We had a wonderful month of May. N finished up our first true year of homeschooling with Kindergarten, and the child grew by leaps and bounds this year. Z finished preschool in June and I'll have some more to say about that in my next monthly update.
The month began with our church's women's retreat. I got to spend the weekend in the mountains of Leavenworth surrounded by nature. We always stay in the Enzian Inn, and it is so relaxing and beautiful.
The following weekend, I participated in World Concern's Free Them 5K. It was amazing to see just how many people came out to support the fight against human trafficking.
The next day was Mother's Day which we celebrated with Phil's family in Graham. We were able to be with his mom too which was special. The boys all made me a beautiful clock that they got laser-cutted while I was gone on my retreat. I just love clocks.
Something else that we discovered this month were these tent caterpillars. It seemed like everywhere we went, we saw what looked like thick spiderwebs with hundreds of caterpillars on them. There was just a major infestation of them all over North Seattle. The kids thought they were great and loved having them crawl all over themselves.
N lost his first tooth! My little boy is growing up!
Our zoo membership expired this month, so we went there multiple times this month with friends and just as a family. We will miss the zoo.
We've had some gorgeous days this month too. Phil's favorite park is Gas Works, and the view of downtown is always spectacular.
Pioneer Club at our church is now over as well. The last day is always a pine car derby. Last year, we came in absolute last, and this year, we almost were completely last again even though we thought we were doing everything right with weight. It was still quite fun though!
More beautiful summer days!
Playing in the sprinklers....
And paddleboats at Green Lake.
On Memorial Day, our neighborhood had an impromptu Memorial Day barbecue in the cul-de-sac. We have such wonderful neighbors, and it was great to hang out with them even if we did get a bit wet from the water balloon fight. =)
It was so nice to have summer arrive earlier this year. Although we've had our share of rainy and cloudy days, it's been great to spend so much time outside already.
