The Russo's

We were able to go on the family beach trip with the Russo's again this year. This is the first time our family could go for the entire time. We were looking forward to it and the days went by pretty fast.  Grace rode in our car on the way there. Gianna was the only one who slept while Hudson and Grace talked and sang songs.   Our condo was waaay up on the 28th floor! It was a really nice and new place with a couple of pools and splash pad.   The water was pretty cold, so our kids wanted to stay inside at the indoor pool and hot tubs. They loved the hot tubs.  We bribed them with candy to stay outside, so we could get some sun :)  Hudson "laying" out  Everyone did the lazy river a few times, even with the water being cold.   Jennifer and Cadie fixed Gianna's hair straight one night. She looked very different and much older, but really cute.  It started curling back by the end of the...

My mom, sisters and I went for our annual pedicure for Mother's Day. Jen is here to join us now, so that was awesome! We did a little shopping after too. It was fun and we really need to do it more often.   Then, everyone came to our house where Josh boiled crawfish for us. It was my mom's first ones of the season, so she was happy.   At church Sunday, Josh gave me a CC's coffee, which is my favorite. After church, we left with the Russo's to go on the family beach trip. I love my two kiddos so much and can't imagine or remember life without them! They are growing up where we have real conversations and I see that they are little people- my little people!  When we came back they took me to get some running shoes and socks. I haven't bought shoes in years! I literally wore the soles off of my old ones. It's time to start running again  :) 

Five seems like such a big age and milestone! It's hard to believe how the years have gone by. We haven't gone for the 5 year check up, but on  April 2nd he went to the doctor and weighed 41 lbs (50%) and was 3'9" (90%) We saw him progress in soccer from the fall season to spring. He became more confident and became a good player. Some tears were still shed at times :)  Hudson asked Jesus in his heart on March 30, which was Josh's birthday. I was putting him to bed and he was asking me some questions about God. He then asked if I could help him because he didn't know how to do it. I called Josh in his room and he led the prayer with Hudson. It was a very sweet moment and I'm glad we were both there.  Likes to come in our bed if he wakes up during the night. He will fall asleep in the car on laying with Josh if he is really tired. He said, " a dream is when you think inside your head every night."  Likes soft pan...
