about having a bigger lot (even though we will have one of the smallest lots in Sunnyvale--lots of people have several acres). However, the house is bigger too and the front yard will be much bigger than ours is now. So, the backyard won't be quite as big as we had thought. However, having this right across the street is almost even better. I will be able to sit on the front porch and watch the kids. They can play ball, ride their bikes, have a picnic, fish, or whatever and I do not even have to maintain it.
By the way, thank you to everyone who prayed for our house to sell. We sold it in less than a week and we close on Wednesday. We will lease it back until school gets out. Then, we will be grateful to family for the summer. Our new house will not be done until the end of August. So, we are going to live in Gordon and Jenn's guest house and also take a long visit to Arizona this summer and stay with Sarah and Jamie. Thanks family.

That was so fun to see your family, and read about what yall are up to. I love your house!! I love the nighborhood! I can't wait to come and visit. Georgia needs to make an invention for school and her first idea was to make a flying car that could take her to TX at light speed so that she could go and play with her cousins after school. I hope she can figure it out. See you soon. Love Sarah
