The following Sunday was Mother's day, and although it was a bummer that we had to take my mom and dad back to the airport, we had a very nice day. The girls got me flowers and a card, but being the mother of those 2 amazing little girls was enough of a gift for me! After dropping off my folks we did a little shopping at a nice outdoor mall in KC, then we headed back to Topeka and went to Outback for my Mother's Day dinner. YUM!
The rest of the month has flown by! Sadie turned 9 months old and went in for her 9 month check up last week. She seems to have slowed down on the growing, and is now just under 20 pounds. Instead of being in the 90th percentile on height and weight like she has been at the last few check ups, she is now in the 70th percentile. I think her constant crawling and pulling up is giving her a good workout because even her clothes (and diapers!) that were beginning to get a little tight on her are now fitting her perfectly again. Here's Sadie on her 9 month birthday:
Some close friends of ours are leaving today to move to Florida and it seems like we have been doing something with them almost every day for the last week and a half. That's one of the hardest parts about being in the military, it seems like you are constantly saying goodbye to friends and family. We did have a nice Memorial day weekend though, we didn't do much, but we spent a lot of time outside because the weather here has been amazing! We ended Memorial Day weekend by going to "one last" dinner with the whole gang last night.

Sadie and Maddi on Memorial Day!
