Well I did figure out Smilebox, which is great because I really love making the picture show. So.....now I have to do a 2 to 3 month one and a 3 to 4 month one...oh and Oz's birthday! I am never caught up, but then what would I have to do if I was.
I also want to get back writing about our monthly review. This was a busy month.
May 2 we went to a confirmation at 10 am, wedding at 1 pm, Mass at 5 pm, then out to eat at our favorite restaurant, Christos! That was a busy day and the kids did great. That is also why we went out to eat. Although at the restaurant a lady said "Boy, I would have just stopped through the drive through at McDonald's and headed straight home after a day like that!"
The next day we had another confirmation in Zimmerman, MN at 10:30 am, headed to Becker to visit Grandma so she could meet Ava, and we were also able to visit Aunt Linda and Uncle Jim.
The next day we went to a funeral for a friend whose husband died.
So we went to five different churches in three days.
Mother's Day weekend I went to hear Jeff Cavins speak about the Great Adventure Bible Timeline Study. He is an awesome speaker and it was great to see him in person after watching him on DVD for so long. I am so excited to get this program going further at our parish. I have learned so much and have really gotten to know some amazing ladies.
May 16, Ava went to her first dance recital with mom. We were able to see some of our friends dance. It was very nice and they are very talented. I cannot wait for Ava to dance....especially ballet. That is what I always wanted to do (not as a child, but as an adult! or at least have a girl that did it)
The boys in the family have started Tai Kwon Do, and yes, that would include Steve. They are really enjoying it and then Mom and Ava have some girl time.
Ava has been getting bigger, of course. She is so good natured and so smiley!
Steve and I and friends from church won a silent auction for a Korean dinner made by our beloved priest, Father James (he is from South Korea). That happened last night (see now I am catching up). It was such an enjoyable evening (although Ava cried more than she ever has because she was not feeling so well, vaccinations?, teething?, a cold?, kimchi? (just kidding Father - I really like it!) Father James was an excellent host and prepared great dishes and we had a wonderful time talking and learning more about his culture and family. It was well worth every penny for it!
(This one is for you Bonnie! Thanks for reading and reminding me to do it!)
