Thomas' Spring Program

I wish I could post some photos of Thomas participating in the preschool program (he knew all the songs and had practiced them at home for me), but he was too teary that evening to join his class for the performance. To his defense, he was recovering from a nasty ear infection. Yet, after the program was over he seemed to perk right up in time for the refreshments. Perhaps he will be the one from his class to be the "Most likely to become an actor" one day.

Class clowns.

We are so blessed with a great Lutheran school for Thomas to attend.

He loves his school and his teacher.

Don't they look like a couple of high school kids walking down the hallway to class?

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Today my parents came to visit, and I was lucky enough to be able to celebrate Mother's Day with my children, mom, grandma and aunt! It was a lovely day, and I am so thankful for all of the blessings in my life. Being a mother is something I have been talking about since I was a little girl...God has answered many prayers. We missed you Grandma Galiher...Happy Grandma's Day from Indiana to Texas.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Sean!

Final Farewell

Tailgating at Daddy's baseball game. Go PENN!

Mom and Dad Galiher stopped by for the weekend, before making the final drive to Texas. It was wonderful to spend some time with them before they headed on the long journey south. Of course the weekend was mostly filled with baseball events, but I am fairly certain that did not bother them. :) Godspeed! We love you. See you in July...

Six months

All smiles!

Andrew is 6 months today.

He is sitting up with confidence and loving his new outlook on the world around him. His big brothers were so impressed with his latest achievement! They love bringing him toys, putting on puppet shows, and finding creative ways to entertain him. Andrew is our little sweet guy. I absolutely love this age...he is growing up way too fast!

Roadtrip to Virginia

Over spring break, we went on vacation to Virginia with some of the May family- Sarah's parents and sister and family. It was a great time. The kids loved every exhausting moment of every day. They were such troopers, skipping naps and going on long car rides, and doing lots of walking in the blazing heat. We were hoping for warm weather...and we got hot weather. In the 80's and 90's all week! Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful week together.

Riding these bikes down the Virginia Beach boardwalk became much more of a workout then expected. And it was 94 degrees that day!

Visiting Jamestown Settlement

Andrew was such a good baby the day we went to the beach. It was absolutely stifling that day. He kept somewhat cool in his little beach tent, and Grandma kept him company, too. He will be 6 months too soon...our little baby is already sitting up!

Thomas had a ball in the waves! Our last visit to the beach (summer 09), he wouldn't even dip his toes in the water, so this was a huge breakthrough!

Benjamin loved the sand, surf and sun.

One day we went to Busch Gardens, and the kids couldn't get enough. We shutdown the park. Here the cousins are posing with Cookie Monster. Benjamin gave CM the biggest hug...his little eyes were wide open in amazement. Is it really Cookie Monster?

BG has an awesome area for little kids...we highly recommend it.
