may {condensed}

May was busy and fun for us.  Christopher finished up T-ball, and decided that it wasn’t really the sport for him.  He thought it was kind of boring, but since he’s only 5 we’ll probably try again sometime.  He’s signed up for soccer in the fall, so we’ll see if he likes that one any better.  It’s what he chose, so hopefully it will be fun for him. 

He “graduated” from preschool, with a ceremony and everything.  The kids sang a few songs, and each child got to say what they wanted to be when they grew up.  Christopher said, “a Daddy”, which made me smile, of course!  They each got a diploma and treats from their teachers.  It’s on to kindergarten in the fall!  He and I are both excited for that.  He gets bored around here, so it will be fun for him to have a new adventure.

We celebrated Mother’s Day, which was fun.  I got breakfast in bed, flowers, and cards.  The kids tried extra hard to be nice to each other.  We had dinner at our place, and invited Donald and Stella, and Jonathan and Katie and their kids.  It was fun to spend Mother’s day together.  We were also able to all get on a conference call with Ben on his mission.  He comes home in September, so he’s getting close to being done.

At the end of the month, Jonathan and Katie surprised us with a trip to Forth Worth.  They booked us a hotel, and watched our kids for us over the weekend.  The are super duper, and we are really, really lucky to have such great family!  We mostly relaxed and walked around downtown, and enjoyed each other’s company.  There are a lot of fun shops to see.  It was nice to get to spend some time together, just the two of us.  The kids had a great time, too!  Memorial Day was the standard pool and barbecue, which kick-started our summer quite nicely!
