During construction...

Other things happened while our house was being torn apart. Larry and Spencer ran in the starlight parade. They were electricians. Spencer put a whole bunch of dirt on the slide and then got friendly with it.

Larry also had a campout with the boys in May to the beach.

Updates:

Miranda:still obsessed with pets. She went fishing for the first time yesterday and caught a fish.

Derek: Got to play chess at school with a first grader for a while. Still obsessed with Star Wars. He and Larry and reading the same book (and Derek is farther along in it).

Spencer: LOVES school, now that it is finally over tomorrow. He is starting to read. And he really likes to write.

Lindsey: Loves her dress up shoes and still wants to wear them to bed even though she has big sores on her feet from them! She is talking so well now. It is funny to ask her questions and see what she says.

Kara: WOW, she's growing up. She's crawling slow and steady all over the house (break out the vacuum and broom). She now has 6 teeth and I've got her off of baby food. She loves Everything! I'm so glad she's not a picky eater. She even ate olives the other day. She also stands up now.

Larry: Is trying to finish up some projects at work to get ready for Sabbatical!!!! That's an 8 week extra paid vacation!!!! So, Larry doesn't have to go to work from June 18- Aug 12!!! We are going to do a lot of travelling this summer. He is also finishing up being a baseball coach.

Michelle: I'm trying not to get too anxious to move the kids into their new spaces! I'm also planning our summer vacation. I've recently started volunteering in the kids' classrooms, and that has been really fun!
