We've had a nice week so far. I'm so glad we are back to normalness - if that is possible with us. :) The kids are doing great.

Ryland is into the final month of school stuff. There are just so many things going on. I just can't imagine what it will be like when we have 3 in school. The calendar will be full! Next week I'm joining Ryland and all the kindergarteners for their field trip to the Dallas Zoo. We are looking forward to it. Ryland was really disappointed last fall when I didn't join them for the Pumpkin Patch trip. So I decided I better go this time. We've never been to the Dallas Zoo, so it should be fun. Also next week is Field Day at Ryland's school. Of course, he wants me to go and watch him compete. I haven't decided if I'm going to volunteer to help yet or not. I kind of like the idea of just showing up for his events.

Raylee is well into her 2's. She developing some attitude that needs curbing, so we are working on that lately. She is just so cute though. It's hard to get on to her sometimes. :) She is getting much better about communicating her thoughts and feelings though. I remember finally getting to that point with Ryland, so I know what a relief this is to be to this point. She is able to tell me what she is wanting and feeling - so much better than crying.

Reese is growing so fast. I just can't believe she will be 1 at the end of the month. She finally popped 2 bottom teeth in last week. Still no sign of any more though. She is getting close to walking. I've seen her barely holding on to things lately when she's standing. I don't know that she'll be walking by her birthday, but probably soon there after. Reese is also developing an ornery personality. She enjoys picking on Leland and I. She will tap our shoulder and look away when we look at her. She's really quite funny.

Leland is enjoying the end of school. It is still so strange to not be scrambling to finish a yearbook. The yearbook will actually be delivered next week! Leland has one more newspaper to do, but other than that, he's caught up. It is so nice to have him home in the evenings and him not stressed. He is really looking forward to the summer and getting to spend some time working in the yard.

I'm finally past all the tax season deadlines, so I'm not stressed either. I've been working on cleaning my house - like really cleaning - this week. It's nice to shower in a clean shower! :) I'm just enjoying my family and working some right now.j

Well, a quick shout out to our buddy Will Prather who turns 3 on Saturday. Raylee just this morning mentioned how she really needs to see her buddy Will. So cute. We wish we could be there for his birthday, but his parents know that we are thinking of him anyway. Enjoy the party!
