Once again I have fallen behind in the blogging world. I really don't have a good excuse - besides the fact that I'm tired and still battling morning sickness :) So here's a quick update on our lives, sorry, no pictures.
Easter/Spring Break: Our good friends Dave and Bridgette (and their cute kiddos) came to visit us all the way from Wyoming! We had a lot of fun: playing games, geo-caching, riding bikes, lots of Easter egg hunts, jumping on the trampoline, visiting Bill's creatures at school, eating good food. I'm sure I've missed a few activities, but you get the idea. We had a lot of fun and can't wait until the next time we can all get together.
Awards: At the end of every school year, the college Bill works at does an annual awards ceremony. Bill was honored with two awards, which is quite an accomplishment for a new faculty member. First, the outreach group he has started, Creature Outreach, received the award for outstanding leadership (or something close to that, I can't exactly remember). Second, Bill received the award for Faculty Member of the Year! Pretty exciting and very well deserved. When we told Dylan about the awards he wanted to know if Bill got a trophy and actually he did get a plaque for each award, so Dylan thought that was pretty cool.
Grandparents: My parents came to visit this last weekend. It was a quick trip but good to visit with them and especially for them to get to see Dylan and Paige. We had a lot of fun with them. We went bowling and Dylan bowled a 110, which included 3 spares and 1 strike, it was great. Thanks to them for making the trip. We felt very spoiled by the time they left.
3-0!: Yesterday was my 30th birthday. Hard to believe that the 20's are gone and I've now joined the rank of the 30's. When I think back to my 20's I actually accomplished quite a bit: graduated from college, got married, moved a couple times, had kids, bought a house. I can't imagine the next decade will hold as many life-changing events, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Well that's about it for us. I'm now 16 weeks along and still waiting for the morning sickness to subside, although it isn't as bad as it was so I guess I should be thankful.
