May Happenings

The past 2 weeks have been busy. And I don't see it slowing down any time soon. 

The girls are finishing up Kindergarten. I can't believe it.  This year has gone by fast, as usual. They have learned so much this year.  And they have blossomed so much. They are not my babies anymore.  Last week was the end of the year picnic. All 9 Kindergarten classes went to the park. It was such a fun day. The girls had a blast.

That evening we had some friends come over with their son.  He is 1 month older than Ethan.  We got to know them this past year waiting for E to come home.  Bill was able to watch their son, to get an idea of what it will be like to have a son.  It's fun to watch the boys.  They are slowly becoming good friends.  I'm excited to see the friendship blossom.

Daisy's is also over for the year. And as the end of year treat, the girls were treated to pedicures.  They chose the nail polish and they got a Daisy painted on their big toes. They loved it.  It was fun for them.

Ethan is in desperate need of a real hair cut. I wish we could take him somewhere. But we can't, yet.  He screams whenever you get close to his head.  So, we tried. It took a while. We finished while he was in the bath. 

So Tiff tried on my wedding dress when she was a lot younger. She asked to try it on again.  So I told her to go ahead.  And it fit this time.  It was bittersweet to see it on her.  She said she really likes it and wants to wear it for her wedding.  (No, there are no wedding plans in the works, or even a prospective groom). 

This weekend Bills family came over. We have not seen his brother & family since Jan.  It was really nice to see them.  All of the girls had fun swimming. I'm so glad the weather cooperated.  This photo all 6 jumped in together.  I love their expressions.

Finally, little man.  He's such a cutie pie.  He is doing better.  He had another ear infection, so some more sleepless nights.  Last night he slept 12 hours. I think he was worn out from all of the family fun.  Today after he got out of the pool, he sat in the princess chair (Yes, Bill wants to find a manly chair for him) and just watched Bill play with the RC car.  He was fascinated.  It was so neat to see the "boy" come out in E.  I love this expression.  It will change soon. 1 week from today (June 7) his lip will be repaired.  I'm ready, but a little sad at the same time. 

So that is the last 2 weeks.  OH, one more important thing happened.  We're moving!  We are building a house. It's bigger.  6 bedrooms.  We are preparing just in case we adopt again. :-) 

Thanks for checking on us.  I will update after surgery (if not before).  Until them.......
