Springing into Spring...

We had a wonderful Easter...Johnny our friend Dave came & spent time with us. Johnny was so tired, he worked the night shift and didn't get off until 7am. We were so happy to see him. The girls were so excited to show off the new addition to the Heschl clan...2 guinea pigs. I know, we must be nuts to have more animals in the house, but the girls wanted them so bad and so of course we gave in & the Easter Bunny surprised them. They are the cutest little things. We love the Spring! The girls had so much energy to let out and we are itching to do outside activities. I must say though I can't wait until I start planting some flowers to make our house look pretty. I love seeing the leaves appear on the trees & bushes out our windows. I ma excites about spring cleaning. Although I clean everyday and always reorganizing (I don't like clutter & a dirty house), I always find something that needs to be done. Oh, and laundry is never ending!!! The girls are even into helping out. Daddy promised them allowance every week for helping out. Mark went out yesterday to to replace a part in the lawn mower and come to find out that the mower is shot!!!! Not very happy and now we are not sure if we should replace it with a new mower or find a cheap landscaper! We only had the darn thing for 2 summers. I finally got my DPW license for the daycare. It took forever! Daycare is going good and I am having more photo shoots here & there. Mark would love to find a new job with more money. The problem is we have really great health insurance and we need that now with Mark's medication & with the girls asthma. We will see what lies ahead. We will be positive! My Mommom is doing ok. She is back in the nursing home. We went to see her this pass Friday and she was talking to us and recognized us. We were thrilled that she remembered! Her dementia is in & out. So she will talk about things that happened along time ago. She looked really good and she seemed to be feeling better too. My mother in law is doing better too. She broke her hip about month or so ago. We saw her as well on Friday and was so good to see her. The girls love playing with her dog "Tank". That dog will lick you to death. Pictures of the girls were taken in my mother in laws backyard. I love these photos...Spring has arrived!!!!!
