First Round of Estate Finished

Today I finished the final stage of the packing/giving away to the kids all the Christmas items we received from Ed's parents' estate. It has been a long drawn-out affair. This phase is finally completely finished down to the last ornament. It feels good. Besides what the kids wanted, I am eliminating two very large boxes of items that we will save for Kate's garage sale later this spring.

We stayed up until midnight last night and watched the movie "Angels and Demons." It was a great show and we enjoyed it, even though we paid the price today for such a late bedtime.

I met Kate and Kimball at Target today for Kimball's Easter photos in his new outfit. He looked darling but wasn't too cooperate as he wanted to run around and explore. The pictures came out okay, but we weren't successful in capturing his bright toothy smile.

We went to dinner tonight with two new people who recently moved into our neighborhood. Her name is Cindy, also. I think it is the start of a nice friendship.
