Also, some surprise plants are growing from the compost bin and surrounding area. I think one is a roma tomato plant, which is awesome since my other tomato plants are struggling. Another one looks like a cucumber plant which I haven't planted any of those yet so that would be great.

Garden Update
The garden has been good to us so far this year. We're done harvesting the broccoli and are now enjoying the romaine lettuce, zucchini, spinach and beets. The peppers, yukon gold potatoes, corn and carrots are growing well. Sweet potatoes seem to be struggling to get started - they didn't look so good when they arrived via mail order. Also the tomatoes and beens are struggling for some reason. I'm trying to decide whether I should plant another round of broccoli, and maybe mix in some cauliflower.

Trip to Pittsburgh
A few weeks ago we packed up the truck and headed to Pittsburgh on Sue's birthday (April 24) and stayed for a long week-end. Sue and Kate spent a day at Ikea while Steve and I took Max and the girls to the Pittsburgh Zoo. Erin and Caitlin crashed right as we visiting the panda bears and about to leave. Everyone had a great time, though Max skipped the monkey exhibit. He knew how bad it smelled...
Sue bought a nice office desk that we now have installed in the office. It was easy to setup and I really like the look, even though I had to move that VERY HEAVY library, not just once but twice!! Glad that's over...
Here are a couple pictures from the trip...
