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.
