Special visitors ;)

On Monday we had some very special visitors- The MacDonald girls aka my sister-in-law and nieces!! It was so good to see all of them and it was great to finally meet the newest addition (Kailee). Sadly, Will was being a stick in the mud (I'm being nice when I say that) and he didn't want to share anyone or anything. I really hope next time he will act better! At least we were able to get some cute pictures of the cousins.
(I have a lot of pictures, but not enough energy to post them all!)

I loved having them here!!! (We're hoping to see them on our way to Guam in August.) It was nice to see Hailey the big sister and her little doll baby sister, Kailee AND they're great mom- Claudia. (My brother Leevi is currently deployed, but will be back later this year *hopefully*)

My version of "Who's who?"

While cleaning I found a picture of myself at Will's age. I wanted to share it to prove he DOES look like me! :)
What do you think?

Trying to catch up

Where do I begin?
Last week the camera charger was misplaced. After going a long week without being able to take pictures James found the charger! Yay!

Aside from that, our orders got approved. Now we're awaiting the hard copy. Once we have that we will know the exact dates that we leave, movers come, final out of the house, shipping of our car, etc. Fun, fun.

Will is doing great! However, the other evening on our walk we made a stop by a park. He loved running around and playing on the playground. Come to find out he LOVES slides! Well, he climbed up past the little kid area to the big kid slide (it was well over my head). I knew I wouldn't have time to run up and get him, so I opted to catch him at the bottom. Instead of sitting down, he thought it'd be funny to walk off the slide. Needless to say it did NOT end good. He plundered down the slide in a cartwheel -like ping pong ball, but instead of using his hands his head hit. I was scared beyond belief! His cheek and head landed on my foot. I grabbed him and sat down to assess the damage. Other than being shaken up he walked off with a scratch on his cheek (from my shoe) and scratches on his right knee- that's it! I kept him awake way past his bedtime just to make sure he was ok. A day later and he's doing just fine! Thank you God!!

Recently, I started babysitting for a military couple. I've watched the boy before and he is a great kid! Now, I have 3 kids under the age of 3 for about 3 hours (sometimes longer) during the work week. The boy's little sister is 7 weeks old and is just a doll! I was a little worried about how Will would act with a baby around. Surprisingly enough he does wonderful. He is very caring, sweet and patient with her. I'm having fun with the 3 kiddos.

We've had some other drama go on over the past weekend, but its all worked itself out. I am tired and can't think of much else to say. So, I hope you enjoy the pictures!
