We welcomed out first niece, Ivy, on May 3rd! I drove up to VA with the boys to meet her and surprisingly, it was an easy trip. Ivy is so sweet and we look forward to watching her grow.
Mother's Day was the 9th and we had a great day. My Mom was here and Randy's Mom came over. It was nice to spend the time with everyone. Randy made breakfast for everyone and we spent the day just being together. I love being a Mom :)
On the 10th John graduated from Emory. We left the house at 6am to get to the 8am ceremony but as always something happens to throw a wrench in things. Jake decided to wait to poop until we were in the car and this one closely resembled the incident we had a few posts back. Outfit destroyed. Luckily, I did have an extra set of clothes for him, but the clean-up took about 20 minutes putting us behind schedule (as usual). We finally made it to Emory and Randy dropped Ethan and I off to go meet the Folks, Grandpa, & Aline at our seats.
Traffic was so bad that Randy didn't make it to the ceremony until about 45 minutes in. The key speaker was Arnold Schwarzenegger and he was really entertaining. We all enjoyed his speech. With graduation under John's belt, he has taken a job in Rome, GA and will begin his professional career as John Goodrich, DPT. He has worked so hard for this and is an inspiration. It is easy to say we are very proud of him!
We had such a fun weekend having everyone around. We did miss Dan, Stephanie, and Ivy, but at least we will get to spend lots of time with them while we are on vacation next week. It was really cute watching Great Grandpa play with the boys and it's awesome that they are able to get to know all of their family, as family is the most important thing to me.
Tomorrow is Ethan's 3rd birthday party as Chick-Fil-A, and then his actual birthday is on Tuesday. We are looking forward to watching him have fun with friends!
