May began with a wonderful celebration of Abby's first holy communion. It was so awesome to see her experience something so very important and something she has learned about and looked forward to for a very long time. We are so proud!
At Kate's 15 month appointment she was 20.14 lbs (20%), 32 1/4 inches long (90%)
We spent May preparing the new house by painting, putting down new carpet and tile, cleaning and anything else you can think of to get a house ready. We also sold lots of baby stuff on Craigslist, sorted and packed. It was a very tiring month!
My parents came to help pack and prepare the new house and they brought their dog and his crate...which someone LOVED! This same weekend...3 of the 4 of us has some sort of virus or food poisoning. Such fun!
She's showing her girly side... insisted on wearing that bracelet!
Kate is starting to be able to sit through a book, although it's lively!
My packing sabotager...it was VERY challenging to pack with a walking 15 month old on the scene.
Spaghetti, blueberries...and then a BATH!
Cousins watching a movie while we worked on prepping the new house...
We literally moved on Grant's last day of school, May 18. We were unpacked and ready to take a trip to Hobart for Memorial day weekend a week later! I'm always a crazy unpacker, complete with pictures hung on the wall...within a few days. We are hoping we can stay put for a few years and until Dr. Robo finishes his fellowship and we begin the next adventure.
May also brings the celebration of our anniversary. We celebrated 7 years and I honestly can't remember what we did...but I am pretty sure it involved unpacking, which is very appropriate! We have moved 6 times in the past 7 years, two of which were cross country.
This house felt more like "home" for us in one week than the last one did in 11 months! Here are a few pics from that first week...
