Happy Easter, Happy Spring, Happy Everything!

Spring has sprung for sure in North Carolina! We had our last freezing night about 10 days ago, followed quickly by 70+ degree temperatures...gotta love the South... Now gardens are blooming, tree pollen is covering our cars, and green-thumb Karen is happy!

Catching up on all the news:

Ben with the famous cowboy boots...

Easter weekend we had our first "Grandparent Overnight" with Ben...what fun! Friday was a day with mostly just the Boys...and then Saturday was Grandma Day! We baked cupcakes, blew bubbles, played ball, went to the Easter egg hunt at our church, filled the hummingbird feeder, read books and generally goofed around. Photos follow:

Ben and his Mom make "egg-eyes"...

(Ben found the Golden Egg at another egg hunt!)

...and Ben hunts for eggs at Derita Presbyterian!

In other news...here is Mike with his girlfriend, Kim Lowder...and his CAR! Mike is now moving into an apartment with 2 room-mates, a big step for him! Very proud...

Spring means that Bobby is back on the ballfield, working as an umpire for his 8th (?) year...maybe more, I'll have to check the source! *smile* In between, he finds time to be a doting Grandpa to Ben and, of course, Dane, who is cuter by the day...

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter...we are lovin' our family!
