Hello Family

Today is Easter and the family is all over the place. Steve just returned from a trip to Zions National Park and Tyler, Tara and Gem have moved to California and our getting settled and remodeling their home. Chris, Tricia and Colby are also in California and they are spending Easter with Chris because he is working there. We have heard from them and they are all doing great. Steve had a great time and this the first holiday that we did not have kids around. Grandpa and Grandma Joe are in Arizona till April. As for me work is going good it becoming the busy time of the year and Our hospital had a kids day, Saturday March 15th it was a Great day. Dad and Tricia and Colby came and it was great to see them. I had a doctors appointment March 12th and everything is fine. there are a few things that he is keeping a eye on, but nothing major. Well now for some of our plans for the future Dad is going to go to Boston with Steve and they are going to stop in Chicago and Toronto and the Palmyra areas on the way out, were not sure yet how long he is going to stay in Boston when he gets there, probably for about four days. Then over Memorial weekend were going to visit Tyler, Tara and Jem if all goes as planned. Its starting to turn to spring and were starting on our yard work. The daffodils are begging to blossom and so are the Tulips. Dad burned the back ditch and am proud to report that the back pasture behind our house did not burn with it. Dad started to level the backyard were the septic tank was with his lawn tractor. All is good in Hooper hope every one had a great Easter.

Driving is not a cheap past time


Well, it's almost time to head out to Boston. I am so excited and nervous for this move. I am sure it will be a great summer, but I am unsure about my managerial skills. We'll see. I leave in two weeks on Saturday, the fifth of April. Dad is coming with for the drive. (I'm sure he'll be the one driving.) We're planning on hitting Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Buffalo, and Palmyra. So for now I am just trying to do as much training as possible. I am worried about not having my guys ready enough. I did go out to Boston two or three weeks ago to check out the housing, which is good. We went to a Celtics game while out there. I'm not a huge sports fan, but the game was a lot of fun. So I figure with gas averaging 3.30 a gallon I'll be about six hundred dollars just in gas to get to Boston. I took a trip to Zion's this past weekend. My first time there. Derek and Kristen came with, Andy and Julie were supposed to go but backed out an hour before it was time to leave. The trip was fantastic. I can't believe how amazingly beautiful it is down there, and how unbelievably difficult it is to climb up such beauty. These are some of the pictures from the trip and of babysitting Col-Bear. By the way happy birthday to him on Saturday. HAPPY EASTER.
