Spring Break



It doesn't get better than this!! Sonic on the front lawn and a polar bear dip into the pool. It's been absolutely gorgeous the past few days. Spring break started out with a bang...spend the nights with the cousins on Sunday night which led to a fun filled Monday with lots of kids jumping on the trap, playing basketball, eating pizza and let's not forget the (brief) jump in the pool. Today Nicole and her friends went to the mall to have lunch and of course to buy matching outfits while Gunner, Courtney, and Bridget went to McDonalds with Grandma Perk where they ran into Aunt Lisa cousin Hannah, Leah, little Kirkie and Blair. Which gave me a much needed chance to lay on the coach and gear up for our next adventure which was a late afternoon trip to Makutu's Isaland in Chandler with Aunt Jenet and her boys. Tomorrow we will visit our friends the Farnsworth's to see there 3 new parakeets (Sister Farnsworth gets coolest mom award for that one) and then the girls and I will head to the mall in search of Easter dresses. We ordered some on line in hopes of saving me this agony but they didn't work. If I'm feeling up to it we plan to see Horton hears a Who tomorrow late afternoon. We'll see...but all in all it has been a great couple days with many more to come!!!

Oh, all that sunshine makes my heart skip a beat...I really am an AZ girl through and through! I love this time of year in AZ, looks like you guys are taking advantage of it and have a ton of fun thing planned. I hope you are able to feel well enough to do most of it. I love that you get to hang out so much with sisters and their kids, I long for that too!

To answer your questions, Byron will be done next summer (2009) then we head out for a "real" job. Eleven years of med training has conditioned us to enjoy being somewhere for 3-4 years then moving on to a new adventure. The idea of a permanent job and residence is pretty scary to us. (the permanent salary might be nice...) A job in Phx. is looking very promising, if it ends up being the job that it is supposed to be. Obviously, we would love to be back close to family, the heat, and Sonic, but who knows what will feel right when the time comes. It is so fun to be in touch!

Fun spring break!! Why do we need to go out of town when we have the PERFECT weather this time of year?!! I'm glad you guys are enjoying the time off school! We loved hanging out with your cute kids the other day! Kirk ADORES Gunner and just loves playing with Courtney and so does Blair! Hopefully we're around for another year to enjoy all the fun times!
