April & May have been fun-filled months for us! We spent many of our weeknights at the baseball fields cheering on Nathan (Aggies- coach pitch) and Connor (Purple Tops - teeball). We enjoyed art shows, the school carnival, playdates, birthday parties, and keeping up with the fast pace of life. Ireland began crawling at 7 mos., and started pulling up soon after. She is our little princess, and all the boys adore her. Jackson and she especially have a close relationship. He loves to entertain her with his antics (he's always climbing something new, figuring out how to do something no one else has even thought of doing, or taking something apart) and she will follow him around just cackling (I'm afraid they'll soon be partners in crime!). Nathan and Connor are very helpful with her, love to carry her around, help feed her, etc. In May, baseball season ended, and we celebrated the end of school at Trinity Day School for Connor and Jackson. Connor is so excited about being in Kindergarten next year. We took Nathan and Connor camping for the first time, and had a great time at Lake Rayburn. You'll see some fun pics below of Memorial Day weekend with the Oliphants at Lake Livingston. Nathan just has 3 days left of Kindergarten, and we're looking forward to more relaxed days of summer...swimming, Vacation Bible School, art camp, and maybe a few stay-at-home pajama days!

Krista - It's good to see your blog! I was showing Vivian the pictures of all your children trying to explain how Connor was in your tummy back in those days and she had never actually met any of your kids but Nathan... :) Which of course she did not remember but thought was great. thanks for the link.

take care,
Christin.
