Family Fun!

 We have had lots of fun since I last wrote. The day before Mother's day my mom, Cassia, and I went out for afternoon tea. Cassia loved having real tea in a real tea cup and even enjoyed the little tea sandwich with salmon on it. She is definitely her Daddy's daughter. At home she used to always pretend to make coffee, but now she loves making tea for everyone.

On Mother's day we had the joy of having Abigail dedicated. It went well and Papa gave a beautiful blessing over Abigail. At the end of the day we had to say goodbye to Grandma and Papa. The kids are still asking how long before they come back for another visit. Then the next day Dave and I left for our vacation and had a great time relaxing. It sounds like Nana and the kids had a blast while we were gone. The kids still continue to tell me stories of their time with Nana. It seems the most memorable for both Davey and Cassia was their long walk to the park and stopping to watch the big trucks and tractors doing road construction. They also continue to request we sing the new song Nana taught them during Bible time. WhenCassia is down for nap quite often I hear her singing the song to her babies. I will try to get a video of it and post it next week. Even Abigail is starting to really get into it.

Loving the kiddie pool!

 By the time the week was over Dave and I were excited to see our cute little monkeys again. We enjoyed all the hugs, kisses and snuggles from all of them. We had fun at their soccer game the next day and then had to say our goodbyes to Nana. This week has been good, but also a bit sad as we miss our family so much and love having all the company. We are looking forward to our fourth of July camping trip and can't wait to see the family again.
 Abigail had her 15 month well check yesterday and she is doing excellent. She weighed in at 18lbs 2oz, which is in the less than 5th percentile. The Dr. isn't worried at all since she is still keeping with her own curve of normal growth. They also checked her iron count and we are up to good levels so we get to stop the iron supplement! Abigail did have to have 3 shots, which she did great with. However, by the evening she was hurting. I was getting last minute things on the table and told the kids it was time for dinner. Normally Abigail walks into the kitchen with the other kids. She was in the living room and started fussing. She acted as if her legs were stuck. She couldn't walk because her legs were so sore. Abigail ended up falling asleep on Dave before we even had a chance to get her pjs on. She woke up this morning back to her normal spunky self.
