BITS -N- PIECES VOL. 3

The Detroit Tigers opened their season on April 5^th here at home. In showing ourTiger spirit here in the Williams household, I bought the boys new shirts for the summer. Here they are waiting for the game to start….even though they have no clue! It was too cute not to post. The Tigers ended up winning their home opener and are off to a pretty good start this season. Go Tigers!!

We took the boys to the Zoo on April 6^th. It was a nice day out and the week ahead was going to be chilly and rainy so we decided last minute to take advantage and do something fun. They had a pretty nice time and since the weather was cool, a lot of the animals were out that we usually miss during the hot days of summer. We got to see the Lions, the Polar Bears, the Grizzly Bear, Giraffes, Gorillas, Zebras and many more.

We celebrated Easter with my family on Saturday April 7^th up in Frankenmuth, MI. I mentioned in a previous post that Frankenmuth is a little German town about an hour north of us. It was a beautiful day so we got to walk around a bit before and after dinner. We even got to see an old friend of ours; Mason the horse. Mason was the horse that pulled our carriage when Eric proposed to me. We haven’t seen him in 7 years and he was working that day so we got to see him and get our picture taken with him just like we did back then.

Grandma wanted to keep the boys overnight for us this week, so Eric and I had a full 24 hours without the kids. That’s the longest we’ve been away from them since they came home 18 months ago. The last time we had a night away was in October so this was much needed and very much appreciated. We got to go out to dinner and a movie and didn’t have to hurry home to pick the kids up. We even got to sleep in a little which was really weird! The house was so quiet. They behaved like angels of course and weren’t all that excited to see us….what’s that about?

Alex saw the Physiatrist this week and we have decided after this appointment that we are ready to try someone different. There is another Doctor in the area that we are going to try and see what he has to say. Our current Doctor makes us wait an hour in the waiting room and then rushes through the appointment and we always leave confused. It shouldn't be that way. Alex is what matters and we have to make some changes that will suit him better.
