How we are...

Well, as some of you may or may not know, our computer is on the fritz! To use the words of the Best Buy guy, "Your Motherboard is dead". He compared it to a head gasket on a car, you can still use it, but it's only a matter of time. So, because of that our camera is having problems connecting to the computer, so I have not been able to post pictures lately! But, that does not mean I cannot tell you how we are doing!

Sam is doing well in school. He is still maintaining his wonderful Friday spelling tests. We still cannot get over that our little boy is spelling and reading! He is very anxious for baseball to start at the end of May. Time is going too slow! :) He is constantly asking when we can go bowling, or to the park, or..just being active! He made me a beautiful and touching card for Mother's day, I cried. I am sure that won't be the last time I do that!  We are debating when to do Sam's birthday party, we are thinking the weekend before school ends, so this way he can invite his classmates. One of the perils of having a summer birthday is he doesn't get to do that, so we might just start that this year. He wants to go to Eagles Nest, which is a play building where they have jumpy houses, and indoor playgrounds. He went there for a party recently, and so now he wants his there. Of course! :) We have also been talking about getting a bike for him, his John Deere one is WAY too small for him. So, (hint hint grandpa and grandma Lori!) he does need that. :-)

Jack Jack is also doing great! Pre School is almost over. :( But, he is looking forward to next year. We recently had a mother's day tea, and he and his classmates put on a show for all of us. He was dancing and doing ALL the words! I was SO proud of him. This week he gets to do a field trip to Como Zoo. He is very much looking forward to that. He also is looking forward to T-ball starting. Both boys are in swimming lessons now, and both are are doing well. Jack is in them for the first time, and he IS doing well considering, but they just have some concerns about his confidence with floating, so he might be held back again, but that's perfectly ok! They are both having a blast.

Avery is also doing well! Our little girl is getting bigger everyday. At her 6 month appt on April 28th, she was 15pds1oz. The Dr. was very happy at her progress. She's is a perfect breastfed baby were his words! lol. She also gets smarter everyday. She hasn't rolled over yet, but its only a matter of time. She LOVES her brothers. In fact, right now she is LAUGHING at her brother Jack who is dancing for her. I cannot think of a better sound in this universe than her laughing. She is being picky lately on her sleeping, but we are dealing! She is on solid baby food now, and she eats that right up. We are heading home to Iowa this weekend to baptize Avery, we are busy planning for that. Her dress comes today, DRESS! Can you believe it? I still can't get over we have a girl! :-) So, I hope you can all make it.

We have big news too! We are pregnant! HAHAHAHAHA. That's funny. (The store is closed, thank you very much!)

Sorry, I couldn't resist. We are moving to Blaine. (again). Joe and I found a house in Blaine for rent, and it's perfect! It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house and it has all the room we need. So, moving day is July 1! So excited to get in there and paint and make it our own.

So, that is about the skinny of it. We are hardly ever home, we are always busy and on the the go. I'm sure it will just get more and more busy as they get older. I am not sure why they call it stay at home moms, we are never home!

I hope this note finds you all well. Drop us a note sometime and let us know!

I will leave you with a picture of the outside of our new home.
