May Flowers Did Come

 Per usual, thanks to the old owners for planting flowers that come back each year. We (and Sawyer) have killed some in the back but the front is mostly staying strong. 

Muffins with mom in Levi's class! 

Leighton and friends (Lydia and Joslyn) 

Levi and his friend, Adam

celebrating Mr. Whiteman (Wes' boss and the kids' headmaster at WVA retirement) 

With my friends too, Devon and Emily 

Sadie and Leighton and I supported our friend's daughter, Marcella Missi's dance recital. She is 4 years old and the girls dote on her at church 

Backyard playing since its warmer out!

While they play, Leighton and I read Harry Potter (I am mostly doing it on audio book as the reader is great!) in prep for London trip

We watched the King's coronation since it is a historical event and to prep for our upcoming trip! 

And still trying to find time to bike around the neighborhood, especially to Rocky River Park for rock throwing! 

On Derby Day, Leighton helped me make pies for neighbors and friends! 

One that we took to Devon's ping pong party! 

In May, Levi had a follow up overnight EEG. He came to work with me the day he got it put on. I enjoyed having him in my cubicle. We made him a Cleveland Clinic badge and of course spoiled with food and the gift shop. 

And pictures around the house and out to Mitchells. We also supported our friends kids (Kohl twins) baseball game. 

All three kids had to come back with Wes to Levi's doctor appointment to follow up with Dr. Moosa on EEG results. The result showed his spike activity was about the same. That wasn't the news we were hoping for as we are still praying that he outgrows his epilepsy. The doctor said no change in his medications (on keppra still) and no steroid burst at this time as we do not note any deficits from the spikes (which is good). The kids have fun exploring my tiny cubicle.

Mimi and Big came up to visit and we celebrate Big and Leighton's birthdays with good food and a Cardinals vs Guardians game.

The girls got autographs at the cardinals game and Levi got a ball handed to him from Adam Wainwright, a pitcher.

For memorial day we spent the whole day from breakfast to dinner at our friends, the Kohls, just playing yard games and hanging out with them, Heberle, and Guertins. 

Levi had his friend Levi Kuzmal stop by for a bit

Lydia and Mariah Murtha (Leighton's friends) walked over for a bit too
