Oh my…it has been entirely way to long since I have blogged. Life has been just as crazy as ever and time has gotten away from me. So, without further ado…our life over the past 6 weeks!
Easter…We had a very busy Easter weekend with parties, egg hunts, coloring eggs and lots of great family time. Our resident Easter Bunny hid 25 eggs inside our house and 105 eggs outside. This outside hunt is fast becoming a favorite traditions as the entire family get involved.
Family…One of our nephews played baseball here in Holland the following weekend and we got to spend some great time with their family. It is sort of sad that we live an hour away from each other and rarely get to hang out with them. Busy schedules keep everyone occupied so we were excited to all have some free time. Their three boys and our five kids make up quite the crew! We had a lot of fun and realized that all of our kids are old enough to actually get in a little adult conversation as well! You can’t beat that!
Cinco de Mayo…Having a child in the Spanish Immersion program at school makes it almost mandatory that you have a fiesta for Cinco de Mayo! (Besides the fact that I need NO excuse to have Mexican food for dinner!) We had great food and great times with friends and family. Jamahl said the dinner prayer all in Spanish and I am pretty sure none of the adults had a dry eye…nor could most of them understand what he was saying! Such a FUN night!
Tulip Time…And I end this long update with pictures from this years Tulip Time festivities. My mom and I worked our butts off making new costumes for the girls but it was so worth it to see them all dressed up. We didn’t make it down town as much as we normally do, the week just seemed to get away from us but we still had a lot of fun frolicking through the tulips! You might notice that we have no pictures of Jamahl in his costume. He did wear it when he and I marched in the parade but after that it was a “no go.” I knew it was going to be a long shot this year, but I am proud of myself for not getting to upset about it. He is growing up faster than we are ready….but isn’t that true for all of them?
SO, there you have it…our life during the last few weeks. Jamahl’s swim season has started again, Keyan has been fighting a bacterial infection and a yeast infection in her lungs, we are in the fight of a lifetime with Medicaid, the school year is wrapping up, Paul is training for his 300 mile bike ride, and so much else that fills our days. We are looking forward to warmer weather and some pool time!
