May Days

I wanted to update the old blog even though there are not to many updates-not on the adoption front anyway.  We are still waiting for LOA (letter of approval).  I think we are on day 76 or so now.  There has been word of some delays due to the swine flu.  We are hoping all that goes away and LOAs will be here soon.  In the meanwhile we have been enjoying our May days at home.  We love spending time outside in our yard. All of our flowers are blooming and there is a nice breeze in the evenings.

Last weekend Erin came home for Mother's Day and we enjoyed having time together.  We all hate to see her go back Monday morning.  She just finished her last exams in her graduate studies at Tulane with another 4.0. We are so proud of her!

celebration with family

We attended Layla's First Communion Mass this morning.  It was a nice event with family and cousins.  Olivia and Ave Kate are always so happy to see all of their cousins and I am always happy to be able to spend time with my sister and my nieces.Beautiful Layla
