May lately. -Snapshots
















Gardening/grilling/painting/relaxing/playing/exploring/sunshine/laughter/together/enjoying

May has arrived and we're thrilled. With all that has happened, our truck needing a new transmission and my old camera breaking, we have been fortunate to get things under control. Our truck is currently in the process of being worked on and I was able to purchase a new camera. 

Lately, we have enjoyed more simple things. Things aren't as hectic and everyone is smiling. -That of course is always a good thing. I enjoy my time out gardening and my daughter enjoys helping with the flowers. Evenings are spent out on the back porch.-Grilling and catching up over refreshing drinks. 

Indoors we enjoy painting, singing, baking, building blocks, and knocking them down. -We all have a good time! Baby girl #2 has been kicking, especially at night. I enjoy these moments. Her sister sings to her and shares her day with her. I can't help but smile. 

May has arrived and so have warm sunshine days. I'm grateful for these simple days. -Welcome May.
