Its been a long time!

I've been remiss in posting in quite a while.

I'm sure my mother knows why - Our May schedule is about to be the death of us.

Here's a short synopsis of the past month:

• Michael earned his next belt in Tae Kwon Do; he's now a Green Stripe
• Both kids finished up their soccer season
• Samantha broke her wrist in her final soccer game and is in a bright pink cast until the end of June!
• Samantha's soccer team played in a tournament this past weekend and finished as "co-champions" in their division. Samantha watched from the sidelines :(. The final two teams were definitely evenly matched, but they decided NOT to go to extra time to determine the winner, as each team had already played a previous game that day and the temperature was in excess of 95 degrees!
• Michael's baseball team finished the season in 4th place and won their first playoff game - the next one is tonight (let's hope for the scheduled thunderstorms to come through and postpone the game and cool down the temperature)
• We spent Memorial Day weekend at the lake with my parents - photos to follow
• Emma had her quarterly checkup with her endocrinologist and her average blood glucose level came down a LOT! We're thrilled
• We participated in our 2nd JDRF Walk on June 1st. Together Mike and I raised over $4100!
• We had baby birds frequent our nest for the 2nd year in a row, and last week we had two ducks waddling through the front yard in the morning while a bunny rabbit was eating leaves off the flowers near the mailbox!
