Lazy May Days

We've been chugging along here at the Bailey-Gardner house. Savvy finished her swim classes and we have a break before she begins basketball (which she's really excited about), we did our annual Walk N Rock for Kids 5k walk yesterday downtown and got to visit with Marie while she was in town this weekend. D's been off for six weeks and finally returns to work tomorrow to a new position. She's been nervous about going back and we half-jokingly considered just adopting a bunch more kids and having her be a stay at home mom. She's keeping the option in her back pocket, but we have about nine months to decide since our agency prefers that you take six months after finalizing with your current adoptive placement before going back into match- and Miles is about three months away from being able to finalize. Whether or not we go the route of adopting a whole baseball team's worth of children I think we definitely will adopt at least one more-- and possibly two. I'd love to have another girl, and if we get another girl we might as well get another boy, too, and round out the numbers. But we'll see... we have time to think it over. In the baby milestone department Miles can now clap his hands, wave hi, say "Dada", make the sign for milk/bottle and is THIS CLOSE to crawling.

This year has been bizarre, weather-wise. It's June tomorrow and we still haven't had a day over 90 degrees all year. It's fantastic, but it also doesn't really feel like a Sacramento summer without the blazing heat that makes you crave a swimming pool. :) We're busy planning details of the kids' birthday parties and crafting favors and invitations. We're going with a baseball themed party for Miles and- by request- a camping themed party for Savvy. This is the first year we're going to attempt to do the parties at home, so we'll see how that goes. Now that Miles has joined the family we have all our birthdays virtually back to back. Miles is the beginning of August, Savvy's is around a month later in September, then D's at the beginning of October and mine a month later in November. It's going to be a festive season around here. Maybe I should just keep the party decor up until Thanksgiving. :)

Gotta run and clean the playroom. We're going through and getting rid of a bunch of stuff since the kids have WAY too many toys. Hope the tail-end of your weekend is a relaxing one.
