Memorial Day



We took a little break from all the moving and working on the house to go to the Memorial Day parade, swim a little in the afternoon, and enjoy the sun for the day.  Back to working on getting in the house tomorrow.

Moving Day



We moved most of our things back into the house this weekend.  We had help from friends and family all weekend long, which was great!  This week we will still sleep (on mattresses on the floor) in the apartment, until things are a little more ready in the house (like hot water working, carpentry dust cleaned up, and all electrical work done).  For more pictures of the move and clean-up/organize process, click on anywhere in this post to go to the remodel blog.




Expanding House

Dawson gave this drawing to the grandparents to tell them about our big news.
*If you are wondering what that red stick thing is...it is a magnifying glass showing a tiny baby.

Jamie's Art

Jamie had some of her art on display at her school art show.  Usually we end up posting Dawson's art because he is so into it and Jamie has been known to be a little more careless with any drawing or writing (or pretty much anything in life, being the spaz she is).  Lately, however, she has been really into her drawings and actually trying.

Tooth Fairy

Dawson lost these two crazy looking front teeth over the last couple weeks.

One of them came out at school and he had to go to the office with it.  He never got it back from school, so you can imagine how upset he was when he didn't have the tooth for the tooth fairy, when he got home.  So, he came up with a plan.
It worked.  The tooth fairy must have found the tooth using his directions, because there was a dollar under his pillow in the morning.

The next one came out at home, so he was able to put the real tooth under his pillow.  However, he must have figured since the first note worked, maybe another note would work to his advantage too.
The tooth fairy left a note back to him, with a dollar, that said he would have to save his money and buy what he was asking for.

Baseball Season

Baseball season has begun.  Dawson's team this spring is the Grasshoppers and he should have a great time this year because a lot of friends from school are on his team this year.
