Where have you been?

Wow, I know it's been awhile, but bringing you up to speed from Mother's Day weekend will be a trick...here goes:
  • Robin got a new iPod Nano for Mother's Day - soooooo cool, how did I ever live without?
  • Robin got Strep Throat on Monday after Mother's Day - oh how I could live without!
  • Matthew got two loose teeth for Mother's Day (and now one more!) - I hope the tooth fairy travels as I have a feeling Matthew will loose at least one on vacation.
  • Matthew and Andrew have been playing baseball like crazy! Some weeks we have had 6 games plus practice thanks to rain outs. Luckily, Matthew's ended yesterday and Andrew's ends Tuesday. We are celebrating with a parent/kid kickball game for one team and a pool party for the other.
  • Combine that with Mark's hockey schedule and Robin's projects at work and it has been quite hectic but it's all good.
  • We celebrated Mark's birthday with a whirlwind trip (15 hours to be exact) to Luray, VA to see the caverns and the zoo. How awesome can you get when there is a Tastee Freeze across the street from the hotel? We made it back in time to get Mark to hockey and Matthew to his ball game (although it was rained out 1/2 hour before start time). Mark got new hockey skates, cards, and other gifts.
  • Andrew celebrated his birthday at home with McDonald's for dinner (his request), gifts, strawberries and cream cake, and what else? Baseball. Andrew called a do-over birthday out of exhaustion, but yesterday he decided that a do-over wasn't necessary. We went to see Kung Fu Panda and spent the evening at the pool - good enough!
  • Robin's group at work passed the American College of Surgeons Oncology Program Consultant Survey last Thursday so we are on to the final survey in the fall!
  • Matthew and Andrew finished school on Friday and are off for the summer!

Now we are gearing up for Father's Day and vacation - Yay!
