Carson's Spring Open House




Carson recently had his Spring Program and Open House at preschool. We've been very please with the school and have already signed him up for next year. At the beginning of the program it was so precious because Carson could not see us in the audience because of the lights. He searched and searched ---wouldn't even sing until he found us. Finally, with our crazy waving he spotted us & then jumped right in. I know these pictures aren't very clear, but you can at least get the idea. After the program we went to his room where Carson showed off all that he is learning & doing. We were so proud!

The Bain's Trek to Texas





The boys & I were so fortunate to have John, Karen, Adam, and his fiance' Amy come for a visit at the end of March. We got to do so many fun things we had been wanting to do. It was great to experience lots of new sights together. Their visit started out with dinner & a show at Medieval Times, in Dallas. It was right up Carson's alley with jousting, knights, swords, horses, loud cheering and of course "bad guys." Carson is still talking about it. He is also still talking about all the creatures we saw at the Fort Worth Zoo. Most of us had only been to the Indianapolis Zoo & were all very impressed with Fort Worth's. More snakes and primates than I've seen in my life.

Karen, Amy, and I had to do a bit of shopping, of course. I was so happy to have some female shopping companions. The boys don't always enjoy my love for shopping. I know some of you are noticing... yes, soon there will be two Amy Bain's in our family. I've told everyone I don't want to be called "Old Amy" or "Big Amy." I'm still not sure how we're going to work that out. We are very excited to have Amy join the family. She is so sweet and loves the kids. We're looking forward to their June wedding.

One evening we visited "Leapin' Lizards." Grandma Bain is so good at wearing out the boys on the bounce houses- or is that the other way around? Chris and I are still laughing about our bounce house dual against Adam and Amy. We rounded out that night with a great steak dinner at the Fort Worth Stockyards. Yum!

The boys and I were sad to see them leave, but sooo enjoyed their visit.
