I am getting caught up on our blogging for May, so here are some shots of the girls to share. I should really capture more pics of the fun things we do - never seem to have a camera on hand! In May we had a great outdoor playgroup at the Fernstom house - they got multiple inflatable fun toys (bouncy house and pool etc) and we enjoyed the summer like weather playing outside. We got a new minivan (Vinnie 2 as Abby calls it) after the first vinnie got an "ouchers" (i.e. crashed) and had to, according to Abby, see Dr. Porter (our Peds) and then got new clothes (its a whole new car, but Abby nearly freaked at the idea, so we had to say that the new paint color was new clothes).
We took our first trip to the zoo of the season, and while most of the animals were snuggling close to their pens (it was cold!) the leopard was out and in full force. Since its Abby's favorite animal at the zoo, we deemed it a successful trip.
Abby's Mimi and Papa Osterink visited at the end of the month which was lots of fun. We took in the Portland Art Museum on family day, visited the "worm" park in Forest Heights, and generally hung out with Mimi.
We also made a visit to meet Herman the Sturgeon at the Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery. Abby and her friends saw the fish ladders and fed fish in the ponds, followed by greasy burger goodness at Char-Burger... mmmm....
Caleigh, for her part, was toted along to all these adventures and maintained her generally mellow demeanor. She waited until just after her Mimi left to start crawling and now she is getting around pretty good. Abby is obsessed with making up funny names for her and the one that has stuck is "Caleigh O'Malley" - so she calls her that all the time. I prefer to call her "stinker" because now that we have started solid foods, boy does she stink!
Now for the pictures:
