Hello all!
Last Saturday I went skydiving! It was a part of Mikel's birthday present to me. We went with a friend who had always wanted to do it and her husband arranged it as a part of her birthday present too! We were supposed to have gone on the 4th, but it was way to windy, so they asked us to come back the following Saturday. Well, apparently they don't "schedule" your jump, per se, it's more of a first come first serve type of thing. Unfortunately, a big group of college kids beat us to it and it took over 5 hours for us to be able to jump. But it was worth the wait and it wasn't like we had anything else pressing to do that day. It was sunshiney all day, so we just chilled out and enjoyed the good weather while watching everyone else jump out of a perfectly good airplane! When it came time for me to jump, the only thing I was nervous about was actually getting out of the airplane door. It's a bit nerve racking to step outside of a moving object almost two miles above the ground, but I did it! The free fall took my breath away, literally. The canopy ride was amazing! I'd definitely do it again, as long as I can still have an instructor who knows what they are doing strapped to my back!

The next day was Easter. It was a yucky day, so the Easter egg "hunt" had to be inside. We had a pretty laid back day. We went to church, let D have a quick nap and then went over to Jim and Bridget's for lunch. Tita and Grandpa brought over eggs with Puffs in them and the kids loved them. They also got them cute little Peeps Easter baskets with Nike sandals and summertime PJs. Thanks Tita and Grandpa!
I've also uploaded some random pics of my little guy. He's really walking A LOT and in to EVERYTHING. He finally got over his last double ear infection, although he still has some fluid on the ears. He get tubes on May 7th! Yay!!!!
