Today is Memorial Day—the last day of the month—and I'm counting my blessings as I look back on May.
After a horrible winter and a rainy spring, May brought blue skies and mid-70's. Ella found freedom from her goopy eye, Derek's ankle healed, and Carson Ellis Sands took his very first steps.
We had all the grandparents home from Florida, Andrea and Chris were in town, and we got to see Cindy, Ben and the boys after a long winter.
It started with a Mother's Day that involved getting seven (7!) cards from our sweet girl and a sloppy kiss from Carson. I had a wonderful day of flower-planting with my tiny assistant by my side. We discussed water levels, theories on the best way to plant (digging holes in the dirt that's there vs. placing flowers and filling in around them...very important topics on which to take a stand) and color balance.
The next weekend, we celebrated Amblen's 6th and Parker's 10th birthday on the lake with family and friends.
I had a great trip to NYC for the National Stationery Show...and prayed the whole time that I would not miss Carson's first steps.
Miss Ella got to celebrate her birthday with Montessori friends before the school year ends this week.
