April Goodson Family Blog 2010

Sorry the blog is so late this month...what can I say other than retirement can be very busy. I'm starting with my family this time. We have all been busy. Roger is feeling better but still not 100% yet. We are seeing a new doctor next week as ours is retiring. I just finished another photography class. Chris has been busy with school. Becky just finished organizing and running the Rotary Auction cafe. During Easter week we took time out to go to the NC Zoo. Lily had a great time and was so good. She is now walking and exploring the world. She loves to be outside.

From Krista

On March 20th Krista was inducted into the National Nurses Honor Society. See photos below. On March 25th Miles performed in a PTO Spring Program at Catawba Springs. 29 days until Krista's graduation.......YAY!

Dale sends us this...

The Dale Harris family had an opportunity to go to the first day of Practice Rounds at the Masters. They had a great time despite the hot weather.

Note: Megan's prom was this weekend so I expect we will have some photos of it for next month.

The brothers, sisters and spouses all had a great time over Easter getting together at Phyllis' and NC's. Here are some photos of the night taken by Erika.

Kathy Watts sent these photos of Maggie and Carson. Maggie was confirmed on 3/28/2010. Carson was very excited when her Pumpkin Center Battle of the Books Team won 1st place. Cale and Kathy also spent a week at Disney without the kids during March.

Brad Huss and Family

Not that the Brad Huss family has stopped but Softball is in full swing. Their10U travel team won the 2010 Top Gun Spring State Championship March 27-28. Mia pitched 4 straight games and never complained, what a trooper! Ana has turned into quiet the slugger. She is hitting the ball between 2 and 3rd base, that is great for her age and size. Way to go Ana!
Ana and Mia's optimist teams will begin playing games April 13th. This weekend the Huss family is back to Concord with the travel team to try for another Championship.

Over the Easter weekend they took a trip to Carolina Adventure World in Winnsboro, SC, this place has thousands of acres to ride ATV's. While they were in the area The Lady Vols played USC in Columbia so we spent the day watching the double header on Saturday. What a great experience. Mia and Ana both have signed softballs by all the girls on the team.
As for Brad and Jill we are either working or on the ball field. Brad's business has been booming, YEA!!!!

From Leslie Bailey

It has been an interesting month. At the beginning of the month Leslie fell down the steps and dislocated her toe chipping the bone and fracturing it at the same time. A couple weeks on crutches and a month in a wooden shoe was not fun, but she is back in a regular shoe with a limp now. Hopefully the swelling, red stripe, and limp will go away soon.

At the end of the month Noah ended up with Scarlet Fever. He has recovered fine and everyone else in the house managed to avoid it.

On a more fun note, Emma and Noah started soccer. This is Emma's first time playing and she is enjoying it. Their first game is Friday, April 9th. We took the kids kayaking for the first time on Good Friday. They loved it and so did we. We are currently pricing kayaks so we can go more often.

Our big news is that Emma and Noah now have a new cousin! Rylyn Elizabeth Bailey was born April 6th. The parent's are Ethan's brother, Lloyd Bailey and our sister in law Tammy. We are so excited to now have a niece!

From Phillip Harris

My family is doing good and staying very busy. Grant is playing minor league baseball (kid pitch) this spring and will be playing 2nd base for the Maiden Brewers. Aaron is playing machine pitch baseball and will also be playing 2nd base. His team is the Maiden Astros. I am helping coach Grant's team and I am the head coach for Aaron's team.

Janice stays busy and is having great success with her Premier Jewelry business. We will be taking our first camping trip of the year this weekend to Crosswind Family Campground near Salisbury. We plan on visiting the transportation museum while we are there.

I am looking forward to the end of month when David and I will be representing the Goodson family at the Quail Hollow Championship. We will be measuring golf balls with a laser from a tower overlooking green #3. We work on Friday & Saturday all day. If you happen to go, stop by and see us.

From the Past - Here are a few photos Erika posted on Facebook that I thought everyone would enjoy. Boy have we ever changed.
