time flies when you're having fun

To say that this spring has been busy would be an understatement. We have been running around non-stop. What have we been doing? Well, we went on such an amazing mission trip to Memphis over spring break and had such a great time with the students we took, as well as with the kids in the community there. Surprisingly enough, I didn't take any of the small children home with me, not even the five month old little guy I held for as long as I could, but I sure was tempted to bring one home! I loved them all! After Memphis, it was crunch time for Tyler's last semester of school and lots of showers to help out with for me. Easter came before we knew it and next up was Maddox's first birthday! It was such a fun day and even though Maddox had pneumonia, he had a great day! He is such a big boy and I love every moment I spend with him! As of today, Tyler is done with all his undergraduate work. He graduates this upcoming Saturday morning! I am so proud of him. He has worked extremely hard and has been so dedicated to all of his classes over the last two years! He is a great student, but he is excited for the break that he is about to have. Now begins the fun of looking at and praying about masters programs/seminaries. I think he would study the rest of his life if he could. The next two weeks are going to be all about celebrating his graduation and 25th birthday on May 10th. I will post pictures later! We are excited for the time we are in right now and looking forward to what is to come, including the birth of our 2nd nephew, Jude, and our 3rd wedding anniversary, as well as slowing down a little to enjoy the summer!!
