Daddy got to enjoy his "birthday" brewfest, and got to actually contribute with a keg (good use of an early birthday gift) of our own which was a big hit amongst friends! Daddy got a lemon meringue pie with a joyful "Happy Birthday" and candles at home to celebrate. We continued the birthday/mother's day celebration with BBQ ribs that weekend along with a traditional trip to the hardware store and working on the house for Mother's day.
The girls Spring Break took some altering of work hours and luckily co-insided with a family Graph trip to Southern California. They let us join them in their Legoland festivities which Cienna is still talking about! It was great to be able to make that work! Shannon, Georgia, and Gracie got a chance to come over and play, and we got to hang out with the Geithmans a couple times to ask about their Ireland trip and watch Cienna bowl for the first time!
The garden is continuing to thrive thanks to help from the girls and we are talking about how to preserve all the extras. We started swimming lessons at the local Y which has worked out great!
Cienna had her first dentist visit which couldn't have gone better, after a quite a few discussions and rehersals at home she was a perfect patient for Dr. Worden. When it was her turn she sat right down and opened her mouth as wide as possible until the hygienist said she did great and was all done. The hula hoop was introduced at school and while on a trip for a birthday present for a friend at school we decided they should both get one. Not so much at first, but not before long she was keeping going with her wiggle! Pony tales are finally an option and sometimes opted for, very cute as well. She has really excelled every swim lesson thanks to Daddy's help, and starting next month is signed up to go with just friends and a teacher!
Kaylee has adapted an Elvis dance and a real rhythmn for music. She now has 3 full teeth and looks like she'll be getting 20 (exagerating) more in the near future. This helps when large strawberries need to be eaten! She is turning everything that she can into a "walker" and has taken as many as 8 steps on her own. Now that she is more mobile and loving to open and investigate cuboards etc. we have been able to see how well she understands and listens! She has also amazed us with her helpfullness when asked to put her toys back when we are done with them!
Family is amazing and we are lucky to have such a great support system, we are always thinking of and wishing the best for ours and our friends!
These girls are just so darn cute, take a look!
