We Love Spring

Spring in Ohio is tempermental. One day it's 80 & feels like summer, the next it's back to a high of 49! WHAT?

So...Libby & I are enjoying each warm day when we can. This past week, we took a trip to the Columbus Zoo. She really likes the pink flamingos & the grizzly bears. We also did some yard work and enjoyed getting dirty!

2008 Baseball Season

The 2008 season started for Grant on April 9th. They had a decisive win over a rival UA team that night.

Unfortunately for Grant, the next outing (an Indiana tournament) brought an injury. Grant is nursing a fractured navicular bone in his right hand. A trip to the ortho will bring more details...

Western Caribbean Cruise

Mike & I embarked on a five day western Caribbean cruise at the end of March. We stopped in Jamaica & Grand Cayman.

Most interesting was the journey to Bob Marley's birth & burial sites. We had a personal tour thru rural Jamaica for the 1 1/2 hour trip on a one-lane road up a mountain. When we arrived, we were entertained by a very unique "singing" tour guide who showed us the house where Bob Marley was born, led us up "Mt Zion" to the 2 room house where he wrote much of his music, and into the mausoleum where he was laid to rest.












In Grand Cayman, we enjoyed shopping and the beautiful Seven Mile Beach. I do not typically enjoy the ocean...but I could have stayed there forever!!













On the ship, we enjoyed the pool, five course meals and spending time with good friends!

Spring Break 2008

So....Spring Break this year meant different things to different people in our family.

Mike & Gina were cruising with friends in the Western Caribbean for 5 beautiful days

While, Grant, Shelby & Libby made some unforgettable memories with Grandaddy & Gracie at home.

THANKS to the grandparents for giving us peace of mind for that week away!
