Lots to say

The kids have been doing great!  It was a busy month as Nathan earned his green belt in karate which means he was given nunchucks and Jillian had a gymnastics meet that I saw via video.  Jillian has improved greatly and earned second place for the vault and she also earned some third place finishes. Jillian had her science fair as school too.  Nathan had his six year check up and got a clean bill of health and in he is above the 90th percentile for height and weight.  Josephine has been learning to spell new words like go and see.  So much continues to change.

We also attend our first circus.  It was the Ringling Brothers "fully charged" show.  The show was absolutely amazaing with the acrabats, the human fuse (man set on fire and launched out of a cannon), stilt jumping basketball players, wheels of steel (the most entertaining part!!)

Jillian had a sleep over this past weekend. Her friend Emily came over and they made me a Mother's Day cookie.  All the kids made me amazing gifts from school and I got a really nice bracelet with a bead from each child (Jillian-cheetah, Nathan-blue and Josie white with pink butterflies)
