In the Deep Blue Sea Sea Sea...


The past week went by in a blur - I can't believe how much we crammed into it. Aunt Jordan came for a visit and we went back to the strawberry patch (Baylen got to come this time!) Brooklyn figured that there really was no reason to put them "in the bucket" this time - it is much easier to just place them directly into her mouth! After we filled our buckets (and a short trip to the dairy ice cream shop,) we took the strawberries home to make smoothies. On Wednesday, Jordan got a grand tour of Moultrie as we dropped the kids off at MMO and walked the Moultrie town square. Mumsy got here late Wednesday so we packed up the car Thursday and headed down to Thomasville to check out the downtown. Thomasville is very nice. The highlight of the day for the boys was eating at a restaurant that was the old train depot and as we ate the train literally rode right next to us - what a thrill.

The biggest event of the week was Baylen's Spring program. What a production! I have attached a slide show on the side of little video tidbits of the show. It was hilarious. The theme was the deep blue sea and the kids did a great job. Perhaps as you listen you might hear my son's new southern twang. He was so proud and you can tell they worked VERY hard. The school he is in is truly amazing and I feel very blessed that he is there.

Saturday was Baylen's last soccer game and he ended it with a bang - 7 goals! He also got his first trophy, which he didn't let out of his sight for the rest of the day. He really loves his soccer but I think we were all ready for a break - it was a long season. However, I get the feeling that this is just the beginning!

Lastly, Mother's Day was really great as we were able to be with both of our mothers and we all went to church and out to lunch for Mother's Day. We hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day as well.

Your pictures are so cute! Baylen is looking so grown-up! When Brad and I come to visit you at some time to be determined, I really want to visit the ice cream place! It sounds amazing! Give everyone a hug from us.
