News on the Wallace Home Front:

Not much.

I have had this very irritating cough for the last two weeks - and last weekend I was very fortunate to have the flu.  Luckily the rest of the family hasn't shown any signs of coming down with the same.

We had Gracie's fifth birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's last Thursday - I don't know if I'll do that again!  It was convenient for the mess part, but I felt bad for the kids and parents because everyone was pretty much on their own!  I tried to make sure Gracie played a little with each of her guests, but talk about chaos!!  Gracie had a great time though, so I guess that made it a success!

The weekdays still seem to fly by so quickly.  Mike works late two days of the week and has a men's study on two other days, so needless to say, my nights are hectic.  

That's all I have time for at this moment!....Mike just called and is on his way home from work...now we are going to go on a family outing to Costco!!  

Oops!

Okay, I realize there is no excuse for not posting in over a month!  Life has been a bit crazy lately!  And since the weather has been so agreeable we find ourselves out and about much more -especially considering the time change and longer sunshine! The kids want nothing else than to be outside playing tag and going on walks around the neighborhood.  

During the last month we have enjoyed a few "adventures".  Mike and I attended the Modest Mouse Concert at the Fox Theatre in Visalia.  Most have no idea what or who this is - so just to put your mind at ease, Modest Mouse is quite a famous Indie-Rock band...And it was very unusual they would find their way to Visalia!

We went on a family camping trip to Morro Bay!...My most favorite place to be!  Gracie, our little Mermaid, loves the beach just like her Momma!  Jacob, on the other hand, has a few issues he'll need to work out!  He hates sand on his feet, thinks the water is way too cold, and when walking on the sand (against his will), will not step on anybody's footprints!  He had to find his own path on undisturbed sand.  It was entertaining watching him think this one out as he planned his path!

 

We've taken a few drives to Three Rivers to enjoy the spring flowers and green landscape.  And of course, Reimer's ice cream!

So, it's been the beginning of a very nice spring!  Gracie and I are now trying to figure out what kind of party we want to have for her 5th birthday!
