Spring is here!

Things are still really busy.  We found out last weekend that my father's sister was really sick and she ended up passing away a week ago today.  So, Clarence and I attended our third funeral in seven days last week.  We are so over funerals.  Period.  It makes my heart hurt to think that both my mother and daddy have lost their brother and sister in such a short amount of time.  I can not imagine losing my parents, and I hope that it is many many years down the road.

The only good thing that has come from all of the sadness in the last couple of weeks is getting to see the family that I don't get to see that often.  It was great seeing my cousin who lives in Chicago.  It was also great getting to see all of my cousins on my daddy's side of the family too. 

After all the funerals, we still haven't had time to slow down and we won't for the next couple of months.  The boys' soccer season started yesterday.  The boys' games started within 30 minutes of each other, so we had to split our time between their two fields.  This year is even more challenging to see both of the games because Isaac has moved up to a bigger field that is on the opposite end of the complex from Alex's field.  However, both of the boys played great yesterday, and it is going to be a great season!
