Okay, I'm worn out just reading the list! I remember those days though when my children were young. I was a little concerned though and of course missed your work! Congrats on the Prism design team!

"Caught up" is a daunting task, tee hee.
But, I have you beat when it comes to blog hiatus. :p

I have low iron right now and I couldn't even read all that...much less have done it all. I think you should get a week off. Who do I need to talk to about that.

Wow, that was a lot of stuff! You did all that in a month? :) Just reading about it makes me feel tired already. Sounded like a lot of fun too, Easter and birthday celebrations, Spanish lessons, soccer. Such diverse interests. Welcome back!

WOW!!!!! Mrs. Stacey your cards are really cool... I love all the different colors! I scrap to so I'm trying to get really good at it, because it is so much fun! For a good movie... Hmmmm... I would suggest maybe some of the Star Wars movies, thats a BIG favorite around the Storrie house and we loved Bedtime Storys though it did have a few suggestive things in it.
Love, Callie Storrie
