May is here!

What a beautiful day! So warm and sunny still, despite word of rain for the week. The girls can't enough of the outdoors and riding bikes and such. The girls are down now and I thought I would post, quick. Jesse has a long day today, he won't be home until late. I went to Bible study this morning with the girls. Then, headed over to my appt. with Joy. Baby is still busy kicking and growing. I am 26 weeks! Sometimes that seems far along and then the next day I feel like August is so far away. My back pain continues to be a nuisance, but I have been diligent in my stretches and increasing my exercises. I hope this continues to help. We have been doing some garden work. It is tilled. We have some strawberry plants in and the raspberry bushes. I planted spinach, carrots, beets, and radishes with the girls this week. They can't wait to plant the watermelon and pumpkins. We planted some bean plants in cups indoors with them to watch and care for while we wait for it to warm up. And we tried planting tomatoes and peppers indoors this year, but they aren't looking so great so I might still have to but some bigger plants in a couple of weeks. Other than that, just doing a little spring cleaning. We sold the Durango and now have a Windstar. The girls are ecstatic. Me, I never thought I would own one. But I am thankful for a vehicle. Hadassah thought we bought a firetruck. Or at least that is what she told Nana and Papa when they stopped by. It isn't even red. Not sure where that one came from. I also painted an accent wall in our room and the girls'. Not a good idea for my back, but I like how both rooms turned out. We had everything except the bathroom sprayed in one color when we built b/c I was pregnant and not up to painting everything. Well, I have been wanting to add a few splashes of color. I will have to take a couple of pics and add those the next time. I also have a couple of new recipes we have enjoyed recently and I hope to add those, too. Yummy. Time for a snack for baby and me.
