Springtime Is Here!

Yay! I love that the weather is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming! I don't always love the yardwork, but I'll deal with it! :) We seem to be busier lately...maybe it's the two committees I have joined at work. I am currently serving on the Mercy Service Team for Labor and Delivery and the Nursing Clinical Council for the hospital. Both seem to be positive and forward moving so I am excited to see what we can accomplish this year! The downside is that I seem to have lots of Tuesday meetings...less time to clean and play with Jack. :(

Jackson is now 10 months old. He is very mobile now, crawling everywhere! He likes to cruise around his crib, but I have found that that seems to be the only area he can cruise. I am going to work on rearranging the furniture to give him more area to walk. He now has 6 teeth and LOVES to use them. We pretty much are only giving him table foods...daddy seems to think that ice cream and cookies are acceptable foods too!

Audrey and Shelby are going to be playing softball this summer, which brings back lots of great memories. Audrey is playing for St. Norbert's in Florissant and Shelby is playing for Concord Baptist in South County. Let's just hope they don't have games on the same day...might be a big haul from one side of the city to the other! The doctor thinks Shelby has asthma and has given her an inhaler. I hope it is just seasonal and will not be too bad over the summer.

Birthday Season for the Birk family is well on its way. Jack is June 15th, Shelby June 29th, and Audrey July 10th. I think we will be having one big party, maybe at a park or something. Audrey didn't have an individual 1st birthday party so keeping with "being fair", which she is SO concerned about, we will not have a separate one for Jack either. Nana suggested the girls each taking a friend to Six Flags for their birthday since we just got season passes.

In addition to Birthday Season, our wedding anniversary is coming too, July 8th. 10 years this year...unbelievable! I can't believe how much our lives have changed in the past 10 years and am excited to see what's next!
