Now that is a sad sight.
We hope to hear something by tomorrow.

Random

These two sweet boys are so much fun, and they just love each other. E always wants to snuggle with B, especially before (or after) naps or bedtime. E will sing him songs and B just smiles and giggles and pulls E's hair.
This is part of Evan's preschool class. E had such a good time at preschool, and learned a ton! We are excited for it to start up again in the fall. On the last day the kids got to play in the sprinklers. They also went on a "Tiger Safari" recently, where they got to see and touch lots of cool animals. Here is E with his little friend Taylor at the safari.
We took a quick weekend trip to Memphis to see some of our favorite people and watch a few of them graduate high school. So proud of Taylor, Jordan and Alex! Above is Ben and Kari (I'm pretty sure that Evan has a crush on Kari.)
Evan loved hanging with his little girlfriend Reina. She's such a sweetie, and they had a blast!

I hate catching up.

We were lucky enough to spend some time with family in California recently. Nana and Papa were great hosts and we had such a fun time. John even got to play in a couple of golf tournaments!
Evan picked some flowers for Nana for Mother's Day. And we just enjoyed some good snuggle time with our cute boys.
Hooray for getting to visit with Great Grandma Stromberg lots and lots! It was so fun to see her. Evan thinks she's super cool.
Bailey the puppy got lots of snuggles while we were there. She also probably lost a few pounds, with Evan chasing her and playing fetch with her ALL DAY. He adores her, and totally wore her out.
We got to spend some time in Sacramento with Heather and the family. E and cousin Sophia played and played and played! John had good memories of the Train Museum in Old Sacramento, and couldn't wait to take his boys there. E loved it!
Ben and Nana got in some good snuggles too. Oh, how we love our family!

Six months

Ben turned six months while we were in California visiting family. This was as good a photo as I could get--he just kept lunging for the paper!
Evan says, "Ben is nice. He likes to play with me. He doesn't eat my toys. He sleeps. And plays. I laugh and it makes Ben laugh. Ben loves me." I second all that.
At his six month check-up, Ben weighed 18 lb. 15 oz. He was 28 inches long. Doc said that's 50-75% for weight and 95% for height. She had some concerns with his head shape, so he's having a CT scan next week. Yuck. They'll have to sedate him, which I'm nervous about. We're hoping everything is good, of course.
