Well, now that's something to ponder, isn't it? Seems like they maybe bring more showers! Here it is... already the middle (well - it's still TECHNICALLY the middle) of May, and I haven't posted since April 1st. sigh...
I have a good excuse though - I just had SURGERY... (well, I got away with that for a few weeks at least...) April 17th I had my gall bladder (and the accompanying 2.5 cm stone) removed. I'm fine now. Lucky for me, Grandma Carleen took the twins to CA so they weren't climbing all over my incisions.
What else is new? Well, May 12th, Madeleine had the best softball game of her career! She managed to field all THREE outs in the first inning (against a team that was WAY older than her team - they were mostly 5th graders!!!), then she got a couple great hits and managed to score a run for her team! (did I have my camera? uh... no. The guilt is bad - don't make it worse!)
And, that afternoon, my Mother's Day present wormed her way in to Rob's heart... Her name is Lucy and she's a Golden Doodle (1/2 Golden Retriever & 1/2 Poodle). She's got a curly face and a sweet disposition. Since I was leaving for Southern California to retrieve the twins, we decided to wait to pick her up until today. She's acclimating very well - of course our household probably approximates the chaos she experienced with her litter - 8 puppies! Josie is remarkably accepting of this new addition to the family... Perhaps she is recognizing that the kids are more interested in playing with the puppy and she might actually get some peace and quiet!
Check out the picture of Maddie & Sophie - look carefully at the book Sophie is "reading" to Lucy... (Go Dog... GO!) Sooo cute! :)
