What is going on?

It has been such a busy couple of weeks. This time of year is always so very busy for the 2 of us. My hubby and I are both teachers and school is winding down. We are looking forward to the summer and I hopefully will be able to update the blog a little more frequently! Here is what has been going on with us (other than working).......

My brother is in an amazing band....Twin Thunder. They just released a new CD. A couple of weekends ago his band was playing in a little town right out of Nashville. Hubby and I decided we really wanted to go see them play. Any excuse for a road trip. I LOVE road trips. They are always so much fun. We left early Saturday morning and made a few stops on the way to the hotel (mainly for outlet shopping and boiled peanuts, hubby's favorite). We had talked about going into Nashville and spending the day, but spending the afternoon taking a nap sounded better to us since we are getting old and we can't stay up late anymore without a nap. How terrible does that sound..... Well, my brother and his wife showed up a couple of hours later and we went to dinner and off the the bar to see his band play. Since this was the first time I had seen them live (I have heard them in my parents basement for several years) I didn't know what to expect, but they were AMAZING. I was soooooo very proud of him. We had so much fun together. When we got back the next week my sister emailed me an article that was in Performer Magazine about Twin Thunder's debut album.

This is one of the pictures from our ride back. Sorry. I forgot to take pictures there. I am terrible about remembering to take pictures.

After our trip I was SO ready to get back and see the little ones. I missed them like crazy. It was the longest I had been away without either one of them.

This past week not a whole lot of stuff went on around here. On Thursday we went to Pappy's softball game and had dinner at Dairy Queen. Miss Boss and Captain Drools' both LOVE ice cream.


On Saturday we went to Home Depot. Miss Boss and Captain Drools LOVE riding in the shopping carts there.We have also been very fortunate to spend sometime with our neices. Miss Boss just loves playing with them. They always entertain each other so well.

Love that new header! I want to hear your brother's band some time. I can just picture him as a rock star. He was really into Lynard Skynard the last time that I saw him. Eight years ago. :o)

And I hear that your other brother is planting a church these days. It's so weird that we're all grown up.
