Time for some catch up... where to start? How about May?
|
Here's me and my sweet boy at the Mother's Day Tea at his preschool. Oh, how we will miss St. Matthew's next year! |
|
Our good friends, the Thompsons made a visit to the DC area, so we had a little reunion with many of our Hawaii friends that now live here! It's amazing how big this group is, right? |
|
Love these gals! |
|
Keaton, Lucas, and Iain (looking a little skeptical) |
|
Addie, Mark, and Eli |
|
The next day was Mother's Day. We had a yummy lunch at Zoe's after church, and then my family left me (per my special request) at Stonebridge Center for T-H-R-E-E H-O-U-R-S. I spent the day shopping and walking around all by myself. An odd way to spend Mothers Day, yes. But, tt was amazing! |
|
"Reading with Dogs" - a fun Thursday tradition at our library! Sailor especially loves it! |
|
It's starting to get nice outside - finally! This boy loves his sis (most of the time). |
|
Boy Scout camp out! They dealt with some storms and a considerable amount of mud, but still managed to have a blast! |
|
We enjoyed a very windy Belmont Bay food truck festival! |
|
Enjoying Keaton's last week of school and eating lunch with his classmates. What a sweet group of kids - we will miss them next year! |
|
Mark is obviously ready for summer! It was about 65* this day... |
|
Keaton on his last day of 2nd grade! I can't believe how old (and big) he is getting! He is such a good student, and we are so proud of him! |
|
We love Mrs. Moss! So happy that Keaton had her for 2nd grade! |
|
We wasted no time - driving straight to Charlotte after picking Keaton up from school. Sailor enjoys her big cousin Mary Elizabeth, and MEL is so good with her! |
|
Teaching Sailor to drive (with attitude!) |
|
Thankful to Jenny for watching the kids so we could skip away to Bristol for our good friend Chris Quillen's wedding. |
|
So fun for Scott to catch up with many of his college buddies. |
|
They had a fun reception at the Bristol train station! |
|
From Charlotte, we drove to Nashville, and spent the night with our good friends, the Denny's! We had not seen them since Mark was a baby. Since visiting them in May, they had their 4th child, a baby girl, Katherine Grace. |
|
a long 10 hours in the car later... |
|
We made it to Brumbra and Papa's house! After a good night's sleep, the boys had fun cuddling with their cousin Christian on Brumbra's back patio. |
|
Garrett made cinnamon rolls on our first morning! Yum! |
|
Scott and I skipped away to Tulsa for dinner with one of our favorite couples - Lisa and Donovan! Can't wait for their wedding in September! |
|
Visiting my parents' planks on the new Pathfinder bridge! |
|
The Hudsons invited us out for dinner in the country. It was a blast to see Meg and the kiddos (in town for Memorial Day). |
|
Feeding the horses |
|
Halle Kate and Sailor June back together again! |
|
Sometimes I'm still just amazed we both have girls now! |
|
All of our kids - 5 boys & 2 girls! |
|
And a ride on the Cruiser! |
May was a fun-filled and very busy month for our family! Can you see now why I have no time for blogging? And we haven't even covered Memorial Day...
