Mid May

I'm starting to pack. I found the boys listening to Grandma read them a story (her voice is recorded in the book) in a box.

We move next week. I am SO excited! We start staining our kitchen tomorrow. I'll post pictures after. We have oak cabinets and we are staining them a very dark brown. I know this is going to be a ton of work but I think it will be worth it!!

Apparently, I love putting Katelyn in pink. She's only missing a pink bow. ;) 

The boys love going to get daddy from work once a week. We even went inside this week because they were decorating for someone's birthday. Love his coworkers. 

I LOVE technology at dinner time. It makes cooking SO much easier. I think this is the only time that Liam is this peaceful. 

I'm starting Katelyn on a preschool curriculum. It's big here in Texas. 

Hahaha. No I'm not. She started biting the crayon and stabbing the paper after this picture. She does love to sit at this table. I need to buy another chair. 

Troy went on his first play date alone this week. I know, that is crazy, since he's 5. But Liam was heart broken for about 20 minutes. He had to nap anyways. The second he woke up he asked for Troy. Love these little buddies. 

Troy recently talks to his friend Damien on his "phone." Liam talks to Liam. Hahaha. I laugh every time. 

Katelyn is starting to walk a lot better. Never crawls anymore. She still gets so giddy about the fact that she's walking. Ben hates putting her to bed because she will usually hang out with us and he loves all the time he can get with the kids. 

Troy is really big into helping lately. He makes his own pb & j. Liam wants to copy of course and eats a piece of bread with a lump of butter in one corner. 

Ben is really busy with work. They've hired two more people to be on his team, but they won't get here for a few more weeks. Plus his boss' wife had a baby today. He loves what he is doing and I know it will calm down. I've been reading Daughters in my Kingdom. It helps me regain perspective, realign priorities in our life, and be grateful. These are things I often lack and I am grateful for the continual teaching of the gospel.
