Actually, quite a lot.
New American. Kean was finally welcomed to the USA with a ceremony that had as much pomp and circumstance as a trip to the DMV to get your license renewed. Seriously, Regis and Kelly was on the freakin' TV next to the flag! We were the only ones celebrating in red, white and blue, but maybe we brightened everyone else's day a bit. The balloons that arrived at our house later that day put us all in a festive mood.
New pet. We found caterpillars on our playset in the yard about four weeks ago. We started with four, then three, then these two little critters who ate through endless oak leaves (I was about to steal some from the neighbor's tree) before finally (finally!) cocooning last week. We're praying for monarchs, but are setting expectations low, low, low because moths are more likely. (For a peek of our daily life, look at all the junk on the counter. Sheesh.)
New bed. I'm embarrassed to admit how long she's been sleeping on a mattress on the floor. She picked out her bed set, which fits her to a tee.
New season. Yay for warm weather and cute shorts and ice cream sandwiches and doing grass angels on our front lawn.
Still the most cute, mischievous, giggly, lovable kids on Earth.
