We are here!

I have several friends now who do this blog thing... I have spent months now amazed at Lisa's eloquence (really she's amazing). I have spent weeks amazed at the things the Goodrums are doing. I sit back and think my life isn't that interesting and I am surely not that well-spoken about it. But, I figure, so many people are interested in how things are going here in Mississippi that I may as well get started. During my swim this morning I thought - I do send out a lot of emails, updating all of our friends on how things are going, how Will is growing, what the kids are doing, all with pictures too. This seems like as good a place as any to get that information out to all, probably with a little more reularity too. So I will get you all caught up on the last few weeks - they have been really busy...



Central Mississippi A&M Club Muster

I was the Muster Chair for this year and the event went off without a hitch. We had a pretty good turn out & a lot of enthusiasm for the growth of our club.

Sloan turned 6!

AHHH! I am the mother of a 6 year old - April 24th! It just sounds crazy. Really, she had a Super Party April 28th, where things were Superman or Supergirl themed. We had the party at Friendship Park & it too seemed to go well, the weather cooperated, the kids seemed to have fun & it wasn't too stressful - really.

The Crawfish Boil

My hubby's radio station sponsors a big party here each year - The Miller Lite Crawfish Boil May 4th & 5th. There are lots of bands, TONS of crawfish, and it's really pretty fun. Even if you don't like the music or don't eat crawfish, the people-watching is hysterical.

Evie's 1st dance recital

Evie was a Ladybug in her 1st dance recital May 5th. She really ate it up & had a great time! She loved all the attention. She had observation day a couple of weeks before the recital in her class... Evie doesn't do so well when she can see me in the class...

Kindergarten Graduation

Sloan has graduated from Kindergarten - yesterday. I really don't remember doing this when I was in Kindergarten. It was such a cute ceremony, a little long though in Will & Evie's opinion.

We also had a big fundraiser for Sloan's (and Evie's) school the weekend of May 5th - The Gardens of Madison County. The girls & I baked and baked and baked for this!

School gets out on Friday & Sloan can't wait. The girls will be participating in Swim Team. Sloan will also have TaeKwonDo - she has graduated from the cub program & will begin the junior program this summer, she also wants to try soccer this fall - ugh, HOT! Evie will be attending dance camp and we already have her registered for lessons this fall.

Nate has started work on a jeep, he sold his 2002 TJ and I think he will be starting a blog on his progress for that as well. It looks to me like it will be a huge undertaking!

I will stop for now as it is time for me to load up the family and run another errand!
