June?

I can't believe it is June tomorrow. May just flew by. I keep thinking that the next month will not be as busy but we seem to continue to be running. We were able to play with our travel partners (Janice and her daughter Libby) at the Children's Museum. We have visited the playground, had a garage sale, Malia did the adoption walk (while I did the garage sale) went to her first Saints game in 95+ degree heat (including tailgating - note: she didn't have any beer), went to the Paperbag Princess play, and have been busy with her final dance classes before recital this coming Saturday. We also had my grandparents in town from Arizona so they got to meet Malia in person. Then I think it will calm in June but we have the dance rehearsal, dance recital, play group, family wedding, baby shower, and Malia's half birthday. We have something going on every weekend but at least the weeknights should slow down some.

Happy Mothers Day

I can't believe this was my second Mother's Day with Malia. This year was so special because she got that it was Mama's Day and really was just so loving. She did awesome all weekend but was so cute that morning I was almost in tears. We went on the Race for the Cure walk that morning and she walked/rode with the girls. It was so crowded again so I felt bad for her but once we were farther on the walk then I got her out of the stroller and she walked with us. We were fortunate that our friend Kirsten could join us. Her mom also recently battled breast cancer so I was a nice way to spend the morning. Thank you to everyone that donated to me or Malia

After the walk Malia crashed completely in the car and then we went to my parents house for a BBQ dinner. It was a wonderful day with family. Even my sister and her family were in town for the celebration this year. I hope everyone else had a terrific Mother's Day regardless if you are a mom, soon to be mom, or a birthparent. We did a special prayer for Malia's China birthmom that evening.
