The Blooms of May...

We enjoyed our first roses of the year this month, and it seems as everything blooms in our yard so does our life here in Folsom. We are doing more and more things with people, some of whom we can say are moving from acquaintance to friend. There are tons of young families in our community and so I have had no shortage of playdate buddies. As far as activities go, on Mother's Day we visited Clarksville, a local ghost town that held an "Old West" living history event. The kids and I have also been enjoying the start of "Thrilling Thursdays", which is a weekly fun activity organzied by our friend Emily for the summer. We've been getting out for lots of "regular" things like jogs by the lake, little dips in the pool, playing at the park, etc. We even hosted a Memorial Day BBQ with 8 adults and 8 kids bringing tons of life to our rockin' back yard!

This month Caelyn also crossed the threshold of mobility, which has gotten mixed reviews from her Big Brother as she is continually following him and wanting to play with his toys. However, when she's doing her own thing he tends to gravitate toward her and join in whatever she's doing. "I can't live with or without you".... As for me, I don't know what I'd do without those two Munchkins!

On another note, we are thrilled to announce that my brother Anthony and his wife Mallory are proud parents of a new baby boy, Mattox Garrett, who joined our family just last week!

How adorable! I can't believe how big Caelyn has gotten and how smiley she is! I wish I could come and play for a day!
