We have been super busy. The Life2Orphans yard sale was at the beginning of the month. It was a lot of work but we made $500 for the kids. I am hoping to have another fundraiser this summer. I want to raise enough money to buy 100 sets of bedding.
Momma and Christopher at sale. My mom is in back ground. Christopher is wearing his harness leash - it may sound cruel - but he loves it. He was very good while at the sale.
The next weekend, Angela and Doug had a work seminar to attend - so their 3 kids (15 yrs, 2 yrs, 8 months) spend the weekend at our house. Christopher really enjoyed Olivia (2yrs) - but didn't like Cooper (baby) very much. Cooper took too much of his Momma's time. Hannah (15) was super helpful with all the kids - she is a very good big sister.

We had the flood of 08 - the same weekend that the kids were over- our cellar was filled with water - so Tony spend 2 days pumping and drying out our water heater and furnace. We were very lucky - we did not get affected near as bad as many people in the area.
Since the weather has been so nice - we have been going on walks around town each night and playing at the park.
Christopher still doesn't stay many words - but he does say "Mommy" very clear now. I love to hear it - and he melts my heart with his pretty blue eyes. He has been saying Dadda for six months!
I have a personal accomplishment too - I have been attending weight watchers since February and as of last week, I have lost a total of 30 lbs. That is more than my boys weighs (he is at 27lbs). I feel so much better and much more like myself.
