Schools out and Summer has begun......

The High School graduates in our area
They always have a picnic in June for all the graduates.
The Graduates send out invitations with an RSVP..... I think everyone probably
gets invited......  we received 5 (out of the 7)



Since Joseph has been home all day Abigail doesn't really like to
take a nap..... so she falls asleep just about anywhere.




Look!!!!!!.... no training wheels!!!  




Oops.. turned a bit too quick!
Mama... look at me...  I fall over like Joseph!
(Abigail likes to do everything Joseph does!!)




Up and going again.....   a bit shaky but doing very well!!!!




Helping Mama fold cleaning rags for work




"I help Mama.. don't I?  I like helping"




Last night Abigail took a tumble in the gravel.
Dan said she hardly cried.






Last bit of May



Abigail says she is playing catch with Gunner.
Gunner belongs to Dave who lives across the hall from us.




Gunner is really great with the children and Abigail loves him too.
She and Joseph both seem to like animals but Abigail really
likes hugging them.....  like her cousin Caleb's cat.




Joseph's class had a Spring concert the last week of May.
Here he is waiting to do his part....  I think he was to hold up
a skelton for the song... not sure the song.. maybe walking in the woods??




I was really afraid and almost dreading going because I thought
Joseph would be the loudest.....  boy was I wrong and happy :)



MAY

Monday.......

Now it's time to play in the sandbox!!!!!

Sunday after we got home from meeting.

 Joseph and Abigail resting after playing hard and waiting for that sandbox.  Abigail fell asleep.....

when Sarah and Kelsey stayed with us Joseph and Abigail camped out in our room.  Joseph is under the covers somewhere.



Abigail dressed up her bear and was quite proud about it

March and April

APRIL

We had two special ladies stop by.  Wanda was leaving
the next morning to return to Kentucky and her Aunt Sharon
brought her over to Milwaukee to catch the flight.  Nice to
get a glimpse of Wanda since we weren't at any of the
special meetings she was in.
Sharon and Anita leave this week.

 Joseph decided to do the dishes for me one day.

One of their sweet moments













MARCH

 First kite for Joseph.... which he really enjoyed.  It was a very cheap kite but we got some time out of it.  Abigail wanted to turn at it too.

Abigail's first time in a big bed.
