Summer catch-up: May



Waking up with a fever (but still happy) due to teething. May 24th And...he finally slept all night in his own bed on the 22nd!

Getting over a cold, he threw up the last bit of gunk on this ride; and then he felt so much better, as you can see from his face. May 30th

Getting a sip (that's my varsity sweatshirt he's wearing, he's getting so tall).

The boys were outside all day, while papa got rid of brush in the yard. It was hours of fire amusement (wands, smores, and whatever else that the wind blew into their minds). May 31st







Boys that play with fire go to sleep standing up. We couldn't find him anywhere in the house after I had brushed his teeth. We finally found him tucked into the corner by his bed, fast asleep on his feet.

trying out a new playground and...

...oh LOVELY, LOVELY Lupine you bring us the summer we so desperately need! Yes, they are just starting to bloom, and my E picked one for me. My favorite, favorite flower.

He has been wanting to make a birdfeeder for a while now, and today his papa helped him out.

a new old walkway

I was outside this weekend trying to fix up our property a bit, now that the snow has finally melted from it. My mom helped uncover an old brick path, that I am assuming leads to the back of the house into the woods. Look how thick that carpet of moss and grass is! I would have loved to have seen it when it was new.

lately...

This morning before work, I was putting a band-aid on a cut and needing some kind of encouraging words to get me through the day. I look up and this is the message I see. I had to take a picture. I felt better after seeing it. Isn't it funny, that when we really really feel like giving up, there always just happens to be a sign waiting for us. We just have to stop and look.

His first time playing, it was not his favorite but he stuck with it. I think he felt good about it in the end; and he ended up being Most Improved Player.
