12 on the 12th May

11.      We woke up this morning with my parents still in Town.  Shane and Kim came for the weekend and we had a great time playing, swimming, going to Organ Stop, cooking and being together.  They left and my parent stuck around for Tyler’s graduation and to see more of baby Alyssa.  Grandpa sure loves his grandkids and despite Mariah’s constant pushing away, he still tries to persuade her to like him.  Grandpa has been having severe pain in his lower back and despite lots of doctor visits hasn’t been able to figure out what it is.  We are all really worried about him and praying for his health
2.    
   Jackson had his Kindergarten graduation and Grandma and Gpa came to support him.  Gma is staying for 5 days to watch you while I go to Dallas with Dad to search for a house for us.  She is so loving to the grandkids.  She is active and physical with them.  She takes them to parks and plays rough and horsey.  She is patient and attentive.  She is a wonderful Grandma.
3.       I spent much of the day emailing realtors, property managers, lenders and other people to get ready for our house hunting trip.  I really an anxious about finding the right house in the right neighborhood and price range.  I am nervous about getting approved for a loan, getting a realtor to have full time attention to us, etc.  I am a normally anxious and nervous person, so when big changes come it really makes me have anxiety.
4.       Our beloved swing set.  We’ve had this a little over a year and the kids and neighborhood kids love this thing.  We are sad we are selling it and have to leave it behind.  The kids love to play mom and dad and rocket and other various games on it. 
5.       Hallie is cuddling with the new bear Jackson made at his field trip.  She learned to buckle herself in the car seat (Hallelujah!) and is still wearing her pretty pink dress, although not so often since I’ve found some suitable alternatives. 
6.       Jackson and his teacher Mrs. DeMarco.  She had a baby a few weeks ago so saying goodbye was a bit anti-climatic, but she came back to say goodbye to the kids for graduation.
7.       Daddy’s been traveling for work a lot and he was leaving again today, so he likes to spend time cuddling and kissing his kids before he goes.  He is a great daddy to them.
8.       More kisses from Daddy to Hallie at Jackson’s graduation
9.       Mariah looking at me from her car seat.  She is much too big for this, but it is still so convenient that I have a hard time moving her.
10.   Our family at Graduation.  I sure love my smiley kids and my happy family.  We are so glad to be going together to a new place.  At least I know we can have happiness together!
11.   Jackson and a few of the kids in his class.  We only got to know couple of kids outside of class.  Ava lived right around the corner from us, but unfortunately, never really got together.  We babysat Wyatt a couple of times.  And went to 3-4 birthday parties for school friends.  Jackson liked school and friends and he seemed to be well liked by others when I would go visit, but none that he feels is a best friend. 

12.   Every night I say to my kids “I love you today, I love you tomorrow, I love you forever!” and I found this jewelry in an ad on the airplane.  I
