May

I can't believe it's May already, this year is flying by so fast! We've had a busy few weeks to a trip to Oklahoma for a mini family reunion followed 2 days later with a trip to Houston. The kids did amazingly well with all the time in the car and Joshua asks me daily now when we're going on another trip. We're going down to Corpus for a few days at the end of the month and they are both really excited about going to the beach. I asked Joshua the other day is he wanted to eat a fish while we're there. He got a very serious look on his face and told me that fish are nice, we don't eat them, we just look :) We'll see if he still feels that way when I give him a plate of shrimp and coctail sauce....my vote is he won't.

We were able to get both kids registered for preschool this month and I'm excited for them to start in August. Joshua talks about going to school all the time and doesn't want to wait that long. They will be going two mornings a week for about 3 hours. I'm really excited for them to make some friends their own ages. I found out a couple of weeks ago a little girl that Abigail goes to nursery with is going to be going to be in the same preschool class so we're going to get them together a few times this summer so they will know someone on the first day.

Tommy is busy with work like always, but he loves what he does and is still enjoying the fact that he gets to make the decisions :) He built the kids a picnic table a few weeks ago and they are enjoying being able to eat outside on it and (one day soon) play with finger paints for the first time. He is building another boat and hoping to have it ready to take out on the lake near our house soon. I have an ultrasound at the end of the month to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl, I'm REALLY looking forward to being able to get rid of a bunch of baby clothes once we find out if we need blue or pink. They are taking over my house and it's time to find a new home for the ones we won't need!
We are looking forward to a busy summer. We have a trip to Corpus planned over Memorial Day, Abigail's 2nd birthday, a few days in Galveston (Kemah, Moody Gardens, the beach) in June while Tommy goes to a conference for work, and a wedding in August. We're excited for all of our little adventures and hoping it will be enough to keep the kids from getting too bored with our everyday activities.
