Joy and Patches, we got to babysit this week – so cute, Jessi brought home an AB honor roll award.

Jessi received quite an honor from her LA teacher.  Each teacher gets to pick one student and Mrs. Nash chose Jessi.  Very kind.  Jessi went for a special breakfast where she and the other LA Superstars were recognized.

 

Wednesday Brother went in for his 18 month check up.  He is now 22 pounds 13 ounces and 31.5 inches long with an 18 inch head circumference.  That puts him at 12% for weight, 20% for height, and no head circumference change since October (which is fine since when his shunt failed his head got huge – now he’s just growing into it).  Everyone tells me what a big boy he is, but he’s actually quite small.  That’s OK.  I got out the adjusted Asian chart.  We think he’s just about right :) and the chart agreed.  50% for height and about 55% for weight.  Can’t ask for better!   He walked away from that visit with two referrals – one to ENT and one to Neurology.

Wednesday night Liz, Jes, Sam, and Bec went to the Stake Center to get their temple recommends signed by the Stake Presidency so they can go to the temple on June 7th to see Alex sealed to our family!!!

Kris came to visit us!!!!  Cute Zachary!

Wanted to preserve a typical morning’s likeness – Jessi reading a book while drinking hot chocolate, Sam with her cereal, Joy running around doing everything she can NOT to get ready

Joy is loving the access to paint supplies.  She insisted on helping Brother put on his socks.  He was very tolerate of his sister’s “help.”

Joy’s 6th Birthday

She has been so excited about her birthday! We have talked about it and she’s says, “Happy Dirthday! Happy Cake! Happy peasants!”

Jason took Joy out for breakfast.  Grandma Turpin sent Joy some money.  She bought a baby, a tea set, and a ball.

That afternoon we had pizza and presents.  We gave her a new swim suit (with built in floaties!), a great hat (she adores hats), and horse.

Our big excitement was going swimming – she has been asking and asking and asking!
