The Russo's

Hudson brought home lots of projects from school for me for Mother's Day. It is so cute to see what he writes.  He said, " I didn't know your favorite food, so I put mine" I love the last line!! I am thankful that God blessed me with these two kids! I love them and have been blessed to stay home with them while they were young.  We had lunch with Josh's mom after church We had dinner with my mom and family. I am surrounded by some great women and mothers between our families! 

We noticed in April that Willow was getting bigger around the mid section and then it was clear that she was pregnant.  We weren't sure how far along she was, but she looked bigger before we were going on vacation. Josh said we better leave her in the garage in case she has them. Our neighbor was going to check on her. We came home on Saturday afternoon from the beach and we open the garage to find she had 5 kittens!   2 weeks old  She had 3 boys and 2 girls. They are so cute! The kids have loved taking care of them and watching them grow.   They started getting very playful and climbing on stuff at 6 weeks.  They are almost ready to be adopted at 7 weeks. One of the boys is claimed (above on the right) and these are the others. I think we will have some sad little kids when they start leaving :(  It has been a great experience for all of us. 

We went on the family vacation with the Russo's on May 3rd. Everyone else left on Sunday and we left Tuesday afternoon. School wasn't out yet, so we didn't want Hudson to miss the whole week.  Gianna slept on the way and Hudson occupied himself, but they did ask "how much longer?" like 100 times!  We went straight to dinner at The Gulf to meet up with them.  We got all settled in and all the kids kept hanging out in our room :) Ready to hit the beach   They were into the sand and we could stay out on the beach for a while   Papa trying to catch crabs, but it wasn't working out too well   The water apparently got cooler when we got there ;( It was pretty chilly, but it didn't stop the kids from getting in   Gianna would be so cold when she got out and wanted to go to the hot tub, but we had her stay and warm up   They had fun riding the waves   There were a lot of do...
