Lizzie came to town on Thursday, and it has been a real joy to see her.

Friday night was Jordan's belt test in karate. She is going to the same school as Beth and Lizzy went to, although it is at a different location. She does very well, and enjoys it alot.

She is very serious, okay, as serious as a 5 year old can be, and she tries very hard.

On Saturday, we all went to Melvern for the 100th Sunflower Days parade and Fair. It was fun. Josh, Bath, and Noah came down also.

Here's Great Grandma Hagen with Noah.

Here's Dad Marching. His shoe blew out on him, so he had to limp through the parade.

Here's Jordan, mid-parade, after trying to get 100 infinity Tottsie Rolls in her mouth.

Here's Lizzy, Noah and Jordan.

Here's Noah, just enjoying the sirens and all the attention.

Josh, Jordan, and Kim, patiently waiting for the big parade to start.

It was a great weekend, and the kids rode a few rides, and ate crap food.

Hallelujah! I finally went to work for the first time in 49 weeks today! I am with a staffing agency, however, it is a temp to perm work, so in 90 days I should be a full fledged member of Talley Communications. They are a distributor of cable and communication products. They have 5 other distribution centers spread out across the States. A small family owned company, based out of California, that seems to have found thier niche in the market, and hopefully, will be around for a few years, so that I can stay working.

Anyways, today was the first day, and I learned how to run thier UPS/Fed-Ex shipping computer. I'll probably not remember anything I learned today, but I'm sure that it will be easy enough in a few days.

With that aside, Lizzy is here for her spring break, and although, with my work, I won't get to see her a whole lot, i have really enjoyed seeing her and her smile. Here she is feeding Noah a bottle. Noah seems quite enamored with her, and she does very well with him.

Noah is now scootching across the floor, and I imagine in a few weeks, he will be crawling like nobodies business! Here's a few pics of his hat collection.

Kim and Jordan are doing well, and Kim is hoping to find work soon in her chosen field. I think she is tired of school, but she still gets her homework done and does a fine job of raising her daughter.

Love to all.
