Rest At Retirement???


Hi to everyone. I just got a minute so I thought I would update those who want to know about our goings on.
I didn't say much about our Easter. We took the kids to "Explora" in Albuquerque. It is like a hands on science museum. We had alot of fun there. I had never been, but Philip and the kids went there last year. It is a pretty cool place. Then, right across the street from that is the "Natural History" museum, so we also went there. Also a cool place. All in all it was a fun day.
Our lives are quite busy with everything happening on the same day it seems. Today, the kids had a M.E.S.A meeting until 4:20, then soccer from 4:30 until 6:00, and then Meganne had to be at a rehersal for an orchestra festival from 6:00 to 7:00. Tomorrow, they will have another M.E.S.A meeting, then a soccer game at 6:00. Wednesday, they have soccer from 4:30 til 6:00 and young womens from 6:45 til 8:00. Thursday, another soccer game at 3:30 and Friday Meganne has another orchestra rehearsal and Saturday another soccer game. Sunday we will get ready to go out of town to Albuquerque for the M.E.S.A compitition..be gone Monday and Tuesday. Get home Tuesday night, recover from that and head to Las Cruces Friday and Saturday for Nikole's Battle of the Books compitition.
On Monday, Meganne is supposed to participate in her orchestra festival, plus the kids will also be missing a soccer game that day too. One of the teachers said that it is stuff like this that should make the argument in favor of cloning...how do we get them everywhere at once? We don't, we have them chose what they want to do and tell the others sorry..what else can we do.
Also on Monday (yes, the same one, the 27th) Philip has a chance to go caving. There is a cave called "Fort Stanton Cave" that he has been down in. There are tours that people can go on probably 4-5 times a year to this one. At the bottom (end) of the cave where not many people are permitted to go is a place called "Snowy River". It is basically a bed of white gypsum that looks like a river of snow. It is a very protected place that you can only go to by special invitation, and he got the invitation. It is so protected that when you get down there, before you go to the river, you have to change into a clean outfit and put on cover-alls and non-skid shoes with protectors over them. It is an amazing opportunity for him.
So, there is our life right now. If I go a while without catching this up, please understand. Also, if it is a while between phone calls, please also forgive me. I try to keep up.
Oh yea, school is going good...so far an A in class and a B in lab but only because I need to do a few more of the exercises and then it will be an A. Test on Thursday that might change all that, but we won't go there yet.
So, that is all for now. Thanks for reading and I will try and update after the compititions and let you know how we did. Until then, love to everyone.

  1. No fair! I want to go to the snowy river in the cave. White gypsum sounds cool.
    Congratulations on the A's!

  2. Philip says (no offense) but you can't go down in the cave right now because you have to crawl on your belly through some of the passages. Probably not a good "pregnant with twins" activity.
