May Rewind




#1 JEC  First Communion

 

 So my computer got hacked and for the last few weeks I have been itching to download pictures from our adventures this month but "it is what it is" and I have been patiently waiting while the computer tech folks do their (expensive) thing.

Our house has been a disaster, I mean d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r...The kind where you send your kid off to school with socks that don't match (you know the small pile of socks that just sit there waiting for a partner sock to show up but it never happens- that's where I have been pulling from in the mornings)

BUT lots of fun memories this month have been made...May Rewind





"Aunt Lisa, make sure you get a picture of my shoes"

And then off to Texas for a BFF get away.  One word- hysterical. (Second word- Margaritas)

 Mom-Daughter Spring Get Away

Armadillo or Elephant? Austin, Texas April 2014

We played with Aunt Joy and made new friends....

second cousins.  (LDC's new BFF is the man in the yellow.)

We celebrated Cousin Caleb and his beautiful new wife.  Good gracious.  Kleenex.

Mizpah

We missed Aunt Peggy but Willie said it perfectly, "Mom would have been proud".

Cousins.  All smiles.

I think of the garden after the rain

I am sure the post office got a kick out of sending this gigantic gem from Uncle Drew and Aunt Shelby.  LDC loved it.
