We had to say goodbye to some friends on April 11th and I didn't like it one bit! I'm not sure if I had any expectations about making friends here in Oklahoma but I sure didn't think I would meet and become such good friends with people so quickly! I know it's probably hard for the kids to say goodbye to their friends but I honestly feel like they are too young to fully appreciate what the sentence, "We probably won't ever see them again." really means. We did get to go to a goodbye party for them and we know that we can stay in touch.
Other than that, we've just done a lot of playing and exploring and learning.
Dusty has had quite an increase in his workload this week with a lot of new information to cover and a lot of tests and presentations (briefs).
Brian is really enjoying cub scouts and has earned his Bobcat.
Samantha is now doing homeschooling with Brian.
We celebrated Easter by giving talks in Sacrament meeting and completely neglected Easter Bunny duties. We continue to make new friends and grow closer to the ones we've made.
We have just over 2 weeks left and while we're all super excited to come home, it will be hard to leave our new friends. Enjoy the pictures!

Normally May day is one of my favorite little holidays and I completely neglected to do anything this year! Does anyone else celebrate May day?
Then another friend invited us over to do a Mother's Day Craft!! I was way more excited than the kids to be able to get out the scissors and glue.
Saturday, May 3 we went up to OKC again to the zoo. It was super crowded that day but we did get to see some animals we didn't see the last time we went. We didn't get a picture but the peacock squawked and then displayed all its feathers right in front of us. It was beautiful!
