as it turns out. may was pretty busy with things that deserved their very own blog posts. so this one will be short and sweet.
to kick things off, anna and i did a bit of strawberry picking. we lovelovelove local nc strawberries.
i ate healthy. walked and lifted. 🙂
ok. so this part is super cute. when i got back from my mother’s day camping trip, the kiddos gave me a bunch of gifts. one of the best ones was this buffalo bills t-shirt from hazel. a few years ago, she made a painted a very plump buffalo bills logo. derek scanned it had it put on a t-shirt for me. it’s adorable. of course, this prompted her to make another bills painting, so i might need a new shirt for next mother’s day.
hazel had another belt graduation (add that to the mix of all the may end of year things).
lets see. anna tried some new cookie recipes. i put the fresh strawberries to work (a pound cake and real whipped cream don’t hurt). and we spent memorial day with some fun buffalo friends and their very cute children.
anna snuggled with chickens and read in the hammock. gross. and they are laying like mad. and. ho hum. we bought a new car. a minivan. we are soon to be a family of three drivers. ugh.
and lastly. an epic portrait of grampa terry by hazel. the state of anna’s room at any given time. and a selfie with hazel’s classmates at lunch when i delivered the teacher totes.
and that’s may. (i’m now only SEVEN months behind in blogging). sigh…..
