May

In May we walked in the Race For The Cure.  If you haven't ever done this i highly recommend it.  It was emotional to see soooo many people there and many had pictures and names on the backs of their shirts of women they were walking/running for.  The street was so packed i don't think i could have ran with a stroller even if i wanted to. 

My mom was on The Price Is Right and won a Ping Pong table so we had a little party to watch her TV deput and commemorate the biggest and most expensive thing she has ever won. I also took the kids to see my Grandma's farm and all the cows.  I loved visiting the farm when i was growing up, but now it's kind of falling apart and just isn't the same.

My friend Susan Adams and her husband Curt left for Moldova to join the Peace Corp for 27 months.  GO Susie and Curt! 

And mostly i just took a lot of pictures of the kids together.  Lyza was 5 months and Van was 19 months.

Abe shot a turkey and was very proud.  Van also learned to say Turkey thanks to the exerience.  Most people wouldn't put their kids that close to a wild, although dead, animal....but that's not the first time and probably won't be the last that is done at this house.

Since i haven't posted for so long, i wanted to go back through the months with some added imagery... an outting at Wheeler Farm to see the animals.

We blessed our baby girl March 28th. It was such a beautiful, sunny day and most of our family was able to be there. I ordered a few dozen of My Dough Girl cookies (www.mydoughgirl.com)as a tribute to Lyza because she is the ultimate dough girl. She is so kissable. And i must add that Abe gives our babies the sweetest blessings. We blessed her in the same dress i was blessed in. My mom actually made it. I just had to unstitch the arms and open them way up and restitch so i could get her chubby arms through. I had Van dressed in a cute tie but before we even got home from the meeting it was off. Why didn't i take pictures before we left? And seeing those pictures makes me wish i had cut my hair off months ago.
