I haven't had much inclination to write since Johanna passed away in early March. So much sorrow. Didn't know I could hurt that much. I guess we've been lucky or blessed or whatever you believe in that we haven't had much tragedy in our lives. This was truly the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my adult life.
However, life does go on. Spring has been beautiful in Hoover, the flowers made a great show this year. Wish I could keep them all year long, but alas, my azaleas have seen better days.
Most of you know that Amy is expecting again, this little one will join us around Thanksgiving. We've asked Eamon several time if Mommy has a baby in her tummy and he just laughs and says, 'nooooooo' and shakes his head. He's just too cute. Poor Amy has been sick again with the pregnancy and I'm hoping it doesn't last much longer. If she loses any more weight she'll be buying smaller clothes instead of maternity clothes.
Ely will graduate this weekend and then he and Nick will take off for Harper's Ferry, WV to begin the AT hike. Nick plans only to do two weeks and then come home. Ely will hike until he has to get back to start grad school in Huntsville in August or until he breaks something, whichever comes first.
Party at our house Saturday night after graduation. Come if you can.
Jenni has picked up some extra work at a place called the Puzzle Piece, she'll be working with autistic children and is very excited about this. She certainly has a special gift.
I'm sewing again, another thing I just wasn't able to make myself do for months. It sure feels good. I'm working on a special gift for someone's baby but I won't say what it is because she might be reading this.
I'll try to be better with posts in the future.
A lot going on! :) I hope things are going well. Good to see a post!
