This week has been a wonderful week of visitors. Paige, Eric, and Eric swung by on their way home from spring break to give us a night out on the town. Greg and I had a great time even though the restaurant we went to caught on fire. We were sad to see them go on Sunday. Jen came for a visit on Monday night to help us celebrate St. Patty's day. We spent the evening with the Wrigleys playing a heated game of Cranium (as you can tell from multiple postings-our favorite game). We are thrilled for Melissa Bell to be visiting us tomorrow. Our guest room has already been put to good use and is always open to all family and friends. Greg is thoroughly enjoying his job still. His class took a field trip to put out fires on jets in Norfolk this week. Ironically, Greg burnt his hand badly that day cooking but did a great job firefighting on the jet. His hand is healing quickly and is not deterring him from his everyday activities.

Valdez Clan!

We had a great time visiting Northern Virginia last weekend. We were able to celebrate Grandma Dukes birthday with the family. Greg learned how to install a toilet in the bathroom renovations. We got to spend lots of quality time with the Valdez clan as well. The 3 hour trip was a great change from our usual 18 hour trip to Northern Virginia. Greg has been working hard this week and has been waking up before the sunrise. Ava met her next door neighbor Max (7 months old) and is smitten by him. She just stared at him smiling and giggling. Max's Mom (Kim) and I have decided that we are going to have more weekly play dates. We are looking forward to a visit from Uncle Eric & Paige this weekend.
