Ah Spring...

Spring is here with all its beauty. Flowers, sunshine, lovely rainstorms. The little ones had their last day of school on May 16th.... SHQ goes on until June 3rd.


SHQ got a new pretty pink bike... the training wheels are to come off soon. THK is riding SHQ's old bike, and B is riding the new bike she got last year. We are quite the sight as we all go down the sidewalk in a line...S, T, and B because she pedals so darn slow. Makes her mad that THK is ahead of her but he would run her off the sidewalk if he wasnt.


We planted a garden last week - did you know they put carrot and radish seeds in a cotton strip now?!?!? Its the bestest thing ever! Now your plants stay in one place when the hard rains come!! Kids liked the garden and we also planted a few flowers this year too.


SHQ and I are off to Pitts next weekend to see her eye specialist... pray for us! I was stoopid not to book our tickets in Feb when I had the chance because I could have gotten them both free with my frequent flier miles. But noooo I waited because the dr office has cancelled on me before and I didnt want to have to pay a changing fee. I should have because I only got one of our tickets for free... the other I had to pay $500 for. I was soo disappointed!!


We had our pictures taken and they turned out beautifully! It was quite the experience that was rewarded with lots of ice cream afterwards.


Yesterday we went to the zoo and had a blast! The kids loved the elephants... two of them loved the goats and one of them would start to hyperventilate every time I suggested feeding a goat.... guess which one it was! I'll give you a hint... the hair color rhymes with BITE!! Train was also a big hit at the zoo... lions made THK just keep asking if they were going to eat him.


We switched churches recently because our old church wouldnt baptize THK without him going through some kind of child RCIA. Jesus Christ on a Cracker! He's four freaking years old and English is his second language! Thats what we get for having our favorite deacon move away... we're dealing with a priest that doesnt even like people. Our new church is newer, has move families our age, and very compassionate priests. I feel very at home there... they even have a BAND!! Hows that for progressive catholics!! THK gets baptized on June 15 after the 11:15am service. We were asked if we wanted to fully dunk him but I didnt think that would fly :D
