The girls try sweet potatoes, which they find not nearly as nasty as green beans.

It is very hard for me to believe that another month has passed by; even more hard to believe that the girls are half way to being a year old.  My pregnancy and their birth seems like it just happened.  The past month has brought many "firsts" for the girls.  They tried out sippy cups, ate green beans, sweet potatoes, and peas.  They both learned to roll over from their backs to their bellies and Hayden has finally mastered the bouncy seat.  Each of these moments has been like getting a present at Christmas that you totally weren't expecting.  There is such incredible joy in watching my children learn and do things for the first time.  Russ and I often feel like the toddler you hear exclaiming, " Do it again! Do it again!"  To hear them giggle is experiencing true happiness.  We have been so blessed.
Life has been really great all around.  We sold our house and bought a townhouse.  We settle on June 25th for our townhouse and June 30th for our house.  Everything worked out more perfectly than Russ and I could have hoped.  Take notice in the picture we took when we went through recently- There is a DISHWASHER AND A PANTRY!!!!!  You know you're getting older when those types of things excite you.  We hope to replace some carpet and paint a little, but we are excited to be starting a new chapter in our lives.  
Congratulations are in order for Beth and Andy- whose wedding we just attended in Florida. 
Also Happy Birthday to Marla!!!
Memorial Day Picnic at my Mom's house.  She got them outfits so they would be appropriately festive!
