We're still here... Sort of

We still do not have a computer at home (due to the lightening strike that hit our house graduation weekend)so I haven't been able to upload my pictures or keep up with the blogs much.

Here's some updates though:

Dylan has finished 1st grade! He made the honor roll all year and his reading/writing/spelling/math skills have all developed quite well. We are confident that he is ready to tackle 2nd grade at his new school in the fall. He is officially enrolled in a small (very very small) Christian Academy for the 2008-2009 school year and we are all three very excited about embarking on this new adventure come August.

Baseball season has kept us very busy this month. Unfortunately, quite a few games have been rained-delayed but the games we have played have all been intense and so much fun to watch! We had 4 games scheduled for this week. Tuesdays game was cancelled due to rain but they played last night and should play tonight and Saturday. After Saturday, they have one more game on 6/7 (G-daddy's birthday!) and then it will be tournament time! Dylan has had a blast playing this season and Chris has enjoyed coaching.

Chris helped out a BBQ Fest again this year. Dylan and I went down there to eat and hang out with him on Wednesday and Thursday. We all had a lot of fun. One year Chris hopes to have his own team. That would really be a blast!

Memorial Day weekend Dylan went on his first vacation without us (it was alot harder on me than it was on him). He went to Savannah, TN with his Godmother Rachel, his "Uncle" Tre, and their children Grant and Tatum. They had a blast all weekend riding their four wheelers, playing in the water, and making s'mores at a bon fire. Chris and I spent the weekend at Spring River on canoes. It was fun but we sure missed our boy. We couldn't wait to get him back Monday.

We have a busy summer planned. The 3 of us are going to spend a week in Florida in June. In July we are going to Hot Springs for a few days and we're having a big family reunion with all of Chris' side of the family. When we are at home, Dylan is going to the same "camp" (he doesn't like it to be called a "sitter") that he went to last summer and they have lots of fun activities planned.

Hopefully we will be able to get a new computer soon so I can download pics for you!

Wow! Ya'll do have a lot going on still. I can't believe the lightning did that much damage to your home/stuff. Scary, scary. But it is good to hear from you--even without pictures. :)
