I know it's been a while and this is going to seem a little old, but I had computer problems. I had to get a new mother board for my laptop, so I couldn't blog for a while. I never thought being without a computer would be such a hardship until I didn't have one for almost a month. I won't get into all the gory details how I finally got my internet to work once I got my computer back. Matt helped me out a lot when he was home getting my internet up and running. He also helped me go out and rent a rug machine to suck up the excessive water that seeped into the basement, and ultimately into our carpet from the downpours we had for a few days at the end of March. There is more to that story, but since I'm not sure how that's going to get ironed out yet, I'll hold off on the details for now.
It was great to see Matt again and difficult to see him go back to Iraq. But we know it won't be as long until we see him again. I've included a picture of one of the nights Matt, Katie and Casey came over for dinner. We went out and got a dining room table a week or so before Matt came back, so there would be enough room for everyone. It makes the dining room look so much nicer, and more formal.
We had Casey's birthday party today. It was fun time, thought Casey didn't know quite what to make of it. He enjoyed playing with all the new toys, but didn't seem to like getting messy eating his cake. I can't believe he is already one year old. It's all gone so fast, we've had such a great time learning to be grandparents and watching Casey grow into the cutest little boy. How can you argue with the pictures posted here today. We love you Casey!
