May Happenings

May was another busy month for us, probably our busiest of the year.  All three girls were in soccer camp and had a practice/game every Monday and Tuesday night.  We were still plugging through school.  Two of our teenage kids from church both had serious surgeries on May 12.  We kept a 9 year old girl from church for a week and a half while her sister was out of state having surgery and recovering.  We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, Baby Girl's 5th birthday (previous post) and my Grandparents 65th anniversary.  And I turned another year older, too. :-)

The girls baked cookies with minimal help from me.  They were working on their cooking badge.

If he wants in his high chair, he pulls up a dining room chair beside it and climbs in.  I caught him doing this.  He was trying to do up the buckle.

Trouble with a capital "T", yet such an innocent face.

L'il Girl - my big helper - if she sees laundry sitting out, she'll often start folding it without being asked.
