May

It has been a while since our last post which means life here has been uneventful, or totally crazy.  Adina graduated from preschool tonight, which means in a few short months Kindergarten will start!  She had her piano recital and the second we walked into the room and she saw all of the people she said she would not play.  I did what any mom would do in a crunch, BRIBERY!!  With a little whisper of "new Barbie" in the ear the show went on.  Oliver is doing well and turned four May first!  We didn't think we would get to three, what a stud.  We will have our bumps and anything could happen but we just live our lives and don't focus on what could happen.  Some nights when I am working with Oliver I sit and watch him in is drug induced sleep and am amazed at how perfect he is.  Only the luckiest of people can see that, few will figure it out.  He really is the most amazing person I will ever know.  Coraline is our little stinker who is almost two.  She can push Adina's buttons and turn on the fake cry like that.  She will give herself a time out for hitting Adina, strut out and hug and apologize, smile and whack her again.  She will make me go grey at some point.  Phinneus is our little chunky monkey, seven months old weighing in at 21 pounds!  His future might be football or sumo wrestling!  John graduates on Sunday.  Now we patiently wait for his first call.  We are all excited to find a place that we can call home for more than a year.  Until that happens John is taking over the stay at home mom role and I am bringing home the bacon!  Happy Summer!  Enjoy the pics.

Piano Recital

Our chunky boy.  His shirt appropriately says, "Judge me by my size do you?"  It's an 18 month shirt.

Brother time, looks like Oliver has a great secret.

Great Aunt Gracia!

The kids love to hang out with Oliver.  His bed is where the kids sit most.  
Cora holds Oliver's leg down with hers so she doesn't get kicked.

We all went to Disability Day at the Capitol to show support. 
All of my kids wore their Public Policy Advocate stickers.
We were proud parents.

Adina was so proud of her brother.
