It's finally finished! Our new swingset is now in full use. We said goodbye to our old tippy swingset (it found a new home on flat ground at Grandma and Grandpa's house). The kids are LOVING the new swing set - they enjoy having lunch in the "fort" and creating all kinds of imaginative games on and around it. We are looking forward to lots of warm days like today.

As our trip gets ever closer we are trying to plan what to take, who gets to take care of the kids etc. Jake had a bit of a scare last week - his regular rejection tests for his heart came back elevated so he had to go into the hospital for some heavy doses of anti-rejection medication. After another biopsy things seem to have gone back to normal for him. Here's hoping that the tests continue looking good.

Lance and I got to go on a date on Friday! Wahoo! It was fun - we purchased a nice suitcase for the trip, ate dinner (being able to speak in complete sentences with out being interupted!) and saw the movie "Leatherheads" with George Clooney! It was a fun night. We both recommend the movie as a funny, well-written show. You don't have to love football to enjoy it.
Grandma Jeppson is getting pretty close to having her basement bathroom finished and its looking great. If she can just get the repair man to come back and put it all back together she will be set.

Question - is it normal for a 4 year old to know how to flirt? One of JJ's friends, who is 8, came over for a bit today. I was flabbergasted when Hannah put on her "damsel in distress" routine for him. Of course he is too nice to say no when Hannah asks him to do stuff for her that she is perfectly able to do herself! And so it begins . . .

Asher is "digging" playing outside!
