May Memories

We got to get together with my college roomies

and their children this week!!! We each have 2 

kiddos-- each with a different combo-- Jill has 2

boys, I have 2 girls and Anne has one of each.

Faith (21 m)*Hudson (4yr-10m)*Grant (17m) *

Elizabeth (4yr-11m)*Milla(3yr-9m) *Philip(2yr-6m)

We met at Wills park in Alpharetta.  It is a neat,
wooden, fort-like park that had a lot to keep
the little one's attention--but, it was so big with
lots of secret hiding spots--it was interesting trying to
 keep our eyes on everyone.  No long conversations
for us-- we would say a few words and then
run off to chase someone down!

We apologized to our waitress in advance when
we arrived at Pure Taqueria...3 adults 6 kids--and
3 of the kids with food allergies--so we had
to ask a bunch of questions!  They
actually did great!  Cheese dip kept everyone
occupied! I have eaten there before---but it was
really, really good-- awesome fish tacos and
shrimp tacos! Already want to go back!

The Boys!

The Girls! You can't see Elizabeth's bow--but, it
was pink too.  She came up to me and said--"Maybe
you should get a picture of us all together since
we all have pink bows"--already has an eye for a
good photo opp!

Milla at her gymnastics performance!

Milla's "Tumble Tigers 1" class got to
perform at the end of the year gymnastics show.
She was SO excited about her medal!

Faith is a great sport too-- she sits in the stands
with me at practice week after week with the
other little siblings-- ready for her turn one day.
