Kristen's report card just came in. She has all A's for the second time in a row. She will remain on the Honor Roll at school. We are so proud of her. She put out a lot of effort. To celebrate we took the whole family out to dinner, Kristen's choice. She chose USA Steak Buffet. Then as an extra special surprise we went to Alltel and got her a cell phone again. She is so excited. She had had one earlier in the year but when Eric changed jobs and had to turn in his work cell phone he used hers. It was supposed to be temporary but it didn't turn out that way so now she has a new one. Fingers crossed she's responsible with its use again.

Here we go

We are starting a blog. We have enjoyed having a window into our family's lives through their blogs so we're giving it a try. I am not sure what to say or what to talk about but hopefully we'll get the hang of it. I guess Easter would be a good way to start since that just happened. We went to church in the morning and Alissa went up front during children's time she was her true self and talked and talked, the pastor could hardly get a word in. The Easter bunny visited while we were gone and left the kids all kinds of goodies. Christopher got a fishing pole which we just had to take and show Grandpa Phil. Alissa got and Ariel toy and declared she loves the Easter bunny and had that wonder only a child can have about how the bunny knew just what to get her. Kristen being a little old for the Easter bunny now liked the movie she got, Nancy Drew, but was more subdued about it. They all enjoyed hunting for eggs, well Christopher was a little preoccupied with the candy. We had lunch at Dad's, where they got more candy, and Christoper got to show Grandpa his fishing pole. Then we spent a quiet evening at home.
