May

 

We spent an evening on the National Mall with dessert and a frisbee.  We still really like living next door to DC!


This bird sat perched on our porch for an unusual amount of time, daring us to get closer with our camera until it eventually flew away.  

Hamster Funeral Part Two.  RIP Chipper.

Happy Mother's Day!  Nothing says "we love you" like morning cuddles 

I'm grateful to be their mom

The kids made vegetable and fruit rice paper wraps for our lunch

Later in the week, I cashed in on one of my mother's day dates.  Bridgette and I went out for dinner at Cava and then hunted down as many geocaches as we could find until the sun went down!



Meanwhile, Gretchen had a special night in DC with her Bible study group 

As we neared the end of school, we went on a couple field trips with families from our co-op.  We always enjoy the Bible Museum and learned more than we had about the Gutenberg Press on this visit.


We asp enjoyed an evening at Medieval Times, cheering on the yellow knight in the jousting

We visited Colonel Denning State Park for two nights of camping and enjoyed a beautiful hike that started at the campground.  



Rooke did a great job on his presentation of his science research project for the families at our co-op's celebration night

We made it to the end of school!!

The smiling faces of a seventh grader, fifth grader, third grader and second grade tutor who just finished another year of school.

Picking fresh strawberries is one of my favorite signals of summer

Sweet friends practicing their duet

Our first week of no school included a lot of medical appointments I'd been putting off!

One last photo of these bunk beds that have served our family well, far longer than they should have through more moves than we thought they'd last.  

The beginnings of my hopeful garden bed.  Another bed coming soon next to it.

We spent Memorial Day at a potluck BBQ with friends
