Goodbye May!

A quick week with Monday off due to Memorial Day.  No pictures from the week but a few from the weekend - we had glorious spring weather over the weekend!  We hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!!

Memorial Day

 A pretty uneventful (and short) week for the kids and Amy (Adam was traveling for work) with Friday off and Monday a holiday. It rained most of Saturday and Sunday with the sun finally peeking out around 2 pm on Monday afternoon. We are sending good thoughts to all our family and friends!!!

Cuddles with Stormy - while Saffron watches.

On Sunday, Ayson got to practice driving Amy's car and he did a great job!

Amy and Ayson finally replaced the trampoline netting and mat so now Addie can do her crazy high jumps again.

Ferns starting to unfurl at Labrador Pond.

Summer temps

Amy was in Columbia MO for the week so there are more "nature" pics than kid pics.  We hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!!!!

Our group had dinner at a colleague's house with a pond and look at the tadpoles!!

On our last evening, we went to a small event space/campground on the Missouri River. 

On Sunday, the temperature reached at least 88 degrees in Cardiff!  So Addie broke out the sprinkler for the trampoline.

Ayson was out of school Thursday and Friday with a cold and he spent Sunday late afternoon catching up with school work.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the human and pet mom's that we love!

A glorious Monday afternoon and evening with the dogs relaxing after we took them for a walk in the orchard.

Our apple trees bloomed last week - the blossoms go by so fast.

On Saturday, Adam and Amy had a lunch date!  We went to one of our favorite Indian restaurants and then we went grocery shopping at Wegmans.  Dinner and grocery shopping used to be our Friday night routine before kiddos :) 

Ayson went to Lake Bonaparte with Annie and Bob to help them open up the camp Friday evening through Sunday morning.  In the evenings, Ayson was able to get out on the kayak, they watched movies, and they went out to dinner one of the nights.  Thanks, Annie and Bob!

Ayson gave Amy a hanging basket for Mother's Day

Addie made Amy a card with sunflowers and a turtle :)

Hello May!

We have been enjoying the blooming flowers and trees in between the rain showers.  We are sending good thoughts to our family and friends!

Ayson made a batch of "Grandma's cookies" on Monday afternoon.  The cookies were all gone by Tuesday!  Thanks, Ayson.

Our crab apple tree is making pink "snow"

On Saturday while Ayson was working at the lavender farm, Addie and Amy went to the cat shelter with Neighbor Denise to socialize cats.

The morels are popping up all over the yard.

Too funny- Amy captured Stormi checking out the morel.

Sigh. In addition to dead/dying trees, morels appear to like dog crap...as noted by proximity of crap and morels in our yard.  Note the "aged" example at the top left corner of the picture.

On Sunday evening, we went to Annie and Bob's house for dinner.  Thank you for the enjoyable visit and yummy meal!  A crafty squirrel removed the suet from the feeder while we were eating...too funny.
