Hoppy Easter!


I decided today to start a blog. As a busy mother of three, I just "felt the need". We had a good Easter. We started the day attending Easter service at our church, First United Methodist here in Wichita. It was a beautiful, uplifting service! We didn't stay for Sunday school as we had family over to our house this afternoon for dinner, and we still had things to do. Family started arriving around 1:30pm, and by 2:30pm we had a full house! My brother, Mike and sister-in-law, Diana, brought my mother, Billie. She is living at Presbyterian Manor now, struggling with her memory, but I think she had a good afternoon. We don't have a medical diagnosis of alzheimer's, but we truly believe that is what we are dealing with. My sister, Marilyn, and her common-law husband, Mark came and brought Mark's daughter, Marcia; and granddaughter, Aspen. My long-time best friend and "SIS" Melody came and brought some goodies. She brought wine, and was glad to finally have a glass as she'd given up alcohol for Lent. She also brought some delicious salad and an angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip on top! She is such a sweetie! Corby did his usual super job of fixing a great dinner! We had ham, hash brown casserole, green beans and corn. Mike & Diana brought a salad, and along with Melody's other goodies she brought some sweet Hawaiian bread! YUM! All 3 kids had to work. Brandon worked 11-8, Kaleb worked 5-10 and Kaitlin worked 7-10. Weird hours for Wendy's! She's not too thrilled with her job after 2 weeks, but they haven't trained her on anything other than fries. She said she finally got to make a few frosty's tonight and bag some orders for the drive-thru. Whoopie! By the way, that's our 2 1/2 year old husky/chow Cinnamon, with our 9 month old kitten, Muffin. Can you tell they're both spoiled?

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
