Spring Has Finally Arrived!

The months of April and May have went by in a blur.  John finally started back to work at Glen Erin Golf Course in the middle of April (as soon as the weather and course were in good condition) and we have all been adjusting to the new routine of opposite work schedules.  London gets to have time with John in the morning and spends the evenings with Amber.

London's sitter Jen and her two daughters Ale and Brooklyn come everyday during the hours when John and Amber are both working and London just loves Jen and playing with Ale and Brooklyn.  It has worked out so wonderfully!

During the first week in April Amber was on her spring break and was able to take London up to Appleton to spend some time with her family and help plan her mother Diane's wedding which is coming up very quickly!

The weekend of April 19th through 21st was Trivia in Stevens Point where John's team Festivus for the Rest of Us took 2nd place overall!  Amber, London, Auntie Michelle and Michelle's friend Melissa traveled to Stevens Point to cheer on FFTROU and to visit Grandma Mary and Grandpa Mike.  London also got to meet our friends Greg, Ellen and Charlie Kaye while we were there.

During the first weekend in May Amber and London traveled to Crivitz for Great-Grandma Georgene's surprise 75th birthday party.  It was a lot of fun to see all the cousins, aunts and uncles.  The rest of the weekend was spent in Appleton hanging out with Uncle Adam, Becky, Grandma Diane, Grandpa Steve and Great-Grandma Betty.

After Amber and London got home to Janesville we all went to the park for London's first time on the swing and her first ride down the slide.

The next weekend was Amber's first Mother's Day.  London and John did a very good job picking out a blue topaz and diamond necklace (blue topaz is London's birthstone).  We all spent the day together going to church, having breakfast together and going for a family walk.

During the next two weekends John and Amber attended two weddings.  On May 18th was the wedding of Ladd and Betsy and on May 26th was the wedding of Amanda and Jeremy.  Both weddings were wonderful and London got to spend some time with Auntie Michelle on May 18th and with Grandma Diane and Great-Grandma Betty on May 26th.  We are so lucky to have such great friends with whom we get to share their days with and we are also so blessed to have amazing family take care of London so that we can attend these events!  Thanks!

And now we're into the month of June already!  We started to month out with a trip to the Todd School Carnival on Saturday and then heading to Milwaukee for a balloon release for Grandpa Vern at the cemetery and lunch with the family at 8-Twelve MVP (which was delicious!)

London loves to balloons.

It is hard to believe that the end of this school year is nearly here (only one more day with the kiddos!) and that we have a six month old!  Watch out world!  

Until next time Go Pack Go!
