A new family member

Holly and I would like to introduce you to our newest family member, Lorelai, born to Alicia on April 17 She entered this world as a 7.3 pound little bundle. Mommy and baby are well.

Classes are rapidly coming to a close for this semester but two other classes are about to start for Roger - one class on classroom behavioral management and another class on philosophy of education. Amy also finishes up one college class and immediately takes three other classes. She is also exploring the possibilility of volunteering at a Christian camp this summer.

On May 7-8 we travel to Greenville, S.C. with the boys for an appointment with the orthopedic department of Shriners Hospital. Lord willing, they should give us both an official diagnosis and prognosis of Steven's condition. Once we have this information we will be able to figure out the best way to meet his needs.

Our summer plans are uncertain but there may be a trip to New York in the future. Of course there will be multiple trips to Smith Mountain Lake where we hope to do a lot of kayaking. We would love to explore some wonderful local rivers right in our neighborhood.

Holly's garden looks beautiful! Green and growing! Though we have had an abundance of rain this week, the garden plot is draining well, thank the Lord.

Jobs are still pretty elusive but God knows best and will take care of our needs.

We hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
