I bought the boys a new swimming pool and set it up in the back yard. They’ve been swimming and soaking their clothes when playing outside.I love having a patch of grass and a finished yard. Just today some friends came over and helped Stephen set up the sand box again. The boys played for hours!

The nursery is progressing slowly. I’m planning aqua, yellow, and coral for the colors. So far, I’ve purchased aqua curtains, a coral rug, and a yellow cushion for the rocking chair. The other day I began taping the baseboard in hopes that the walls will be painted soon. I need to pick out a shade of aqua that complements the curtains. The nursery drawers and closet are filling up with hand-me-down clothes and gender neutral things I have from the boys.

Silas completed his Kids4Truth catechism book which means he’s learned a total of 60 catechism answers. He’s so excited to get his “golden pin” award!

Cooper has learned to pedal his tricycle and is saying so much these days. I love having conversations with him. At dinner the baby was kicking me, and Cooper leaned down to my belly and said loudly, “Baby Sister, stop kicking Mommy!”
