This bumblebee collecting pollen from our apple tree is a picture mom took in early May. Since then, we have had visits from Aunt Megan and Paul Adkins, with news that Paul is moving the family to Eugene, Oregon. Neither visitor brought kids with them, which made for extra nice adult time. Mother’s Day was really special and the kids and Dad went above and beyond making it fun and memorable. Katie is getting ready to wrap up her first year of preschool at Escuela Bilingue Internacional and her Spanish has taken off. At the parent teacher conference we were told she has the most advanced language of the non native speaking kids. She’ll start her Mid-K program there in the Fall. Ben is still tiny but he acts like he’s big. He’s talking a ton and discovering a love for bugs– mostly ladybugs and roly poly’s. He’s sleeping in a big boy bed now. The transition was much easier than it was for Katie. The kids are still getting along really well, with Katie as the protector. She is as proud as we are of his many recent accomplishments.
