Spring!!

The past week has been Spring Break for Xavier and I. John was not able to get any time off because he is going to Wisconsin at the end of the month, so we hung out at home and had a few day trips around the area.
Monday we were suppose to meet up with Emily and her family in Chattanooga, but her daughter got sick and we had to cancel. Instead I took the kids up to Dahlonega and Cleveland, GA. We went to a gold mine and panned for hold. Then we visited Babyland General were Cabbage Patch kids are made/born.
Tuesday was spent visiting some friends in the Newnan area.
Wednesday we all, even John, went up to Columbia, SC to visit our friends Chuck and Jessica. John is mentoring Chuck while he goes to seminary. We visited the Riverside Zoo and had a great dinner prepared by Jessica.
Thursday brought us to The Center for Puppetry Arts and a nice little park with our good friends Katie and her children Jackson and Frances.
Friday we decided to just lay low and relax at home.
There are 29 days of school left for me once we get back from break. I do have to work the summer program but it's not as hard as the school year. :)

He's starting to get really good at this.
