May

I really didn't think that I would let a month go by with no update, but I did it. So, here is our month in review (with only a few days left to go - geez oh pete)!

Mother's Day - what a special weekend! Justin, Brenna and I just did our normal weekend activities. Justin made it special by just doing the things I wanted to do - no matter how boring. On Sunday, I got to sleep in a bit, had breakfast and then enjoyed some time with our friends the Esmays. We went to the mall (hoping to play in the splashpad - which was broken) so came back to the house for some kiddie pool swimming. Brenna and Conner enjoyed the cool water - the weather was nice and warm for it!

Bun head - during bath one night, I made a soapy bun on Brenna's head and then she wanted it the rest of the night, so for the first time, she got a bun. She kept telling me that she wanted a "sponge" and then when she saw herself, she said "I'm a pumpkin!" Of course, she had to wear a bun to school the next day too - to show her friends and teachers. Just one of the adorable things she had said or done this month.

Dogsitting - We had a visiting dog for a few days and Brenna was attached immediately. Jack stayed with us and Brenna had quite the playmate. Since Scruffy has gotten older, he has less interest in chasing balls, toys, etc. Usually his attention span is short for that kind of activity. But Jack really had the energy for Brenna - they got along great (and with Scruffy too).

Memorial day in the pool! We enjoyed some time in the water (during the coolest Memorial Day in a very long time) thanks to our friends/neighbors who just built a new pool! Brenna had a blast playing with her friends. When she was done playing, she told the water bye!

Last but not least, a little song and dance (spin) from our little performer. She sings nonstop - making up songs, singing about things like pants, macaroni and cheese and princesses. She is so much fun and very entertaining. Here she is with a well-known song, Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Stay tuned for June!
