FAMILY Alexander turned 8 on April 29th. He had a party at home with the family. TRAVEL Alan and Sarah survived their trip back to Indiana over spring break. This was the first time they've flown alone and it started out with a cancelled flight and change of airport in mid-trip. They took it all in stride as if they were seasoned travelers. They got to visit with most of their relatives and got some shopping time too. Angela and Dean are still on track to go to the Yucatan Peninsula from June 30th through July 9th.

HEADLINES G R A D U A T I O N T I M E Alan has received his announcements and cap and gown. There's only a little over a month's time before graduation. I sometimes find it hard to believe that time has passed so quickly. Other times, I wonder what's taking so long...? Of course, since he was advanced a grade, he is graduating a year early, so I guess I should wait a another year before I start complaining about how old I'm getting...

EVENTS Everyone gathered at Angie's house this year for a big easter egg hunt. Over 150 surprise filled eggs were cunningly hidden around the property. Prizes were awarded for the most eggs found and for the finder of the golden egg and rotten egg. HEALTH UPDATE Everyone is well at the moment. Dean recently opted out of an experimental migraine drug testing program because he wasn't noticing any benefit from the medication. He goes back in May to try something different. SITE NEWS Our web server got a memory boost a couple of weeks ago. We now have 256MB of PC-133/CAS2 RAM from Crucial. Dean has spent most of the last month adding content to his movie section of the website. He has movie news, box office statistics and over 300 movie posters. Alan's website is apparently not working anymore. It's located on a free hosting server somewhere. I'll leave the link until I find out what's up.
