Time is flying. I can't believe it's already may and that our little bunny is already a month old! We've been busy finishing up school, settling into a new routine as a family of seven, and preparing to move...yes, we sold our house again...HOORAY! Amongst all the responsibilities, we've managed to have some fun too...

Joey got the kids a sprinkler...it will be great for those hot days before the pool is open in the morning...and for days when I have too many little ones to handle at the pool solo. |

Cassidy was a good sport about wearing the only dress-up we have that still fits her...even though it was not what she wanted to wear and it was itchy! :) I think the make-up maybe made up for it! :) |

Lily insisted on purchasing an Elsa dress just for the occasion...she used some of her Christmas money. |

As it was a "girls' night," Emerson came with us, too...and the girls wanted her to dress up with them! |
