What is it about May? Why is it the month when all field trips, field days, fun days, school projects, retreats, graduations and spring celebrations occur? There are 8 other months in the school year y'all! While it has been busy, we've made some great memories and created some memorable moments (aka not always fun but definitely memorable). Here it is in pictures.
Enjoying the beautiful weather on our playset. We've had some sweet daytime moments now that both of his sisters are in school. Love my little man!
Mary-Michael's take on the Washington Monument on the 4th of July. This was displayed at the King William Fine Arts Festival. Great job, honey!
Mary-Michael also performed several songs based on Aesop's Fables at the arts festival.
And to top it all off, she submitted a poster for a themed contest entitled, "Believe There is Good in the World." And she won for her school! We are so proud of her. She drew her and Addison selling cookies and lemonade to raise money for her cousin, Caleb, when he was battling cancer. And he won, too!
Strawberry picking with my MUMS group. Frazier and I picked 4 pounds of strawberries, which were gone in 24 hours. Yum!
Playing with one of our favorite buddies, Mr. Carter.
I took the girls on a weekend kids retreat that our church and kids ministry hosted. The girls and I thoroughly enjoyed the rock wall, which they quickly became pros at.
The retreat was great, and they had some sweet moments with friends...but the girls and I really butted heads. I was bummed. We ended up leaving early. It was a big learning lesson for all three of us, and we had some good conversation after the fact. Too bad it didn't happen when we were there. Oh well! You can't win them all.
I enjoyed chaperoning Mary-Michael's class to Henricus Historical Park. It rained a lot!
The kids are visiting the church and attempting to follow orders by the military colonel.
Loved spending the day with this one.
I always enjoy the Saturday before Mother's Day with my own very special momma and our shopping shenanigans. I surprised her and invited my brother to join us for lunch at Maggiano's. So fun!
And here's our hard-working Leila who is loving her new school. Here she is presenting a project on the African elephant with her teacher, Mrs. Tignor.
Great job, little lady! You have gone from not knowing your sounds to reading Magic Treehouse books. You have made such great strides, and we are proud of you.
What can I say about these 2 incredible studs?! Geoff did a great job serving as the head coach for Frazier's t-ball team.
We had a great little team of 9 kids, including 3 sweet, tough little girls.
Because after all of this crazy, we all need a moment like this. Farm life is a blessing.
