May 2017

 Besides other blog posts for this month, we've had some pretty great events. Ty graduated from Pre-K. He went to Kids' Stop just up the road from us. It is a free state-wide program. I think a lot of people used it as a day-care, and I often felt bad that it was full day, five days a week, but in the end, it was good for him. He liked his teacher, Miss Jessica (pictured above), and got into a good routine to prepare him for kindergarten next Fall. 
 Summers in Georgia are HOT and HUMID! We cooled off as best we could with water activities. Above is the kids at the fountains downtown. Below is a sweet Mother's Day present: a van wash!
 And lastly, a few more pictures of everyday Lucy. As you can see, she's a mess about half the time, but super cute, sweet, caring, and full of personality all of the time.

Tie Breaker On The Way!

 I've always wanted to do a gender reveal cake, but I was too excited to find out if our baby was a boy or girl to wait, so I decided to do it for the kids. Ty wanted a boy and Lucy wanted a girl.
 And...

It's a GIRL!

Upon hearing the news, Ty ran out of the room, but Lucy is excited about having a baby sister. We're excited too. To tell the truth, I wanted a girl simply because I thought it would be fun to have two siblings close together of the same gender. I want Lucy and new baby to be friends. And I know Lucy is going to be the BEST big sister. This baby is VERY lucky.
