Wow, I'm not so good at keeping this blog current. The boys had a great Easter as did we. We had lots of family over for Easter afternoon/evening. Tons of food and better yet - lots of desserts and candy. The boys are still sneaking candy all hours of the day and night. I am actually eating spilled skittles as I type - yes they were just laying here on the computer desk - ooh there's a pack of nerds should I need more sugar. I am out of sorts having been off work for Spring Break am going back tomorrow. I got some great news... I'm able to take the whole summer off! I have the best job ever (aside from my full-time job of motherhood).
March is definitely "in like a lion" around here. Coach-pitch and t-ball are in full swing with practices/games almost 5 nights a week and Saturdays. We'll see how I handle this. I have already given Cara an earful of my coach-pitch concerns (2-hour practices 2x a week, 2 games a week, somewhat competitive dads practicing with the kids including one dad who made his son do push-ups when he missed a catch). This could get Friday Night Lights scarry - ha ha. Anyway, I can't keep my mouth shut so I'll be talking with all the moms soon and get more scoop on if this is really what I want for Matthew. So far he is very happy and enjoys practice. I am a little down because I will miss both of their first games Saturday. My dearest and bestest friend in the whole wide world will bury her baby brother, Ed, Saturday and I will spend the day with her and her family. He was 29 and fought hard, and we all prayed hard but in the end his body just couldn't go on anymore and God's will was to take him peacefully on Good Friday. Please keep Erica, her mom, dad, and family in your prayers.

Book Reviews
- A Soft Place to Land - Susan Rebecca White. Any fiction novel which incorporates cooking is usually a favorite of mine. I will definitely be waiting for her next novel. I also love the setting of Georgia with all it's "southerness" and San Francisco with all it's progressiveness.
- "More Than You Know" by Beth Gutcheon. I loved this book. A little troubling and spooky but a great read. It is set on the coast in Maine - such a different world from mine!
- Friday Night Knitting Club - loved this one but was upset with the ending. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy stories with strong female bonds and roles. I am looking forward to the sequel.
