Today I am 3 years old and once again I have a lot to fill you all in on. I have been doing lots of fun things like going to Iowa for Tulip Festival, participating in events around town and so much more. Here are several pictures to catch you up on things. Sorry that it has taken me so long to get this posted.
Mom dressed up with me and we went down to Windmill park for the parade
My cousin Maddie joined us for this picture. She sure is fun.
We got a few games of "round the rosie" in by the tulips
I sure love parades. Especially the marching bands.
My cousin Marty is the tall one in the middle. My cousin Maggie did the dutch dancing as well as Maxwell. Max was also in a marching band as well and for one of the last parades he was the school mascot, a tiger. He made his way over to me and gave me a hug. I was totally cool with it but no picture. oops said Mom and Dad.

| We took a trip out to see Barry, Joni, Ethan and Erin. We got to see my cousin Ethan in action at a baseball game. He is a pretty good ball player. I love to watch baseball. |
He pitched a couple of innings as well.
We had to cut the trip a little short because I had to get back for an ear tube surgery. The procedure went well but I had a bit of a tough time coming out of the anesthesia. I also had a hearing test done while I was under to see brain response to sound. It turns out I have a mild to moderate hearing loss that will require hearing aids. I will be getting these soon so hopefully that will help me hear better in school and learn to speak a little better.
We went to the Bolder Boulder on Memorial day to support our friends Scott and Andrea as they ran the race. They are the two people in the middle waving. There were some 60,000 people running alone and that made for lots of good people watching.
Way to go guys!

We joined some our friends for the Alternatives Pregnancy Center walk last weekend and it was a beautiful day to support a beautiful cause. My buddie Patrick and I had fun on the walk but really loved these rocks at the end of the walk at the park.
I had a fun birthday today. We are going to have a birthday bash on Sunday afternoon. Look for those pictures coming soon.

| I got a music card from Mom and Dad. I love those things. |
Well I hope that catches you all up on what is going on with me. It's hard to believe that I am 3 years old. I love you all and look forward to seeing and hearing from you when the opportunities arise.
Blog you later,
Lydia
Oops! Forgot to mention the main reason we went to Iowa - Grandpa & Grandma retired from teaching this year, so Mom and her sisters threw a party for them. Grandpa taught middle schoolers for 43 years at the same school - that's a pretty big deal! Way to go Grandpa and Grandma! Now they can come visit me at every whim - that will be fun!
