Projects and Mother's Day Hugs!

Can someone please tell me where this year is going?? It is already close to the end of May. Callen's last week of school is this week...which means summer! I feel like half of our summer is already planned out; and those weeks with no plans mean lots of pool time. I have the best memories of growing up in Forrester Woods, and spending all day at the pool. I can't wait for the boys to have the same memories and fun times spent at the pool.

May 13: We are working hard to get our windows and trim finished. However, projects are a little slower than normal these days with a few extra hands wanting to help.

Callen working with the wood filler. He really is a good helper. He makes the project last longer, but he really wants to help and knows what needs to be done. Give him a few years, and he will be doing all the projects for Doug.

May 14: Mother's Day! Doug asked me what I wanted to do for Mother's Day, and I told him 'Paint the windows!' Not a very exciting day, but it was actually pretty relaxing. Graham took a nap or swung in the front yard while we painted, and Called played with the neighbors most of the afternoon. We've been playing so much lately that I thought it was more important to work on the house than play for another day.

Big hugs and smiles from G today!

Callen got himself dressed for church...and did a good job if I do say so myself! We were so proud of him today. The little kids choir sang at church today and he went right up there and started singing along. He didn't do all the hand motions, but he was definitely singing. This is from the kid that wouldn't even leave my side when they first started practicing. Cal is very cautious and nervous about being in front of people. He did such a great job!

May 16: A day at the zoo

Cal was so excited to bring money to buy food to feed the goats. He is somewhat scared of animals that want to come over and touch him. For him to let the goat eat the food out of his hands was a big breakthrough.

May 17: Graham figured out how to clap!

May 18: These boys love each other. Graham think Callen hangs the moon, and Cal can't be in a bad mood when Graham is around. It is so cute how they play together...most of the time! If Cal is intent on something he is playing, and Graham comes and messes it up...watch out world!
