Gabby's 1st teeth!
Gabby got her 1st teeth in at 8 months old! As you can see, she's pretty excited, and so are we.
Dining room table
I mentioned our new dining room table in our March newsletter, and here it is! It's 11 feet with the extensions, and 8 feet without. This is to be my heirloom table, to be passed down through generations. I'm hoping for many grandchildren one day and need a table that will seat lots of people! Of course, without the extensions, it's already perfect for our current family of 7. Each chair is about 30 lbs and the entire set is very sturdy. It's built to withstand the test of time. Visions of many future holidays dance in my head.... 
New Brick Patio
Our new patio is finished! It's twice the size of our old one in Gray, GA. We chose to use the same clay bricks in Savannah brown. Dan took a few weekends to do it, beginning early April and finishing Mother's Day weekend...but took a couple of those weekends off for other activities. A big thank you goes out to Bob, seen in one of the photos here, for helping Dan lay all those bricks during his vacation in GA! The best part was seeing the 2 guys working side by side again. It makes this patio very special. Thank you, Bob!!! Next of the agenda is a pergola over part of the patio and some planting beds around it. We're also getting ready to create a mosaic in blue and green glass adjacent to the patio where our fountain will rest. We've already christened it with eating our first dinner out here, and I'm sitting out on the patio as I type this! We're loving it!!!!

Dr. Seuss Hair
In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, Hannah's school had a different activity every day of that week. The week began with crazy hair....because all Seuss friends have crazy hair! Hannah loved her wild look. She wanted to keep it that way all week :)
Love Cats
LingLing & Sidney enjoy each other's company very much. Dan came downstairs at 2am one early morning and caught them cuddling together. So sweet!!! And for all the trouble they like to cause, it certainly is heartwarming to catch them being good :)
Whip Cream Team
Gabby is following in her siblings' footsteps. She opens her mouth for spray whipped cream right from the can! We don't allow her much, but she thinks it's pretty tasty :)
