As promised.....

A few more cheer pictures from last week. The girls spent most of the afternoon perfecting the cheers they learned at cheer basketball camp. They were having such a great time in the sun and everyone was included...even the smallest cheerleader.
The grand entry
Love that Millie is just doing her own thing!

Go Hornets!
After the cheering was done Millie wanted to play a little ball but first she wanted to pose for a few shots.
I can't remember what she was saying in this picture but the expression is priceless.

And remember those cute, fluffly little chicks that joined our family in March.......

Not so cute anymore.......
I never knew that chickens grow so fast! Really...it's amazing how quickly they lose that fluff and grow their feathers. These guys are pretty much free range during the day when we're home. It took them awhile to get used to the idea of roaming but now they're all over the place and it's really fun to see them pecking around the yard. We just have to keep the little girls from chasing them. Millie has no fear and loves to grab them and squeeze them....a little too tight....a bit reminiscent of "Of Mice and Men." We still have the original four and added two more to the family in May. Hopefully we'll be getting some farm fresh eggs by the fall.

Both the big kids are in camps this week. Maggie has all day soccer camp and Sam has half days of baseball. I was a little hesitant about all day for Lu but she had a great time today and has lots of good friends at camp with her. It's hard sending her off all day when it's summer but with her need for socialization we have to keep her busy somehow!

I still have a back log of pictures from Madi's graduation that must be posted this week! I WILL get to it! We are loving being home together and looking forward to getting all our adoption papework rolling this week. Check out the Henry blog for updates on that! In the spirit of my brother's creepy baby doll photography I leave you with this one of Jo and her baby Sugar. Happy Tuesday!
