It has been an eventful couple of weeks at our house. A lot of nice weather has given us the chance to spend evenings outside and a week and a half off of running has allowed me more time with the girls.
First of all, I must mention that Abigail has lost her 2nd tooth and a 3rd one is already loose. At this rate, I'm thinking we are going to have to put her on a liquid diet or get her some temporary dentures.
Bridget celebrated her 3rd birthday on May 6th. It was a very nice day so we met my sister, Melissa, her kids, and my parents at a park in Dallas Center for picnic and play time. The kids had a blast and Bridget showed her fearlessness by trying pretty much everything at the playground.

On Sunday our house and yard filled up with grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and cousins as we celebrated Abigail turning 6 and Bridget turning 3. We had brats and hamburgers for lunch followed by chocolate cake (Bridget's choice) and brownies with frosting (Abigail's choice). Everyone had a great time, especially the kids.

One night while Erin and Abigail were gone, Bridget and I got the garden planted. She did a great job helping to put the seeds in. She also liked picking rocks out of the garden beds and holding her hand under the hose while I sprayed water. The green beans, carrots, and zucchini are already up but I still have to buy the tomato plants.
Last Sunday was mother's day so we had the opportunity to celebrate how fantastic of a mother that Erin is. I made her favorite meal, Chicken Parmesan (queue Payton Manning) and she spent the day playing with the girls. My mom arrived Sunday evening in time for supper as she is helping us out this week watching the girls while our daycare is closed.
