TGIF! It is beautiful outside yet again and we are ready for summer. Yesterday was Leah's graduation from Discoveries where she has spent this past school year. The program was cute and Leah picked out her outfit (an orange flowery dress) very carefully the day before. There was also a potluck lunch afterwards. Chris, Chloe, and I as well as all four grandparents and AJay, Anna and Drea, and Anna's mom who is here visiting all made it for the big event. We left Reeve at daycare since her enjoyment of this would be minimal. She is becoming very active and pulling herself up and crawling everywhere.

We go back to Iowa City again next Thursday, May 17. Once again we ask for prayers for a great check-up and low AFP. I have Leah's appointments scheduled through July, so we will see what Dr. Rahdi has to say- hopefully not too much.

Last weekend Chris worked a long time in our yard on pulling out some bushes and putting in some river rock. It does look nice. I had the indoor detail which included more unpacking as well as laundry and cooking and childcare. My contributions didn't look as impressive as Chris'.

My school year ends on June 5th and Leah's ends on June 1st. Both are coming right up. We would really like to enjoy a summer of good health, so again, please pray for a very uneventful Iowa City visit.

I will update after our trip on Thursday. Thanks for checking in on us, and have a Happy Mother's Day!
