May 5 is the day we learned we'd have to move away from our country house that summer. It was not a planned or desired move. However when you rent, unexpected things like your home being sold out from under you happen. As a result, I spent many hours in May searching for a new place for us to live. We did have some other fun activities though.
I ran in another 5Kwith a friend. It was my first trail race and I was worried most of the time that I was going to fall and twist my ankle. I managed to finish without that happening. I even got a faster time than the last race!
Dinoguy came with me to the race. He passed out water cups and cheered for me. That was fun!
We ordered more butterfly caterpillers. Princess requested them but we all really enjoyed watching the butterflies grow, make chrysalises, and hatch. We learned lots about nature from it. I love seeing their tongue uncurl to drink juice!
Trainboy had a few more soccer games to play in at the beginning of the month.
Baby started cutting his first teeth! Trying to take a picture of it was not easy.
Little Guy wearing a bow tie for church "just like dad"
I had fun on a cub scout cooking project with this sweet boy.
Dinoguy earned ranks and merit badges at a court of honor.
Trainboy got new glasses.
He picked them out and when we got home they were similar to Dad's new glasses!
Baby started moving backwards. This means he got stuck under the couches!
Swim meet season arrived. Both older boys participated.
Trainboy participated in a piano recital. His piano playing skills are progressing nicely.
This kid kept me laughing. He's a sweet one.
And I took lots of pictures of this sweet baby.
That's a quick summary of May!

March 2014 Activities
March 2014 brought many fun things. During Spring Break week the kids and I met cousins at the zoo and went to the natural science museum. The weather is fabulous in March and so there was lots of outdoors play. The pinewood derby happened and of course we had lots of other fun projects at home. Soccer started up again, Baseball season got underway and Baby continued to become more interesting and interactive.We were also given a zip line for Christmas. We finally got it set up. Kids loved it.
