We got to visit with some friends last night!  Ava and Audrey hit it off pretty good this time.  Ava could not believe that Audrey was taller than her!  While Isla wouldn't join in the picture, she and True were friends by the end of the evening as well.  True asked if Audrey could come over again today… if only they didn't live so far away!  Maybe we will make a Springfield trip this summer!

 I meant to post these pictures last night, but I feel asleep!  I love when I see Lu with a book on her lap!

Ava got to bring her poetry notebook home from school.  We got to listen to her read!

 My internet was now working last night, so tonight I will post the pictures!  Lu couldn't wait for her own bath and jumped in to Ava's!  She was not happy because she went underwater!

Poor little soaking girl!  Maybe that will teach her not to try and climb in!

 Where does time go?  Celebrating this cute guy's 4th birthday today!

One of my favorite pictures - he is such a sweet, lovable, happy (most of the time) little guy.  He was in bed giggling tonight because I told him I was going to pretend he was still 3.  Some of my favorite things he says right now:  puptakes (cupcakes), hipbups (hiccups), goldbinch (goldfinch), and gril (girl).  I'll be sad when he can say all his words correctly!

 True's trophy for playing soccer!  He had his last two games today.  I wish I could say the same for Ava, but she has a tournament in two weeks.  She was a bit jealous that True already got his trophy!

This is how Lu slept today during nap time.  My neck hurt just looking at her...

Unlike you, Emily, I haven't forgotten to post.  I just haven't had any pictures to post!  This is a picture from a few days ago, but life is just crazy with BJ gone, teaching, and taking care of three kiddos.  We are in survival mode!  I was really excited because I heard soccer games were canceled for tomorrow because of all the rain, but then, unfortunately, they are back on!  Bummer!  I was really looking forward to being lazy tomorrow… I wanted to be like Lu in this picture…

 Day 2 of field trips!  I got to go with Ava's class to the zoo.  Here is Ava with her two best buds from class.  We were afraid it would rain, but it held off until we were back on the buses headed home.  We had a pretty good day - lots of animals were on the move and it was not crowded!

The orangutans are the new exhibit and they have not officially opened, but we did see one out!  I can't wait to see the exhibit!
