Happy Easter

-

Happy Easter everyone. We celebrated our Easter in Tucson this weekend. Michael had booked us a suite at the Westin La Paloma for my birthday and it happened to fall on this weekend. We drove down on Friday and came back on Sunday.
On Friday we drove around and checked out the campus area. We had snacks and a beer at Frog and Firkin and then walked around the theatre building. It was really odd for me to be tooling around campus with my Children! I couldn't seem to reconcile the past and the present. It made me realize how happy I am with where I am in my life right now and how much I don't really want to go back to school. I love theatre and performing, but I don't miss the stress and the pressure and the judging.
On Saturday morning we drove through Gate's Pass and the gorgeous Saguaro National Park. We stopped at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and had a great time. We saw a mountain lion through a plastic window less than a foot away. We also saw a hummingbird sitting in its nest. We had lunch at El Charro restaurant and then drove back up to the resort. That afternoon Davis went into the daycare there, Michael kept Sam and Marchelle and I headed for the pool for some sunbathing and chatting. Then that night Michael and I had a dinner date in the room with room-service and an in-room movie.
Sunday we had a beautiful Easter brunch at the resort. We all had our photo taken with the Easter bunny and it was our first family photo without Sam being bundled in the sling. Michael is going to scan it in on Friday and I will post it then.
It was a lovely weekend and it was nice to get to visit Tucson again. The weather was low to mid eighties and all the cactus was in bloom. This is a nice time in Arizona.
I missed getting to do Easter with my family at my parent's house, but we heard this morning that they are going to come visit one more time so we are very excited. I hope you all had a great weekend as well and we can't wait to see you. Five more weeks left! Love, Amber

New Roof

-

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
