Leah is getting so big and is walking all over the place! She loves to explore the outdoors and can not get enough of rocks?? Allergies seem to be bothering her, but she has been a trooper for the most part. Things have been busy as always! Travel soccer season started for Renee and Jasmine. Practice has begun for school soccer. Jake has already broken out the golf clubs and his first softball game was last week! As for me, Im just trying to keep up with everyone while I grow by the day! Just in case you have not heard the good news...we are having a boy!!! Yes, you read correctly, I did type "BOY!!" We could not be happier :) We are working on moving children and painting rooms to accomodate our new addition coming in July! We have also purchased a Honda Odyssey for easy travels...there was no way a family of six was going to fit in the Altima...unless Renee was willing to ride in the trunk :)
Here are some pictures from the last month
The girls in their Red Sox hats...they are so cool ;)

Leah's First Ice Cream Cone...it was so tiny, she ate it all by herself...with minimal mess!!!
I know this is a dark picture, Jasmine is standing with the cello on the far right, Renee is hiding in the middle somewhere! The girls were asked to be part of the 8th grade Festival Orchestra - they practice for weeks and then go to the high school to perform in front of 3 judges. They are evaluated in many areas, including site reading. Their orchestra received all ones - Superior Ratings!!! When we left, they were the only middle school that had scored all ones!! So proud of them!!
The girls after their performance
Leah giving her mama kisses ;) Shes so sweet (when she wants to be)
Who needs toys, just get her a DVD player, she seems to enjoy playing with that all the time!!!! ...and the computer, and the stuff on the shelves, the DVDs and games...as long as she is not suppose to play with it...she loves it!
The Innocent Leah, ready for church
Jasmine's Soccer Team after their preseason tournament - they took second place! It was a great tournament, they played really well!

My 34th Birthday...WOW!!!
Jake announced all the raffle winners at our company picnic, it was a fun day! Leah won a lego set (shortly after this picture, she threw the box on the ground!) I won a pop up tent and Jake won Latter Golf! This is the first time we have ever won anything. Jake and his partner also took second place in the Cornhole tournament.
Leah trying to get a feel for the Moonbounce before she entered! Shes so funny!

We went down to National Harbor and had dinner at Bond 45. Afterwards, we went to a Piano Bar...we had a wonderful night out!!!
This is what happens when the three of us go out for the afternoon. Happy Mother's Day Mom!!
You can only take so much of Michaels Craft Store before you pull out the Sword!!
Red Sox vs. Orioles at Oriole Park 
I think it felt like 100 degrees that day...it was so hot!! Jason Varitek's homerun landed 5 seats down from Jake...of course Leah and I were walking around..we missed it!!
The girls after one of their school soccer games - the team has only lost one game! They play their final game today...with a win, they advance to Regionals - GO POTOMAC!!
