Catching our Breath..continued

Let's continue our catch up posts with the month of May....

During the month of May, we started to get back in the "groove" and began to get more accustomed to our new "normal."  Although there were still many days (and there still are) when I would wake up and be in disbelief that I was a mother of four children, but it was in the month of May that I started to get out with the kids on my own more and began to learn the tricks in staying home with four kiddos.  The babies continued to grow like weeds and were eating every two hours around the clock.  We kept them on the same schedule, so when one work to eat, we woke the other.  The twins had their 2 month well check visit with Dr. Boe on May 28th. Both  Holden and Wyatt weighed 12 lbs. 4 oz. (70th percentile) and were the exact same length at 23.25 inches (45th percentile).

My favorite day of the month was Mother's Day. We started the day by taking the whole family to church and then headed to Monical's for lunch which is a family favorite.  It was an awesome Mother's Day spent with my four kiddos.

 

Addy's t-ball season started in May.  She loved playing and had some great hits off the tee during her first game.  After the first few games, they moved from the tee to "coach pitch" and Addy did great hitting a "live" ball.  She loved playing first base and pitcher and made many great friends throughout the season.  She played two games each week and we packed the whole family up for most of the games. 

 

Addy's last day of Pre-K was on May 23rd.  She was excited to be on summer break but was nervous about leaving her Pre-K teachers and about entering Kindergarten in the Fall. 

We continued "Freihaut Birthday Palooza" in the month of May by celebrating mine and Carter's birthdays.   All six of our birthdays fall in the months of March, April, and May which will certainly make for a festive spring in the upcoming years for our family.  I wrote about Carter's birthday in a previous post.  He celebrated becoming 3 with a Toy Story party and a trip to the Field Museum to see the dinosaurs.
