OK - I just totally fell down my stairs. I'm okay - but I bet I'll hurt somewhere tomorrow. I was just so excited to blog, I guess! Anyway - just a quick entry to go along with the pictures from the half-marathon.

April has absolutely disappeared. I have been traveling the last 3 weekends, and though I have enjoyed each trip, I am happy to be home for a while. Dave has to take off again this Friday for a scout Camporee which will keep him away until Saturday night - he doesn't get a break. I think he goes to LA the next weekend for CE, too.

The trip to Sacramento was a blur, but it was well worth it. I hesitate to say it was 'fun', but to be honest, it was. I am very glad that we were able to be there as a family - the services were very nice and all the shared memories and musical numbers were touching. Thanks to Kenn & Barb for making it possible for so many to be there. Again, I would love a copy of those written memories that Daryl shared.

I spent a lot of time in the car this month with the kids...and they crack me up. Here is just a sampling of some of the things they said on the road...

Parker: Mom, what is an Adult Shop?
Taylor: How much more miles, Mom?
Morgan: Don't look out my window! Mom - he's looking out my window!
Parker: I can't feel my leg.
Isaac & Taylor: (22 minutes after I pulled over to catch a 20-minute cat nap) Should we wake her? It's been 22 minutes!
Morgan: (While watching Indiana Jones, and just before the scene where he tells the girl where he doesn't hurt, so she can kiss him there) Ooooh - this is my favorite part!
Isaac: Parker, you'd better get your seat belt on, or we will crash and you will die.

All in all, they are awesome travelers and I still love road trips - even after 3 in a row!

Well - back to the grind. It was good to see everyone - although we missed the Bavarian Stinchfields. Take care.
