We are back after a few weeks of craziness! David is healing well from his surgery. He is working SO HARD at his rehab. I know that he has a lot to go, but he really has come a LONG way already. He is down to using 1 crutch, and we are thinking that they will probably tell him he can do without that one beginning tomorrow (???). Anyway, we have had such a busy time with him recovering and not able to drive, and then he was out of town for 5 days, so Norah Kate and I were on our own! Is has been pretty difficult, but things are beginning to look up! Norah Kate seems more and more like a little girl and less like a baby each day I think. She is walking pretty good now. Lately she has been obsessed with wanting as many bows in her hair as she can get. Here are a few pictures. (There are 2 bows in the back that can't be seen in the pictures) Each time I would put one in she would clap her hands and say "ooooohh!" She looks so proud, huh? :)

On Memorial Day we were excited to be able to see our friends, Lance & Catherine, and their little girl, Elaina. Norah Kate and Elaina are 5 months apart, and just now able to really play together. I think they had a pretty good time. Norah Kate was so excited to take advantage of Elaina's new swingset! She wasn't so sure about the toddler swing we first tried...as you can tell...
But she LOVED the baby swing! I don't think she felt very secure in the other swing. Oh well. Look at that sweet face!
Elaina is a PRO at this toddler swing. So cute!
Well, we are looking forward to a GREAT summer!!! Right now we are trying to find a pool around here to visit...often! :) Hope that search ends quickly!
