Wow life just keeps moving at our house!  I always think maybe in a couple weeks things will slow down… but it never seems to be the case!  I’m sure a lot of you can relate. 

We have been working hard at getting our garden going, but temperatures keep dropping (we had frost the other night) and it keeps raining, so it is a mud hole out there.  We did go out – in the mud – and plant grapes and blueberries last night.  I had ordered them from Burpee, and I didn’t want them to die before I got them in the ground.  (Even though they look half dead already.  I always joke that I am planting sticks in the ground when I get dormant plants shipped to me.)  We’ll see if they actually grow.  We don’t have the best drainage out there, which is what those two things need, so I’m not sure if they’ll thrive or not.  We added a bunch of mulch, so we’ll see!  I have six rose bushes sitting in our garage waiting to go somewhere (where I was planning on putting them is not going to work out after all) and several seed packets.  Matt planted a few things tonight.  Of course now it is supposed to rain 2-3 inches between tonight and tomorrow so those poor little seeds will probably be floating. 

I continue to work on my doula training.  I’m taking another class in June for post-partum stuff, so I have lots of reading and work to do!  I’m working with my local friend who is taking classes with me on designing a web-site for that as well.

There are 9 1/2 days plus report card day left of school.  YEA!  SOOOO Excited for summer break!  I’ll still be working with Christian on reading, but it will be so nice to not have to rush out the door every morning and deal with homework every night. 

Soccer season is coming to an end (two more weeks I think) and T-ball and soon swimming are picking up. 

We are contemplating purchasing a travel trailer.  The one we thought we wanted turned out to be a piece of junk when we went to look at it (a brand new piece of junk – it was not used…) So we have a couple other models we want to look at, and then I guess we will have to make a decision!  I go back and forth.  I think it would be fun to just be able to easily go camp several times throughout the summer.  On the other hand that is soooo big to pull down the road!  With our Suburban and the trailer we would be over 50 feet!  I also like staying in hotels on vacation and we could stay in a lot of hotels for the price of a trailer…  We’ll see…  My husband is pretty gung-ho about the whole thing!  (It was his idea and he’s trying to make it grow on me.  ) 

I have a few things to do and then I’m off to bed!  Just thought I would check in for a couple minutes.

Take Care!
