I have been amazed how many friends have called, e-mailed or dropped by after reading the blog about Lucie, our new puppy. It is so incredible that you all continue to keep up with my progress and our family! I am happy that you enjoy reading the blog and I hope to keep you more updated. Here goes...

Cortney traveled to Gainesville on Tuesday to receive an award for Superior Accomplishmets. He was nominated by the Director of the research center where he works. On Wednesday, the Director of the School of Forest Resources and Conservation visited Ft.Pierce from Gainesville for Cortney's annual review. He is so busy and continues to put his all into his aquaculture endeavors. The same day, Sydney had Focus Day at Maitland Farm, her preschool. Brogan and I attended and had a fun time catching lady bugs, feeding the farm animals, riding trikes, making crafts, looking at the gardens, etc. After focus day the three of us visited Spencer's class to teach a Math Superstars lesson. It was a busy and fun filled day. Upon arriving home in the afternoon we were greated by a massive swarm of bees that were trying to take up residence in our walls. YIKES!!! Thankfully, we have a great entomologist friend who battled the bees and scared (or killed) them away!! Today was school for all three kids in the morning and a grocery trip for me, then kid pick up, lunch and Sydney's gymnastics. Tomorrow TGIF!!!! Sydney, Brogan and I plan to visit Addy, Syd's best friend, mid morning and go swimming. Spencer will have baseball practice at 7pm and then Saturday is clean-up day at his school. Yes, in between it all we are walking Lucie and giving her LOTs of puppy playtime. The kids continue to be over the top about her. I hope to get pictures of Lucie posted soon. We are having slight computer problems with pictures but hope to have it worked out in the near future.

Everyone enjoy the weekend!!!
