May has come and gone, but I'm finally getting around to putting up some pictures of our little adventures. We started out the month with a fun field trip with extended family. We had a blast at a local park/farm. The weather was unseasonably warm, so we ended the event with a trip to get gelato.
My kids love their cousins and aunties!
May 19th we celebrated Kieran's adoption day. Words can not express what an amazing miracle adoption is to our family. We'll never forget those special moments when we met Kieran and held him for the first time. This year we went to the restaurant of Kieran's choosing and later watched his adoption video at home. It always puts him (and us) in a good mood to see how God brought him into our family.
We also celebrated Mother's Day, of course. The kids gave me a sweater and skirt for my birthday, so I decided to wear it on Mother's Day. Although I am not in love with the crazy floral pattern, I love that they chose it for me. (It is fascinating how fashion became trivial once kids were woven into my life.) I am proud of my skirt and proud to be the mama to two sweet babies who, by the way, are getting very big!
I told Kieran that he would soon be too big for me to hold him like this. His response, "Well, someday I can hold you in MY arms!" Wow, what a moment. It left me speechless.
For me, one of my favorite parts of being a mom is snugglin' with my kiddos every day and reading stories to them. From time to time, I post some of our most loved books on my Mom Thoughts blog.
