Spring Happenings

Emmett is still really cute. However, he now weighs in at 55 pounds.

I got to visit with some of my favorite people on this earth last weekend. My BFF's brother graduated from U of A, and we all came to celebrate.

Yes, I took a half-day last Friday to go cheer on Kris Allen as he came home to Conway.
And Ed's Bakery definitely did their part by making Kris cookies!

Our next American Idol!!

My two moms.

Wes and I were also busy the weekend before hosting his Mema. We went to the tea room in Rogers for Saturday lunch.

The rain is finally out of the forecast for the next 7 days, so I'm sure I'll be outside a lot this next week. We are hosting an American Idol party on Wednesday, having an all day 8th grade celebration on Thursday, and heading to Phoenix for Wes' cousin's wedding on Friday. Our busy lives aren't slowing down any time soon, but we are loving all of the things we are doing. There is your Walker update. Next time you hear from me, school may be out for summer!! Wahoo!!

Oh Happy May!

A snapshot of what is up at the moment:
-Emmett, who had a major surgery today during which he lost his manhood, is asleep at my feet.
-I just got home from Table Mesa, a great new restaurant on the Bentonville square, with Bret, Jayme, Molly, Morgan, and MEMA!
-Wes is at rEcess, a monthly nonprofit organization event we help out with on the first Fridays of the month...Wes has done a little more volunteering than me lately. For some reason, important gigs keep coming up on first Fridays, and I have to miss loving on some really neat kids.
-We have only 21 days of school left. Geez!!
-It's May 1st, and the April showers are definitely not over here in northwest Arkansas.
-I LOVE my job...that's not new, but I've really enjoyed it lately. I have to think that it has something to do with Benchmark tests being done with for the year. We are reading the play version of the Diary of Anne Frank, and I love it. It opens up for some awesome discussions.

I know, this wasn't the most exciting post ever to grace thekatebox, but I just wanted to fill you in on what is happening here at the Walker house. I am very happy that is May. My Lonely Planet calendar got flipped today, and now Pakistan is featured for the next 31 days. I'm looking forward to learning a bit more about this very interestingly beautiful country.
Well, I'm going to go move to the couch, Emmett will follow me, and then I'll work on a little Esther study (Beth Moore). Happy Friday, and Oh Happy May!
