Life

I've mentioned before that Katherine is the only girl in her class at school. One day, Kat did not want me to leave the gym, because Ms. Holly wasn't there. She was clinging to me, and I was trying to convince her to stay. Major rode over on his bike, she got on behind him, turned to me, waved and said “Bye, Mama!” They rode off together into the sunset. I ran to my office and grabbed my camera. Priceless.

Andrew is playing softball again with the church. It's a great opportunity for the guys who play to connect and get to know each other. The girls have been to two games so far. I made it to my first one last week.

Saturday, it was actually warm enough to swim. The pool felt great after 4 hours of yard work! Katherine is using the floaties and already doing great. I think she'll be able to swim without them by the end of the summer if she'll let us take them off her arms. Sara is the best teacher - she can get Katherine to take some risks.

Isabella was not too sure about the pool. Could be that we didn't have a bathing suit with us for her, or that every time Katherine and Sara screamed, it made her cry!

Andrew was gone for the weekend with the Maxey Men. They camped and hiked for 2 nights and 13 miles. Better them than me!

We couldn't all look at the camera at the same time, so this is as good as it gets for the Mother's Day picture this year.

My sweeties at lunch.

Loving each other.

Getting a little too wild now!
