May...you exhaust me!

May is here...an exciting month FULL of fun, travel, and exhaustion!  Curtis is wrapping up his first tee ball season on the 15th.  It was a ton of fun and a great learning experience for him.  We are so glad that we signed him up and will definitely be playing more in the future.  Curtis also just joined his very first (of many hopefully) swim team.  He has always been our little fish and LOVES the water.  He truly enjoys swimming and is really excited now that he can actually swim some laps.  I love it when he turns to the swimmers next to him and says "wow, that was exhausting!  we did two laps!!!!"  One of the reasons I put him on the team I did was because of the head coach.  He was my coach in HS and I knew he would get a kick out of coaching a "little Schwartz".  Curtis has improved already in the first week of practice and we can't wait to see how much more he will improve before their first meet.  Nicholas is such a trooper right now, following big brother and waiting patiently during his activities.  I try to make it worth while for him with lots of special snuggle time, digging time, and of course lots of stick throwing :) oh and of course some M&M's if mommy is desperate!   I am constantly reminding Curtis that in a few months he will have to sit through gymnastics/swim lessons/or some other kind of class for his little brother and he better remember how patient Nicky is being now....

Jacob has been and will be a weekend guest at our home this month.  His project in Albuquerque is (prayerfully, hopefully, fingers crossed, hail mary pass pumped and ready...) coming to a close this month.  His hard deadline for travel is June 1st (thank you Andrew) so unfortunately, he will be practically living there until then.  We keep discussing how quickly this pregnancy is going to be over.  By the time he stops traveling we will be full term and ready to go.

Jillian is BIG and HOT :) loving feeling Andrew and all his antics in-utero.  33 weeks and blossoming in the heat of the summer...oyyyyy!

We had a wonderful weekend with my parents Cinco De Mayo weekend and stayed in the Woodlands to catch the Casting Crowns concert.  We really love them and it was a perfect first concert for our kiddos.  Everyone had a blast and it was definitely something we would all like to do again soon.
