Finally updating...

So, It has been awhile since I have sat down and updated this thing. I went back to school this semester. Between that, travels, keeping up the girls, remodeling this house, chasing Chad down, I have forgotten about the family blog. My apologies. Here is the rundown as simple as I can make it. Chad is on his way to India with his boat for a job..something to do with pipe work that got misplaced during a storm. He will be home sometime in July. Dera is begging to get her learner's permit and her belly button pierced when she turns 15 in 2 weeks. Both I am on the fence about. She is growing so fast, both are. Miss when they were little and let me braid their hair. Anna has started Softball, the Stealers, and wishing her coach had more faith in her that she can pick up the sport. She is the type of person that once she has set her mind to learn something, she won't stop until she perfects it. Both have been painting lately, sketching, always doing something creative which warms my heart to watch. We have become addicted to Guitar Hero 3, Rockband, and Dance Dance Revolution...So glad winter is over even though we have a cold snap right now. Pool is up and ready for us to get in it. I am ready for school to be over. I got a roll in a play called, 'Heaven Help The Po'Taters'. Rehearsals have been fun. I haven't done anything in awhile so I am enjoying it. Attached are recent pictures. Anna's ballgame, Chad's family came down, and random shots over the months. Walk in love.....
