Thoughts for the day.....

I've just been glancing through this blog and I am shocked to realize that I haven't read a book since October (Eat, Pray, Love)! I usually only read during the school breaks but apparently I have been busy. I guess I'll have to get to it!
My parents left to go back to Rochester, NY today. I am really going to miss them. It was nice to have them here after such a long time. They haven't come for a visit in like 4 years and we haven't been back since summer 2005! We speak often but its not the same. They promise to be back next spring. I really hope so.

FYI:
Rob is participating in the Ironman Arizona Triathlon again on Sunday 4/13/08. His race starts with a 2.4 mile swim at 7:00 am, then a 112 mile bike ride and lastly a 26.2 mile run. Lat year he finished the race in 14 hours 49 minutes (9:49 pm). If you would like to track him live throughout the day go to http://www.ironman.com/ and click the IronmanLive tab in the upper right corner. We will be staying at a downtown Tempe hotel during the race. So while Rob is out racing we can go back to the room for a nap or a movie. :)

Go Suns!

Spring Break

We had a great spring break this year. My nephew Alex plays baseball for SUNY Cortland and played in a 8-game tournament here. We went to every game but one, of course he went 3 for 4 wth 5 RBI's in that game.

My parents also came to stay with us for about a month. We had a great time! The weather was great and my Dad got out to play golf several times. We made a trip up to Strawberry, AZ to friends of my parents who have a goat and llama ranch. We even tried goat-milk fudge (pretty good!)

Our pool temperature is already at about 78 degrees so Jake had fun swimming and catching a sun burn for a few days. The adults are holding out for warmer water.

Mom and Dad are leaving tomorrow and we will really miss them . They promise to come back next year so we have that to look forward to.
