Mother's Day came and went. No pictures. Why? I have no good explanation other than I had planned on taking a lovely picture with my three babies and it never happened. I did have a great day, minus some very crabby children. I was able to sleep in and then the kids and Tom brought be breakfast in bed. Noelle loved telling me "Happy Mother's Day Mommy, you're the best" every few minutes and it was very nice to hear. Max would chime in too but his soul pleasure on weekends is Daddy.

The beginning of May always has a ton of birthday's for us. Charlotte turned 24 on May 6th, Tom's brother turned 37 on May 9th, Granpa Goodhue turned the big 4-9 on May 12th, and of course Tom turned 31 on May 13th. We hope everyone had a wonderful Birthday! We have no pictures from Tom's birthday celebration, again. Instead of a cake Tom wanted me to bake him some cookies. I got a wonderfully delicious recipe from a friend for chocolate chip cookies that Tom fell in love with last time I made them. Noelle and Max and Violette helped me bake the cookies and we gave Tom a deep fryer. This present is, of course, helping out his high blood pressure and cholesterol! It is something we have wanted for awhile now and will be put away for special occasions only!

Saturday the girls and I drove in to St. Clair for my cousin's wedding shower. Marie is getting married on June 12th and this is the wedding that Noelle and Max have the privilege of being in. The girls looked adorable in their dresses


We had a wonderful time at the shower. Noelle was shy at first but after getting some food in her stomach she was helping Marie open gifts and claimed that was one of her favorite times of the shower. Seeing my Mom and sister was wonderful as well. Also being able to see my aunts and family friends was a huge highlight of the trip. Here are some pictures, because I did use my camera, finally! I'll add one of Max, even though he wasn't at the shower, my boy needs to be in at least one picture on this post!



I did schedule a longer ultrasound for June 3rd. If the baby cooperates then we will find out the sex. I am going to have the tech, baby willing, write down the sex and then we will open the result as a family. I'm still feeling that this baby is a boy, Tom is thinking we are having another girl. We actually made a bet and the winner will enjoy picking a weekend day and being able to sleep in, uninterrupted, until 11am! That is HUGE in our house!
