Well, it's been a long time...actually that's a good thing.  Since Thanksgiving life has been pretty busy with normal stuff.  Ben and Nicolas are bringing home awesome grades in school!  Ben is starting guitar lessons next week and baseball will begin soon for Nic.

May will be busy for Ben - an MRI, bottom braces and he'll be playing Joseph in First Church's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!  That is May 8, 9 and 10.

He's been keeping us on our toes with some stomach issues - a trip to CCMC's ER last Monday night was most eventful...we got there at 9pm and returned home at 4:30 am!  He's had pain right after eating for awhile now and last week the pain went around to his kidney area.  A month ago an ultrasound came back normal as did a chest x-ray 2 weeks ago.  All bloodwork and urine came back fine from the ER last week.  He has an appointment with GI at CCMC early May - who knows!!!?

Good news - Ben will be playing the Cat in the Hat in Silas Deane Middle School's production of Seussical the Musical!  Those of you who remember Ben's days at C.A.S.T. - he was the Mayor.  So this is big for him!  It's this Friday and Saturday at 7 pm. if you'd like to come!

Nicolas has his own news - this Saturday he'll be in Emerson-William's Talent Show.  He's opening the 2nd Act with a boy band and their rendition of Jailhouse Rock!  Yup it's at 7pm as well!  We'll be the one's flying back and forth across Wolcott Hill Road from one school to the other!

My mom is doing good too - it's almost a year since my dad passed -April 8th.  We're all keeping her busy and she's getting out and about with me on Friday's. 

That's about it for now - it's Spring and it's wonderful!  We're thankful for that and the health of our boys....
