Nephew on the way!!

We are heading to Beaumont tomorrow; Richard's sister Kim is being induced in the morning. Please pray for her labor and delivery because this is her first and I think she is just a little nervous :) Her husband is just a lot nervous :)

Anyways, I will be out for a few days. I shall return with some pics of my new nephew Brody.

The Little Man Skiing

Here are some late pictures of Matt's first experience with skiing in Glenwood. He took a lesson by himself with an instructor and then skied with us. According to his instructor, he was a natural. She said if she could of had one more lesson, he could of followed us down the mountain. That seems insane to me - my three year old following me at semi high speeds down a mountain by himself. While he skied with Rich he would say "faster Daddy faster!" He was very cute and had a great time. Enjoy the pictures.



All dressed up and ready to go. I wish you could have seen him walk in his boots; he looked like a robot. Look how tiny his skies are!

This is how they skied down the mountain, in the wedge! Poor Rich, he was feeling it the next day.I love the helmet and goggles. I took this on the lift.



Woo-hoo! We survived our first trip down the mountain together.

Designed to Sell

Wow. You guys are so sweet and your comments overwhelm me. I am so blessed to have such sweet friends and family.

On a lighter note, I feel like I am living an episode of HGTV's "Designed to Sell". The past two days have been spent getting our house ready to sell. I have thinned, packed, cleaned, weeded, planted flowers, and mulched. Richard has done the same along with finishing our garage door. The difference between us and the show is that we do not have a perky host.

We are pooped. Poor Matthew has had to fend for himself. I think the Easter bunny needs to be very good to him :)

If anyone has any selling tips, please share.

News

Well the Lewis's have big news.

I would drag this out for a couple of days but since so many of you know, I guess I'll get right to it.

After ten years, we are moving. Richard has taken a new job and we will move at the end of the school year. Our new home will be about an hour from B-town on the east side of Houston.

Yes, we will officially live in south-east Texas.

The move is very bittersweet. This is a great professional opportunity for Richard because he is going to be the head guy at a brand new school. We get to embark on a brand new adventure and live closer to family. However, we have to leave all of our friends and awesome church; this is the part that always makes me wail. I know that we will make new friends and find a new church but you guys have no idea how valuable each of you are in our lives (and Matt's). Well, I am going to stop here because I can feel myself getting emotional.

By the way, I think my posting will be more regular because Richard is bringing his computer home for me to use. Our resident student computer genius is working on mine.

Ski Monster

Tonight is our last night in Glenwood Springs, CO. The students head home tomorrow and we are going back to Montrose for a few days with the Rettigs.

We have had an awesome time. The highlight had to be watching Matt take ski lessons and skiing with Daddy. I like to think he is a natural (takes after his mom, j/k). Matt's only comment about skiing was "faster daddy faster!" Needless to say he loved it.

When we get home I will tell you more.

Where am I?

I am in the beautiful state of Colorado. I will be skiing and playing in the snow with our friends the Rettigs and the band students. We will be back home next Saturday.
