May

 ^^ Morning walk around the neighborhood before smoothies and school in the backyard! It's not always this idyllic, but all the praise hands for when it is...! ^^  

 ^^ The zoo with friends! ^^

 ^^ Random love notes from my biggest boy. Oh he has the sweetest heart! ^^

 ^^ Mother's Day snuggles with my littlest and Mother's Day cards from the bigs. Not much beats it! ^^

 ^^ TV. Lots and lots of TV this pregnacny! ^^

 ^^ Sweetest daddy with his sweetest baby girl. Stephen took Ezra to see a Jr. production of The Little Mermaid (her favorite!) in Davis and she was beaming! She wore daddy's favorite dress and asked for blush on her cheeks on momma's perfume. ^^

 ^^ Dinner with friends and cute babies! So thankful for our RSA and Side By Side families here in Sacramento! ^^

 ^^ Finding out baby is (another!) boy was such an unexpected joy! Watching the kids react with just as much excitement was equally great! ^^

 ^^ Though we have been lightly schooling through the summer, Uriah technically graduated Kindergarten in May! Our first official year of homeschool! (Does two years of preschool count!?) We loved our teacher, Miss Becky, and loved that she took the time to design Uriah his own cap (with bugs on top, of course!) and diploma because we couldn't make it to the group graduation. ^^

 ^^ A weekend in Palo Alto to say goodbye to our favorite Faber family! I'm so glad our paths crossed during our time in The Bay - they have been such a support and inspiration for us! ^^

 ^^ Just your normal grocery run in our jammies :) ^^

 ^^ Ezra finished her first curriculum book! She's been joining in on Uriah's school for the last year or two, but in January I got her her own curriculum and she took to it immediately! (The girl taught herself to read!) She was all sorts of proud when we finished the last page and was ready to move on to the next book! ^^

 ^^ These sweet blondies moved to New Zealand and we have sure been missing them since! Really, our only other homeschool friends in the city and they lived less than 5 minutes away! It was a match made in heaven while it lasted and I am so thankful for the time we had together! ^^

^^ Just a quick snap of me and my biggest, trying to remind myself that even though the days are long (and hard!) the years are short. When did he get so old?! ^^
