May was a crazy month. First we started the month off with Forrest's Baptism and the Blessing of Colt. It was a very special day. Both boys did really well. We are very proud of Forrest for taking the next step and getting baptized.
We also decided what we are going to do with Eliza for School. Originally I was going to hold her back and send her to Kindergarten next year thinking that another year to get ready couldn't hurt, but then we found out that all services would be cut off. At our transition meeting we talked about sending her to the Alternative Kindergarten at Canyon View. They called it the Cadillac of Kindergarten. There is 1 teacher and 2 teacher aides in the room at all times to 10 students. They also have a variety of other people that come in to help out through out the day. She would be going all day, but she will get individual speech therapy twice a week and group speech therapy four times a week. They also do a lot of other fun activities like cooking class and art class. We just can't replicate that at home. Another plus is if we want we can still send her to regular Kindergarten next fall. That pretty much cemented it for me.
This past month Forrest started Cub Scouts and he is loving it.
Our next big thing was going to California this month. We did La Jolla beach, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, Disneyland and Huntington Beach. It was a lot of fun. Colt did really well even though we did horrible things like miss naps and keep him up way to late, but he did great. Forrest favorite part was going to Legoland and Eliza's favorite part was meeting the princesses. Overall it was a great trip. If I get some time I will give you all a recap.
On Saturday Greg hauled us all up to Waterfall Canyon. Greg wanted to do it while the water was high. The kids were great. Even though both fell a couple of times they never cried and Colt did great in the pack. I on the other hand am still feeling it in my hips.
To end our wonderful month Eliza was bit by a snake. On Memorial day Greg was out edging when he hit a baby snake. It didn't move for a little while, but then it started wiggling around. Eliza was fascinated by it and kept playing with it. The snake got tired of it and bit her. Luckily it didn't have any teeth, but it sure left an impression on her. Or at least I hoped it left an impression on her.
The month has been very busy, but lots of fun.

Sounds like a very busy fun-packed month. I love all the pictures. That's neat about all the services they have available for Eliza. Good luck with everything.
Oh, and it's good to see you blogging again :)
