May Highlights






















This month has seen many things wrap up. We've finished bible study, celebrated Mother's Day at school with Zac and Lauren got braces! Although it seems like time for school to be out, we still have three weeks left. We both have such fond memories of Memorial Day weekend, which arrives tomorrow. We plan to head down to the beach and spend time with friends, but will miss our family weekends at the Lake in Texas and family trips canoeing on the Big Piney.

Lauren and I had our first date in a long time....Eric and the boys went to a Nascar style racing event and left us home alone for an entire evening. We had a great time getting pedicures, going to dinner, dressing up and taking a bubble bath! Lauren was such a little lady, and I caught a glimpse of what the future holds with a "big" girl!



Eric and Jacob traveled to VA over Mother's Day weekend to say goodbye to Eric's grandfather and grandmother. They were both special to us, and will be missed. We will be traveling to Arlington National Cemetary in August for the burial of his grandfather, and will stay for a week in DC/Yorktown, VA to see the Frailey family.



The kids started piano last month, and are enjoying their crazy teacher and fun class. We go on Thursday afternoons. We also joined the YMCA, and are really enjoying our time there working out, swimming and playing with lots of other children! We work out while the kids are having fun with their friends in an outdoor play area, and then we meet up for swimming. The pool is very warm, 88 degrees, so that makes it very fun to swim! It was really fun when Daniel had diarrhea in his swimsuit and they had to close the pool for two days! Duck and run!
