Gosh we've been busy since my last post! My mom came down on March 10th and helped me get the house in order which was no small feat. It's really not in bad shape but with the baby it makes it hard for me to really dive into projects. We started outside with lots of yard work including removing a tree, planting new flower beds and throwing grass seed. Then we made our way inside and cleaned out closets, touched up paint, changed light bulbs, scrubbed floors. I know I'm leaving out many other tasks but the point is that now I just have a few small things to do and we can officially put our house up for sale! I could not have done it without help - thanks mom, I owe you "big time"! ;)
On March 20th we drove to Michigan, which was actually kind of nice to not be doing physical labor even though we were in the car for 16 hours! LOL! Friday night we got together with Jeff, Carrie and the girls we also got to see Carrie's sisters family. It was busy and I think Avery was in awe over all of the activity and stimulation - sensory overload! That night we got to experience the first snow storm of our visit! I honestly could not believe that it was snowing in the middle March! My mom laughed and reminded me that there was a pretty bad snow storm 35 years ago - which resulted in the birth of yours truly! This wasn't a light dusting either, there was actual accumulation - probably 4-5 inches! We spent Easter Sunday at my parents with Jeff, Carrie and the girls, it was a very relaxing day, in fact we were all ready to take a nap after our yummy Easter dinner! Avery loved the ham and enjoyed it as left overs for many meals after. We were sad to leave the fam but happy to get back to the south where it is nice and warm. BTW... flying "stand by" isn't as glamorous as it sounds - especially during Spring Break. We finally got on the first flight out Friday morning after not making it on two afternoon/evening flights on Thursday.
