Caribbean & other happenings

It's been a busy couple of weeks. I'm finishing up with school. I only have 3 more classes to go before I'm done and then don't have to think about it again until the fall!! Yippee. The class is on violence and genocide. It has totally been a personal learning experience for me and a very emotional one at that.

Gabe started playing Tball. That is where you bat the ball from a long tube that stands upright on the ground. The day of his opening game was overcast, but the rain held off and he was able to get his first game in. He looks so cute in his uniform. Matthew is helping to coach. I will let you know when I have pictures up of Gabe in his uniform or check my Picasa photo page from time to time.
On April 16, Rhianna had Grandparents' Day at her school. She was the only one who had both sets of grandparents there. We got to watch her interact in class and saw an abbreviated school day in the life of Rhianna.
Emily is growing so big. She will be 2 in July.
Don and Sarah are busy with yardwork and getting flowers planted now that spring is here. Sarah is so meticulous with her flower planting. She takes after her Grandma Clepper, certainly NOT me! Her flowers always look so beautiful. I will have to take some pictures of them and post them for you to see.
The Caribbean
As some of you might already know ~ Dan and I recently took our FIRST Caribbean cruise on March 30. We went with Cristal, Skip, and their son, Derrick. The cruise included visits to Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas.
Dan and I really had a great time and it's a memory that will last a long time. Each day we were up by 7ish and to breakfast by 8. The food was outstanding. If you went hungry it was your own fault.
The weather was great. It only rained twice and that was while we were at sea and late in the afternoon. Dan went snorkeling in Aruba and the two of us jet skied in St. Maarten. Both events were fun. We got to see shows on the ship and for Derrick's birthday we went to a club ~ it was 80s music night, which reminded us of when we use to go to Wanda's (a club in Mechanicsburg, PA).
As I said, Dan and I did have a great time. The only thing we didn't like was not enough time on the islands.
I loaded our Caribbean pictures on Picasa, so check them out when you have a chance. Feedback here or on Picasa is welcomed.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and to read my blog. If you want to read more about what I'm doing check out my history blog.
