The rain has been frustrating mostly because construction of our house has been at a standstill and also because the girls get fiesty when they're cooped up inside all day (as does their mom!) However, I know there is nothing we can do to control Mother Nature, so we try to make the most of it. My washing machine has gotten quite a workout washing all of the muddy puddle jumping clothes! Maya's new thing to sing is, "Rain, Rain, Go Away..." and "Look Mama...blue sky!"Another thing that has sparked the girls' interest are Grammy Joyce's new lambs ("lambys")! She has 4 little bum lambs that she is feeding and caring for. The girls LOVE them and it is always a treat when we get to go see them and/or feed them. They have already grown so much in a week and it will be fun to watch them grow this summer.
We have a new neice! Milan Grace was born on May 24th and weighed in at 9 lbs. She is a little cutie and has dark hair and eyes! Gabi and Maya are very excited!
Here is our annual Mother's Day picture! I'm so lucky to have two sweet little girls!
We made a trip to Billings on Tuesday for Gabi's appointment with the pediatric cardiologist. He did another EKG and Echo of her heart and everything looks wonderful! We will go back in one year to have it checked again. So thankful and so relieved. Our trip to Billings was definitely not ordinary. Since I-90 was flooded, we had to take the "scenic route" over the mountains. A two hour trip turned into a 5 hour trip...each way. Add to that a 25 mile stretch of highway under construction that at one time was gravel but with so much rain had turned into a potholed muddy mess. It was almost comical how bad it was. We also ran into some rock slides coming down the mountain as it was pouring rain that night. Crazy stuff! I'm supposed to run my 50 mile trail race in 3 weeks in an area that is still covered with 5+ feet of snow. I don't know how that is ever going to happen. We will see...
Thanks for checking in on us!
Love, Joe, Tara, Gabi, & Maya
