Maggie's Finalization

On May 23rd Maggie officially became ours. The judge was thrilled to have an adoption. I gathered that his work for the day wasn't all so pleasant. He came right down to take pictures and wanted to hold the girls. Our families were there to support us and it was a good day.

Brad's parents were there.

My parents, Brandon, and Raquel were there.

The Judge couldn't wait to take pictures and wanted to hold the girls.

Wow Time Flies

So the last time I posted anything was in February and that is telling you a little bit about how beusy my life has been. Brad finished spring semester and has now started summer. I just pray he does well. We have a court date for Maggie and a sealing and blessing date. We go to court on May 23rd and are doing the sealing and blessing the first weekend in June. Zack has lost a tooth and the second one is hanging by a thread. He won't let me pull it because it hurts when I do it. He is also almost done with kindergarten. He can't wait for summer. I will finish teaching preschool for the year next week and am looking forward to not having to teach for a few months. Abby is a big girl now. She has a big girl bed. I am hoping she will potty train this summer. She is interested and likes sitting on the potty. She is also getting so big. She now says milk, purple, uh oh, and up.
We had a lot of fun for Easter. Cousins got together and looked for Easter Eggs and we went to Smiths for there candy hunt. We came home with so much candy we are still trying to get rid of it. Other then that we are just busy trying to keep track of all the kids and help Brad with school. We have decided that they should put my name on his degree. I wasn't planning on getting a degree in construction management. We hopefully only have a year left. I will be so glad when it is done. I am tired of dealing with the University. Anyway that is about where we are these days. I will have to post some pictures soon. We took some cute ones at Easter but will be getting some done with the sealing.

Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls. I will have to get some good ones posted. When I find the time to do it. We have been dealing with the flu this last week. Zack started with it and continued most of a week and then I got it and Brad got it. Luckily the two girls haven't gotten it. I am knocking on wood that they stay healthy. Maggie is 3 months now and still in newborn clothes. Some day she will get out of them. Abby is walking and a menace to society. Zack calls her Dennis. Zack is busy with school and looking forward to warmer weather.

Crazy two months

So the last 2 months have been so crazy. Between getting Maggie and the holidays we have been a little all over the place. I think we are finally getting into a routine. Maggie is doing well. She will go to the Dr. next week for her two month check up. Abby gets to go to for her 1yr check up as well. Zack is back in school and we just celebrated his 51/2 year birthday. I am celebrating half birthdays because Abby's birthday is so close to Christmas. On Abby's birthday we kept it low key and she got a present and then on June 30th we will do a big celebration. So on Zack's half birthday we went to McDonalds and he got one present and on his real birthday we will do the big celebration. It makes it easier on our budget around the holidays. Especially because we have two birthdays right around the holidays. I have taken some cute pictures of the girls. I will have to get them posted.
