Long time coming
It's been a while since I posted, so here's an update ...
Rachel is 14 weeks pregnant and still doing great. On Sunday, it will be 15 weeks. I have my 20th High School reunion this year and it is about the same time the baby is due. Peggy, our good friend, has offered to accompany me as my "date." That would be hysterical. Her hubby Tom said he'd keep an eye on Rachel for me.
The kids had a great Easter. Their step-cousins came over and we feasted on ham, lamb chops (courtesy of Rachel's mom), homemade ice cream and sausage. The kids hunted eggs, also. We fixed their bikes and they spent a ton of time riding around town. While Rachel's mom couldn't come, she was here in spirit.
We said goodbye to our little blue pickup truck on Saturday. I spent all Friday afternoon getting it up and running and it went to live with Rachel's mom in Carson City. She's going to use it to transport her dogs to the hills for their walks. The good news is that we can finally park in our driveway!
We've been getting into gardening and have planted all sorts of bulbs and other flowers around the yard. They are all in bloom and look great. We're taking Thursday through Sunday off so we can get some rest and be recharged.
We're thinking about getting a second car that is small just for around town (and for when I'm on the road picking up the kids from Merced). I don't like the idea of leaving my pregnant wife stranded at the house.
Cian turns 10 years old in May and Madison, my goodness, is 15 now. She'll be taking driver's ed this summer. Parker turns 9 in September. (Am I really old enough to have kids this age and be out of high school for 20 YEARS????)
