The Minnis Family: April 2008

Emily has turned out to be a pretty good bowler. And she really enjoys it....Anna on the other hand, can take it or leave it. It did get a little better when we got her a rack to bowl on!! She thought it was cool letting the ball go down the slide!

I don't think I got the photos of thekids working slave labor in mom's yard on here. Anyone know the laws on child labor?? Ha!Ha! They love helping Mamaw in the yard!!

This was when Dennis and Mom took the girls to Bernheim Forest to the canopy walk. How pretty..of course, I didn't get to go. Some of us had to work through Spring Break. :(

As you can see, we've been spending a lot of time outside now that the weather is getting nice. The girls love it....of course all of our allergies are going NUTS! But, we just deal with it. Anna and I went to the zoo yesterday.

Well, speaking of, it's time for us all to stop reading blogs and go outside and get some sun!! ;)

Wow...I haven't posted in a month. Had you all given up? All 4 of our adoring fans! ;)

Our computer crashed, I had 2 out of town trips in March and Dennis is currently gone. Our kids are very confused and, quite frankly, so are we!! We are not used to travelling and being so disoriented. But the trips were a blessing.

First, I had the opportunity to give my testimony and a talk about Christian Action on an Elizabethtown Emmaus Walk. I was gone for four days, so the girls were a bit confused from that. Then, as if that wasn't enough, I left 2 weeks later to fly to Washington, DC, for 4 days for a work training.

Of course the highlight of my trip, was not really the training....it was meeting my newest little cousin who is just precious and handsome as can be, as well as meeting my cousin-in-law Nicole who was a delight to talk to. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality. The food was great and the atmosphere was a welcome relaxing change from traveling with co-workers!! ;)

Baker smiling away!

The training was wonderful and I feel professionally refreshed, but came back to illness as Anna had the flu. Then when she started getting better, Emily got Strep Throat. Then when she was getting better, I got the flu!! The second day of my flu, Dennis left for a field trip with his school for Virginia for the past 3 days. Needless to say, for someone with OCD issues and needing much stability, this has not been the easiest month for me! Ha!Ha! It has been a good test, and I survived yet again by the Grace of God and the HUGE support of my parents!!

During this month, we also had major car problems and decided to bail out on our Escape, which is currently for sale, and buy a Grand Caravan. We LOVE it! SPACE and comfort.

So, how are the girls, you ask? Well...see for yourself....
