I know, I know!

It has been a very long time since my last post. We are loving Austin and are enjoying our time here. It really feels like we have been here forever instead of almost 3 months. We had a great time over the Easter weekend visitng both sides of our family. It is very nice that it is a drive now, not a flight. The boys finish school tomorrow. Benjamin had kinder round up at the first of the month. My little shy boy has disappeared! He talked to everyone there. The highlight of his day was ordering his new school shirt! He will be a buffalo! He has a few friends from his preschool that will be going to school with him, hopefully he will have 1 in his class. Carter will continue next year at the same preschool. Carter still meets new friends everywhere, there are NO strangers to him. They are both in the middle of T-ball. We promised the boys if they can hit the ball over the fence they will get a surprise. Ben has come very close, I will keep you posted.

Update on Jackson - the donor's blood has taken over in his body, this means the transplant is successful. His number are doing great. Please continue to pray against rejection and infection, that is the biggest concern right now. Hopefully they can all 3 go back to their apartment next week as a family. They had a spot on the local Denver news this week talking about their journey and the importance of cord blood donation. If you want to see that clip, go to my facebook page or Jackson's caring bridge page. Please continue to pray for strength for Doug and Mel!

Here are a few pics from our trip to San Antonio. Ryan took a day off of work so we could take the kids to Sea World. I packed up snacks and off we went to find the gates closed. Park doesn't open during the week until next week - a true "Vacation" moment. So we went the day at the Riverwalk. I went on a girl's weekend last weekend and Ryan took the boys to Pedernales State Park.
