Who Knew?

Who knew moving could be so much fun....for the kids that is. Trying to keep them entertained while packing is not the easiest task. So in my best efforts I created a box house/tunnel thingy. Result: kids loved it, even Katelynn

Congratulations to Tyler!

YAY! Tyler finally graduated, we can now call him Dr. May!!!! How exciting is that, now off to that four year residency. Oh Boy, Philadelphia here we come ready or not.

Dam Marathon

A whole marathon seems a little frightening for some reason! That is why I stick with Half Marathons, not so intimidating. Two more weeks until race day. My mom is going to be running with me. I'm so proud of her for sticking out the training, it's tough.

Crawling

Katelynn started crawling the other day, she is so wobbly and cautious, it so cute!

8 months

So I kind of been a slacker lately....just have a lot going on. But Katelynn is starting to get curious and wander out of her sitting position. She is just rocking back and forth on all fours for now.

Katelynn 7 months

Such a cutie. I look at these pictures and want to go wake her up from her nap just so I can kiss her squishy cheeks. She loves to snuggle up to my face and she is starting to love to laugh and play with Damon and Andee.

Can I have a lick?

If you ever get a cake from me....don't eat it! My kids love to stick their fingers in it and lick, lick, and lick some more. They love cleaning out the bowl after I pour the cake batter in the pan and quickly get it into the oven to keep the slobbery fingers from getting it even more saliva infested. Well this time during the midst of our cake making session I had to change Katelynn's diaper and came back to find a huge finger painting mess all over, even on the ceiling. Thought it was cute of them, couldn't even get mad.


Just look at those muscles!

Is it normal for kids to have an armspan like this?

The Fun Center

This place about 4 miles from our house, The Fun Center, has a $10/family on Monday nights, so we decided that would be our Family night. It's huge! There is a roller skating rink, jungle climing maze things?, about 6 bounce houses, laser tag, blast ball, and during the summer a water park. The kids love it! We went about a month ago to check it out and I wore jeans and a shirt and was soaking wet with sweat by the time we headed home...the reason...I have to climb with Andee and take her every where with me. This time I went prepared in my workout clothes and I still sweated to death. My confession: I probably have just as much fun as the kids.





So red-faced and sweaty! We were so tired by the end of the night, we all collapsed and slept great last night.




Getting ready to climb, with Andee of course.


Tyler gets to babysit Katelynn. He said he's too big to climb around and jump.

You can't disagree

Is this not the cutest baby you've ever seen?

Damon Paul May

I decided to post about each of my kids tonight. They all are so special to me in such different ways. Damon keeps my spirits up. He is constantly going, going, going, and it might drive some people crazy, but it is something I love about him. He has so much energy and loves to laugh. He is starting to ask the funniest questions, some I honestly don't know how to answer. He is learning how to read and is getting better at writing. He loves to sing and play and burn lots and lots of his never ending supply of energy.

Damon is my little helper. Seriously this boy is such a natural with babies. He loves to hold, rock and play with Katelynn. He is pretty good at giving her bottles, but he is especially good at taking poopy diapers out for me. He runs them out to the "blue garbage" for me a couple times a day.



He loves chocolate and sweets just as much as the next person....




And then there is his thumb...what the heck is wrong with his thumb? Is it double jointed? Is there a bone missing? I took a couple of shots with different angles so you could get the full effect when he holds a pencil. He is getting really good at finding his way through mazes, connecting the dots and tracing.

Andee Taylor May

Andee is such a special little girl. She puts up with a lot of teasing from her older brother and deals with it very maturely. She is starting to become very bossy, learning lots of songs and poems, she likes to color, and is very good at playing with toys and entertaining herself. Andee knows her alphabet and recongnizes all the letters! She is such a sweetheart, so fun to have around.

Something unique about Andee is her hair...it is so soft and fine and curly, it makes for some great hair days.




Andee loves her chocolate just like any other girl. She licked the brownie bowl clean and enjoyed every mintue of it.

Katelynn

The picture says it all. Such a cutie who loves to smile and laugh.

stats for the little tike

Katelynn is 15 lbs (27%) and 27 in (87%). She got her first two teeth and boy are they sharp. She can sit all by herself and loves to laugh and play with Damon and Andee.

Yummy

Yummy...the word I think of when I see Katelynn sleeping. Her rosie red cheeks, sweet little face, so peaceful and well...yummy.
