MAY

What another amazing month. We had to move out of Grammer's and move into Grandmother and Papo's house. The kids have been great through it all they really enjoy their time with the grandparents.

Louie - Louie is starting to balance himself standing up. He is now 10 months old and I think he'll be walking by the time he's 11 months. He is still very attached to me. Ava took a car away from him and he bit her leg. I can't believe how emotional he is for being so young.

Avabelle - We went to Anthony and Avabelle's end of the year picnic for preschool. Her teacher just adored Avabelle. She kept going on about how great Ava was and how much she was going to miss her. I thought she probably does that will all the kids but I didn't notice her give the extra attention she gave Ava to anyone else. Everyone loves Ava! Grandmother and Papo also adore Ava. Ava loved her birthday party she was so excited about this year. This is the first year she really knew it was her birthday. Her theme was cupcakes and we had her party at grandmother and papos. They were so helpful with the preperation for her party. A lot of people turned out even though they had to travel south. We broke a pinata, played hot potato and pin the cupcake on the cherry. It was a great day and Ava loved her party.

Anthony - Anthony has really become a lot more social. He's even starting to make jokes. I love to listen to him talk when I pick him up from preschool. He tells me about what center he was at and what Jordan did that day. His really cute girlfriend. I went on his field trip to Majestic View. He was more excited about riding the bus then he was about the place. It was great to share that experience with him. He is a great kid who I always tell how much I love him everyday. I can't believe he's almost 5!!!!! He still thinks that the school zone lights flash because HE gets out of school. I tried to explain that it's for all the kids but he likes to tell me that it's because they say "Anthony's out of school."

Tony and I - Tony and I have been under a crazy amount of stress moving from our old house to Grammer and Papa's house to Grandmother and Papos. WOW!!! We are trying to keep our sense of humor about it and not let it affect the kids at all. No matter what we still spend a lot of time with them. We both agreed that they would feel love and support from us no matter where we are at. They have been adjusting well.
