Together for Six Years

Hi there,

Lots of news this month! 

Mother's Day gift from Amy
Becky and David moved back! We are so glad they are back and that they could meet Haley for the first time. Since then, Becky watched the kids several times, and we had the chance to get together with them for a game night. We are looking forward to spending time with this great couple!

My sister gave birth to her son on April 27th! Both baby and mommy are healthy and doing well. I am so proud of my sister and so excited for them! He is absolutely adorable! I wish I could have been there when he was born... But thankfully I was able to see him several times through skype! While it is not the same as in person, it will do for now. 

This past Friday was Amy's Kindergarten orientation. In less than two months, she will be in Kindergarten! She is very excited and cannot wait for school to start.

I am looking forward Amy spending time with other kids on a daily basis, and especially looking forward my time with Haley. When Amy was Haley's age, I spent every minute with her. We read, we played, we went for a walk, we learned, we did everything together. I recently noticed that Haley gets very little one-on-one time. I cannot wait to spend more time with Haley and get to know her better. I will finally be able to use my bike again! :) (It has a toddler seat on it, so I can carry one kid, but since Haley was born I wasn't able to use it, because I can't carry both of them on it.)
So Amy going to school is exciting for her as well as Haley and me! :) 

Today Chris and I celebrated 6 years together. It is amazing how many things happened in just 6 years. I am excited to see what will happen in the next 6. We are so thankful for each other!
An anniversary gift
(our vows)
Yesterday we had several hours without the kids, so we had a picnic in Deming Park (a huge park in town), played some games, went for a walk, took some pictures, enjoyed being outside, and just sat on our swing in our yard. We had a very fun, relaxing day. We are so thankful for our family and friends who watched our kiddos while we were together. 

Don't forget to send us an e-mail with your update or just prayer request or praise. It is always nice to hear from you! 

God bless!
The James family
