Updates
Will
Will continues to love school. They just finished up a two week unit on dinosaurs and are starting on a rain forest unit. They are playing outside much more now since it has been such beautiful weather. He continues to love baseball. We have 2 games a week and 1 practice. The games are usually on Thursday or Friday, and Saturday. It is so much fun for us all. The other big news in Will's life is that he lost his second tooth last night! This meant another visit from the Tooth Fairy and more cash to add to his wallet he got from the Easter Bunny.
I'm not sure life could get any better for a 5 year old little boy.
Ryan
The big news in Ryan's life is big boy underwear! He is doing great with the potty training and he pretty much only wears a diaper at night. (Sorry if this is TMI for some of you.) We go for our 3 year old well visit with the pediatrician on Wednesday. Ryan also loves baseball because it means he gets to run around wild with the other younger siblings and usually gets a treat from the concession stand.
John Will
JW continues to enjoy work. He has gone out of town twice recently. Last week he attended a conference in Memphis with one of the partners from his firm.
He is about to embark upon a huge project in our backyard. We got the boys a playset that is currently in 4 huge boxes and has to be put together. Stay tuned!
Ginger
I have been going to a Ladies Bible Study on Tuesday mornings that is being taught by Rhonda Lowry (first lady of Lipscomb) on the book of Mark. It has been fascinating and very thought-provoking. It involves a lot of study and homework, but is nothing like a Beth Moore study. If nothing else, it has made me realize how much I DON'T know about the Bible and how much I still have to learn. I guess it is a life-long study, though.
My parents are currently in Ireland and I am very jealous of them. My Dad sent me an email earlier saying they had arrived in a quaint little town and were going to tour a castle that was built in 1400. I really want to go to Ireland now. Not Europe, just Ireland.
We go Thursday morning for an Open House of the elementary school that Will is going to attend in the Fall. Will is going to go with us, so I am excited for him to see the school for the first time.
I'd like to ask you all to pray for a friend:
The wife of one of JW's very best friends in the world just found out she has a tumor on the base of her skull. She will have to go out of state to have a very dangerous operation to try to have it removed. On top of all this, she just gave birth to their first baby 2 weeks ago. Please pray for their entire family.

5 Things I Love Right Now
1. Fresh strawberries- I can't get enough. However, they are still not as good as the ones I used to pick and eat with my Grandmama straight out of her garden. Nothing will ever be that good.
2. 'Lil Drums- miniature Drumstick ice cream cones. I can eat one and not feel as bad about myself!
3. Watching Will and his team play little league baseball. Nothing, I mean nothing, is as cute as my little Willabug in his baseball uniform. I love everything about it. The ballfields, the other parents, the concession stand, everything!
4. Ryan actually using the potty successfully! (However, reluctantly) Big boy underwear and everything! This is good, because I was getting really tired of buying diapers. Going on 6 straight years, and they ain't cheap, either!
5. The fact that it stays light later. My boys are currently riding their bikes in the driveway, after dinner, waiting for daddy.

Easter
We had another whirlwind weekend full of visits with friends, egg hunts, and family.
Ryan and Will on Easter morning. Will was very proud of the new wallet the Easter Bunny left for him.

I had to include this picture. This little girl in Ryan's class is perhaps the cutest child I have ever seen. I absolutely adore her and her mom.Friday, April 10, 2009
Photo Booth Fun
The boys and I were killing time at Opry Mills yesterday afternoon waiting on some friends. We found an old-fashioned photo booth! So fun!Tuesday, April 7, 2009
Superman turns 3!
We had a whirlwind weekend celebrating Ryan's birthday, my Dad's birthday and attending an Easter Egg hunt party with friends. We lucked out and had beautiful weather both days. I didn't get as many pictures from Ryan's party because I was so busy.
Yes, JW and I have on matching Superman t-shirts. He wore it only to make me happy!

Someone's turning 3!
Ryan is turning 3 on Friday! I am sending these cookies to his class tomorrow for a little birthday treat. Aren't they super cute?!? I love my new set of number cookie cutters! His Superman birthday party is on Saturday, so I'm sure I'll have more fun pictures after this weekend. Stay tuned!
