Friday's Fave Five: May 28

Somehow this week has flown by and been long at the same time. Is that possible?
I am thankful this morning. Thankful today. Thankful for life and family and friends. Thankful for Memorial Day weekend and the start of summer...let's get started on the specifics:

1. Visit from Grandpa. Our family can be confusing. Our kids have 4 sets of grandparents. 4 grandmas and 4 grandpas. They are going to think that EVERY older looking person is a grandma or grandpa! My dad came for a short visit from FL this week and it was great! I think babies and kids bring out a different side of people. Almost always. And it's usually (in my opinion) a side that hasn't shown before. I saw my dad's very loving and affectionate and fun side. I was surprised and delighted to watch him get on the floor and play with Micah. A lot! It was cute and our kids are blessed!

2. Micah loves water! I have always wanted my kids to love the water. I do. I love swimming and water parks and going to the lake...and I am so excited to share all of this with Micah (and hopefully Judah) as he grows. It is getting warmer here and we got out the baby pool yesterday. Mostly he just wanted to play with the hose (and chase me with the hose) but what fun to watch and enjoy!

3. Judah is growing. And getting more vocal and more animated. And more interactive.

4. Brotherly Love. Micah is getting much more loving (and sometimes in a tough way!) toward Judah. Yesterday was the first time Micah has completely held Judah by himself. And I have to say, even though Judah was very unhappy the first time, Micah did great, seemed very proud and shows great potential for being a sweet, protective older brother.

5. Kitchen Progress. The kitchen is coming right along. The floors are done! The walls are mostly done! We basically have one wall that we are going to do a different, brighter color and we are going to redo the counter tops. Excited for how it is turning out!
