May Days

We are already half way through the month of May and it feels like I have not had a moment to catch my breath.  I have had to travel a bit for work this month and that, coupled with the end of the year activities for the kiddos, has made it slightly more chaotic than what is customary around here.  May has been filled with wonderful things - softball is in full swing, which means many nights and days each week at the ballpark (when we are not rained out - which has happened quite a bit), Lu made her First Communion, and we celebrated Mother's Day!

Lu and James with GG and mom-mom:

And w/ Nana and Papa who came to NOLA to celebrate Lucy's First Communion:

So, yeah, things have been crazy, but we have managed some quite moments and some of the usual stuff of life that barely bears reporting.  There have been afternoons on the porch enjoying the cooler than usual May weather.  James had two cavities filled.  Lucy learned how to write in script and has the most incredible penmanship ever when she writes in cursive (and this is the kid who did not even figure out she was left handed until she was 5).  Christian and I are finally going to be the same age again tomorrow (39, for those of you keeping track).  And we are all eagerly awaiting summer break and all of the magic in store so stay tuned!
