In all of the 5 and 1/2 years we have been here, the weather has never ceased to surprise us, except that we know that the blazing heat WILL scorch us throughout the summer. We had a the year of the flood, then the year of the fires, warm springs, cold springs, warm winters, cold winters and now a very windy spring... Weird!
Here are the boys in their coats, which I had put away for the summer...
Personally, I am loving it. It feels like Seattle. I would way rather be chilly in a jacket than sweating buckets with no way of cooling down.
Our favorite little friend had a birthday party at the park last night. McKay Miller is one now. We had so much fun that we think we will start crashing ALL their family functions.
Just look how cute his cake was!! My friend Mary Lynne is super talented, is she not?
And look how cute he is!! He has grown some since I posted pics of him a year ago.
My boys love McKay. Brennan calls him "Kay" and when I told him we were going to see him he said "Kay? Yay!" and clapped his hands. Kaeleb asked "How old is McKay turning?" I said "He will be one." He asked, "So is he going to start saying something?" I giggled.
Brenny is really getting into talking. Yesterday at breakfast he fell off his chair and wailed "Fall down! Bonk! Ear! Sad!" He said it over and over while Daddy held him. At the park last night he got "stuck" on a platform and couldn't find his way down. He said "Mom, me, down, here." That very nearly counts as a sentence, wouldn't you think?
Our Kaeleb is learning about bugs in Preschool. He told me all about how ladybugs open up their shells to let their wings out when they fly and how caterpillars eat and eat before they go into their chrysalis to change into a butterfly. I love hearing how much he is learning and watching his mind develop. Sometimes I can't figure out how any one person could grow and learn so much in 4 and 1/2 short years.
Kwint and I are happily busy. We are so thankful that the Lord led us down the TurningLeaf path. It hasn't been easy doing the private practice thing, but it has been so filled with blessings. We feel so good about the programs and watching people find hope. Obviously he gets to see more of that than I do, since he is there for 40 hours a week and I am there for two, but I am glad to make my little contribution and I love my clients.

YOur boys are way cute. It sounds like they are both at the sames stages as my two. I know what you mean about them learning so much in such a little amount of time. The little sponges.
We feel so honored to be part of your post! We're so glad you guys came and are glad you had fun. McKay is always entertained by Kaeleb and Brennan. I'm pretty sure they are his favorite kids. Thanks for helping make his party special!
