Updates from the White House

May was a very busy month for us.

Durham had his 1st Communion on May 2nd. This was 27 years to the day Kevin had his! My mom came out to help celebrate and we had a really good time.

Mother's Day was really nice-the boys made me some really sweet cards and they were very nice to each other all day. I try to remember how sweet they can be, especially on the days that they aren't!

May 14th was Luke's 6th birthday. We had his party on Saturday with his friends from school. We moved the party indoors, but still had a great time. About a half hour before the party the skies opened up and it poured. I was so happy we weren't outside at the park! He had a Star Wars party and received lots of Legos. He was happy, but his brothers, not so much! One of the kids at the party gave us the gift that keeps on giving-a stomach virus!

Luke lost his first tooth a couple of weeks ago. We were at the Dell Diamond for a Round Rock Express baseball game and it was so wiggly it came right out! He was very excited! It's neat to look back at the pictures we took that night. Early in the game he has all his teeth, by the end he's sporting a gap-toothed smile!

School and sports are winding down. Durham still has some soccer games left; Luke's t-ball season is over. Luke ended the season with 5 game MVP balls, mostly for making plays as catcher. This is Durham's first season playing soccer and he really enjoys it. He has so much energy and endurance he makes running the field look easy!

I think I'm as ready as the kids for summer break to arrive. We have some activities scheduled already, but not nearly at the pace we have been keeping up with.
