Spring is here!

Wow, I'm really great at updating this blog huh? I wanted to update a little on what is going on in our lives. The biggest event right now for us is that Ricardo is graduating on Friday!!!! I think that I am more excited than he is. I am unbelievably proud of him and how hard he has worked to get here. It hasn't been an easy road for either of us but we are glad we made it!

With graduation comes hunting for a job, what a wonderful time to be looking for work huh? We've been lucky though that Ricardo does seem to have one company so far that is interested in him. The bad news is that if he is offered a job with this company it would be out of state. The good news is, a job is a job. He has had one interview so far and will find out on Friday if he gets a second interview. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

I'm surviving the last few weeks of school (is summer really almost here?) Its been an interesting year, and I've learned a lot. Although they are cute and often quite funny (they wanted to name our betta fish 'pie' today, but settled on the name Rylee) my little kindergarteners are wearing me out. I am hoping for a change next year, although nothing is definate yet.

As for the girls, they are getting so big. We survived the terrible twos and are now on to the threes, which are not as terrible in some ways, but challenging in others. Allie is such a smart little girl she amazes me. She is learning to write her name (yeah can you tell she has a kindergarten teacher for a mom?) I am, of course, very proud, and probably the only one who can actually read it.

Hannah turned one on the 14th (I can't believe it!) she had a great time on her birthday. She got a little ride on pony and she rides on it every day. She has reverse down, but hasn't quite figured out how to go forward. She is almost walking, not quite, but almost. I am actually looking forward to her walking, I'm hoping it will mean she won't get so dirty all the time and I won't have to change her outfits three times per day! Here are some pictures of them as we got to get out today in
the nice spring air. Please excuse my lack of photography skills.






And a few of the birthday girl

Here they come!




Playing with Grandma

Also, my sister Becky is leaving for Africa on Thursday. We are excited for her and hoping she has a great time and is safe while she is gone. We'll miss you Beck!
