Phew, these past few weeks have been a lot. And here we are in mid-June, but I wanted to recap our May!
{We celebrated Mother’s Day a week early + it was wonderful just to get photos with the kids! // Also Daph + Fitz are so sweet together!}
{Papaw + Uncle David were in town for a golf trip – which didn’t end up happening, but that’s a long story for another day – and the kids were absolutely thrilled to have people to play with! // Fitz LOVES reading books}
{These three are just the sweetest // another group shot at the playground // trying on new shoes!}
{Lots of reading with Papaw while he visited // Fitz showing off his skills}
{Eloise loves to build forts + was very proud of this one // the girls have been ice skating once a week at the new ice rink // Fitz + I spent some time at the U Village playground and he LOVED this little car}
{the boys reading together // “Papaw face” // reading + bouncing}
{the bedhead on this one plus can you hear him saying “cheese!” // celebrating Aaron’s birthday! // Eloise + Mimi have been doing art challenges each week and these were E’s cupcakes}
{kicked off the kids’ bathroom remodel + said good-bye to the claw foot tub // Fitz has really loved being in his hooded towel after bath time recently // another mama made sure I was in the photo with the girls at the front gate of T-Mobile Park}
{trying to keep this guy contained during the baseball game // Eloise’s school had a special night at the Mariner’s game + she was SO excited! // CHEESE!}
[Fitz signing “more” because he spent the entire game snacking // Fitz has recently started walking with his hands in his pockets – it’s adorable! // Eloise being so brave while she got her covid booster – just in time for summer!}
{Sometimes these three play really well together // Fitz taking an unusual daytime nap + we would find out he was sick with a massive ear infection over Memorial Day weekend} // Daphne girl looking so old!}
{Demo Day + the new tub being placed!}
May felt busy + a little crazy too. It was the last push before the end of school activities and events really picked up. The girls were in skating and swim lessons which actually made life feel a little more normal (since we completely stopped outside activities for over 2 years).
We celebrated Aaron’s birthday – YAY – and headed into Memorial Day weekend with high expectations of some sunny weather. But we ended up with having the coldest + wettest spring on record (with only 5 HOURS of sun in the entirety of May). Ugh.
And then we had our first really scary sickness with Fitz (and honestly, ever as parents as the girls were never really sick as babies or young toddlers) over the holiday weekend. Once we were able to see our doctor and get a prescription for Amoxicillin, he was on the mend pretty quickly for an ear infection, but there were some scary + sad moments for sure.
Happy June!
