Dr. Dad visits 4th Grade

JM was invited to Corynne's class to talk about the heart and answer questions from the class. I think everyone enjoyed his "lecture"!

Easter

Our Easter outfits with our early Easter "gift"!

After church, we went to Uncle Terry and Aunt Sheryl's house for Easter dinner. Aunt Rebecca and Aunt Sheryl had made a huge, delicious feast for a crowd!

And they did have a crowd of kids...

the little kids table (10 and under)...

the big kids table...

After dinner, Aunt Sheryl had an egg hunt for everyone!

Wynlakes Easter Egg Hunt

Each year the Wynlakes Country Club has a small egg hunt and inflatables for the kids. Tyler is officially to old to participate, so he joined us for a picture and then ran to Aunt Sheryl's house to visit with Preston for a while.

Ready, Set, Go Egging!

Little Chicks!

While Tyler and Corynne were at AMTA, the little chicks made little sugar cookie chicks for Easter!

AMTA

Alabama Music Teachers Association

Corynne and Tyler played 3 pieces this morning at the AMTA competition. We will find out there scores next week to see if they advance to district.

House Renovation Updates

Things are changing on the other side of town. Although things seem to be moving slowly, we are progressing on the home renovations. The electrical job is basically done, and we have approval!

JM met with the security, home entertainment and central vac people while he was on "paternity leave"! Some of that work is already done...yeah! We have new windows installed, the brick wall on Carter Hill is reaching completion, landscapers are drawing up plans, tall holly trees have been ordered to go along Carter Hill "wall", and the men are bricking the rest of the house.

This is a view from the back yard. The new master suite is on the left. I am standing in the "future pool area". I love my big cedar beams on the back porch!!!!

Another view of the master suite.

The new media room upstairs is taking shape.

Hope to be in the drywall stage REALLY soon! We are still hoping to move by late summer...but JM doesn't think it is going to happen :(

We are still trying to sell our current house. That is our big prayer request right now. SELL THIS HOUSE!!!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

No April Fool's joke here! JM turned 37 today! Good thing he made it easy on Mom and told her exactly what he wanted for his birthday!
