Well now that I have that out of the way let me get on with what the Quinn's have been up to lately. Since my last real update (Christmas) we have welcomed Spring and are so enjoying the warmer weather. Jayci is all over the place now so we try to go to the park as much as we can and she loves being outside. As I have said in the past I am trying to keep this blog separate from the Jayci news so after I finish this post I am going to update the content and layout of her blog so check it out at http://www.jaycimarie.com/.
Easter weekend was one of our bigger events over the past few months and it was a busy and fun weekend. That weekend started a little early with my Mom and Cheryl coming to town on Thursday and we went to the Kids Clothes Connection consignment sale and racked up on Jayci's spring/summer clothes. On Friday I helped Scott in his garden (notice I say "his) and got the fence up and cleaned up a lot of stuff around the garden. It was a hard days work but it looks so good and we already have some vegetables coming up. On Saturday we went to the Easter egg hunt in Opelika with my sister and Molly and then on Sunday we had mine and Scott's family over to our house for Easter lunch and another egg hunt. It was a packed weekend!
This past weekend we headed to my parents house and went to the Renaissance festival with Molly. We have done this a few times but have decided to make it an annual event. Molly loves the medieval times and this is definitely her cup of tea but us older people really enjoy it as well. Each time we go we see new (and interesting) things and people, see some neat shows, and eat wonderful food. We walked our rear ends off so on Sunday we decided to just relax and do a little shopping.
Back to the garden, this is Scott's garden as he has put a lot of work into it! He spent a few days getting the spot where we put it cleaned up, tilled, a fence put up, planted and a system to water it without dragging the hose all over the garden and it looks awesome. I can't wait until we have fresh corn, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, squash and okra and if we are successful then we will be adding more things to the garden next year.
In the midst of all the fun we have had and the work on the garden we have had a couple of events that were thrown at us that weren't so pleasurable or rewarding but we are dealing (still) with them. The first one is our air conditioner decided to die on us and has to be replaced and the other one is our washing machine decided to take a vacation as well! We are having the air conditioner replaced in the next couple of weeks and thank goodness our a/c repairman was able to get our old unit limping along until then so we are staying cool. As for the washing machine, there have been parts ordered and another part that needed some work done on it and we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will be back up and running by this weekend.
I am sure I have left some things out but this post is running a long and I am going to wrap it up.
Love to all and until next time.....
