Update, Update, Update

Well I am so sorry for the length of time that it has taken me to update the blog. Easter feels like it was so long ago. I will post a separate blog with pictures that I have from the past two months, but I will use this one to just inform you of what has been happening in the Bernhardt Family. The month of April was pretty quiet around here. Elizabeth turned 3 and had a Dora birthday party. We had her friends in the neighborhood over to celebrate. She got her first big girl bike. She is growing so fast and it is hard to believe that she is already three.

Then came May. May was also quiet around here. We took the kids to see a Yankee game in NYC. Todd really wanted the kids to see the stadium before it is taken down. We were only there for a day, but we had a great time. Everyone enjoyed swimming in the pool and the kids have asked if we can go back there every year. We do have to say that prior to our game the Yankees had been on a losing streak. They won the night that we went and then their luck has turned around. The boys like to think that they are the reason for the turn around.

Then last weekend Tyler and Eric received their 1st communion. It was a great day and we had a little party for them after at our house. They were excited and really enjoyed the day. It was a special moment for them. They are a little sad because our priest is leaving our church to go to another church in the same parish group. We do not know who the replacement is yet. Tyler really likes Father Mike and thinks that he is very funny. He has made CCD and church a lot of fun for the boys. We will miss him.

Now we are into June. We are winding down the school year and getting ready for a few hectic weeks. A week from now will be the boys last day of school. We are leaving next Saturday for 9 days in Disney World. We are all very excited. We have been watching the videos from the last time we were there so that Elizabeth and Alex can see what it is all about and Tyler and Eric can see what they did when they were 20 months in Disney. We are going with my sister and her family and the kids are excited to spend time with their cousins.

We fly back from Disney on the 23rd. When we fly back my dad will be there to pick up the four kids and bring them home and Todd and I are getting on another plane. We are going to Puerto Rico with Todd's company. He won a trip this year and we have to leave on the same day that we fly home from Disney. It will be a crazy couple of weeks, but we are looking forward to both trips.

I will fill you in on how everything goes and I will be sure to post pictures soon. Have a great June!!!
