I got TJ's ring this weekend and wrapped it into bigger boxes so he wouldn't be such a smart ass and knowing what I got him. I told him it was Sherry's birthday present. It has his name on it however, so he might know it's for him from us. He got Tatyana an Easter dress and it was size 6, which is too big, so I took it back and exchanged it for the right size. It is cute and she will be able to wear it to school or church if she likes.

Got her bike fixed and training wheels off, but she is having trouble yet. She rode Jonny's easier because his is taller. She did balance with my assistance, she just doesn't trust herself yet. I will be putting the old ones back on her bike and let her ride it like crazy to get used to it again. It's been a while since I've let her ride, and when I take my walks in the evening, she can ride along with me up the hill and down the other side. The block I walk around is up hill and extra long. Last night I made 5 laps in 30 minutes. I felt good when I was done. I just needed some time alone and went by myself right after dinner. I think every other night I will take her with me. She slows me way down, she's tired, her legs hurt, she is thursty, she wants to rest. TJ won't walk with her because he does it all day at work, but I will. Good exercise, burn some energy and time together just her and I. The bike will be even better, she will get used to it and we can take the training wheels off again soon. Summer is coming slowly and I can hardly wait.

I'm sorry about Jen and her weekend. I wish he would quit hurting her over and over. Sounds like Eric has the same theory....Loved the pictures of Kayla.

We went to the park this weekend and had a great time. I got a lot done yesterday and today I'm tired for it. I'm making pork chops (thin cut), alfredo noodles with mushrooms, corn and for Tatyana apple slices with Carmel dipping sauce. We are also watching the Lost from last week, and we have the second part of the mini series we've not watched yet.
