Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you kind and giving mothers. I, Michael, noticed that there hasn't been much in the way of posts lately. I guess I'll give it a shot.

Samantha had a ballet recital last weekend and performed as a ballerina and a "lost boy". Believe it or not, the frown is a pose. It's a pose that comes naturally to her.


Her grandma and grandpa Stone were there along with Eliza. We're glad they made the trip and had a nice short visit with them.

We also refinanced our home last week. This brings our mortgage to a 15 year loan at a 2.875%. We will be glad that more of our payment will be going to principle so we can earn equity at a quicker pace. If we end up here, we will have our home paid off by the time Samantha's eligible to serve a mission. It doesn't seem like such a long time.

William grew his first tooth. It is on the bottom middle. He is so handsome and really good for the most part. He can put himself to sleep at night with a bottle or binky.


We are going on a family trip to Illinois beginning May 31st. We are so excited. We are starting to potty train Zach. We won't be going full haul until we get back from our vacation. Zachary called me at work today to report that he perfomed a number 2 in the potty today. We are all so proud.

As many of you know, our move to Germany got put on hold a few weeks back. They have no idea when they will have the money to send us over. We are just living life like we are not going until they tell us that they have the money to send us. At that time, we will decide what to do.
