Our neighbors adopted the most georgous 18 month old little boy. She's a Dr. He's an investment counsuler, they said absolutely NO gifts, they needed nothing, So I made them a fancy little coupon book for 3 nites of free babysitting (I would do it more) our house or theirs if they needed a Mom and Dad night out-they have no other kids-so its a bit life changing for them. Im really hoping they take me up on it!!
Really other than all the medical hoo-haw Ive been going thru. Absolutely nothing happening here. SSDD, but at least the snow is melting and its getting warmer!! Yeah for hot weather!

Our lake house is coming along. They've done most of the framing and the roof will go up sometime next week.
Jam is thinking that if she doesn't get the paid position at U of Colorado, then she'll stay in Chicago and buy a house. Every day she sends me links to cute little overpriced things for sale in Chicagoland.
Son just returned from a trip to Sicily over spring break. He and a friend (female) went to visit her best friend from HS. She's married to a guy who is in the Navy and is stationed at the Navy Air Base on Sicily. The plan was to fly there and stay on base with them for a week, taking little day trips and visiting. The hostess fell and hurt her ankle so after a few days, the son and his friend (female) took a train to Rome, toured the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, went to the Coliseum, ate fabulous food, took a train down to Naples and then a ferry to Capri, then took a train back to Sicily. They were supposed to fly home on Saturday but all four people in the house overslept and they missed their flight from Sicily to Rome, which of course made them miss their flight from Rome to Philadelphia. Next flight out of Rome to Philly was the next day, so they had to check into a hotel. They then took a horse and buggy ride through the city, took in a few museums and eventually caught the plane the next day and got home Sunday night. They're kind of ticked at their hostess and her husband for not waking them up in time for the plane. They were in the only room with an alarm clock. But the son and his friend (female) had a great time and they are now not really "son and friend (female)" but "son and girlfriend".
Husband has his best friend (male) here for 4 days. They're playing pool, golf, and having a good time. I like this because I don't have to entertain anyone but I do get included in the dinner at the restaurant every night. Good deal.
Oldest daughter asked if we can come up to Ohio in June for a week and take care of both kids while she is in CA and her husband is in Spain. Geez. She is the Alumni Advisor for the Delta Gamma chapter over at Kent State and every year they send her to the Sorority's convention. Last year she went to Dallas. This year, it's L.A. Her husband is going on some kind of Jesuit Retreat to Spain through the school he works in. I guess the only way they could be luckier is if they got to go on these trips together!
I got my haircut today and sadly, it was not the haircut that takes 50 pounds off of your face. Is there a haircut like that?

Not too much! We are all moved back into our house after the power outage/snow storm and everything is pretty much back to normal!
Alli had her 18 month checkup today and is doing great! Her doctor said her language skills are on par with a 2 to 2.5 year old, so I was pretty proud of that! :)
