We're back!!!

I guess it has been long enough since I updated. As most of you that check this know, I had a miscarriage last month. We are recovering from that and getting excited about trying again. At lease we know that we can get pregnant.
I guess it is also blessing that things happened the way it did as some interesting opportunities have come up recently.
I was asked to help with our 6th grade orientation program called "WEB." So I will be very busy before school starts training 8th graders to give the 6th grade orientation. I had a wonderful training for the program at Lakeway Inn before Spring Break (lots of wonderful food, snacks and a huge flat screen TV in the room).
The Muffolettos came to visit for Spring Break and helped to reorganize and redecorate our office/craft room. It looks very cool and I hope to get some pictures and post them in the near future. My sister and brother-in-law are so awesome! I can't wait for Jamie and Marie to return this summer so we can get the other room painted and decorated (maybe some help in the rest of the house??!)!
We are hoping that my dad is still in Egypt this summer and Eddie and I might decide to take a trip to visit him. I am trying to not get too excited...this would be such a trip of a lifetime for me. It is one of those places in the world that I have always wanted to go (got the Greece thing out of the way a few years ago). It would be so neat to experience this with my husband! (so, dad, hope you stay, even if you're not hip on the new management--- I'm being selfish!)
Eddie has been spending a lot of time working in the yard. He has been trying to get rid of weeds and grass from areas that we neglected. He has been doing such a wonderful job!! It is looking great.
For anyone that sent Eddie money for his birthday, it went toward a new tree in our backyard. We got a burr oak. As soon as it starts to leaf out, I will take pictures and post.
Someone told Eddie this week that they have seen the hummingbirds, so we are going to have to start boiling some water and get our feeders out. Again, as soon as we get them I will take pictures and post.
Well, I really need to start grading some papers and get ready for another day. Not too long before the end of the school year!!
love to everyone
carmen and eddie
