Throw back Tuesday Part 2: May highlights from the Virginia gang :)

I'm happy today because Adelina took an extra nap so I have some time to blog! So, let's take a trip down memory lane to May. 

We did a lot in May too. There is a lot to do around here, and it's pretty neat that we still live relatively close to old friends. We started the month off with the annual Sheep and Wool festival. My good friends came from far and wide (Denmark, Michigan and PA) to see one another. I cherish these ladies. 






Auntie Kathryne and Auntie Michela stayed the weekend too!


4 month old Lina :) What a cute monkey.


J doing some yoga :) 


We made some pretty fun lawn creations and practice evil tummy time. 


We exercised and enjoyed some baby tootsies!




Jocelyn especially loved making flower bracelets, after learning from our wool friends :) 


Later on, I celebrated a fun Mother's Day at the DC zoo. Ryan made a great meal, and the girls made me great homemade gifts. The best kind. It's funny seeing two of them still. They make some great faces. 







Thanks for reading and sticking with us as we recap from the spring. Hugs :)

Flower picking today :)

Hello!

Well, I am horribly behind on my blogging, but here is a little update. 

Today, Adelina played with her favorite toys. Those usually consist of her giant plush catapillar named "Longfellow", the rainbow plastic rings, and her play mat. She also loves rattles, the pink plushes made by Grammy, petting the pooches and playing with J. 



Her hair is growing lots, and sticks up just like her mama's did. She is almost 7 months :) She has rolled, but isn't a fan. Lina is most content to just sit, do her arm waving (which resembles the Hulk smash move), and watch the world unfold.

Today, J and I went on a nature walk. We ran into lots of birds. J's favorite is the cardinal. We also ran into a dead snake, bumblebees and lots of butterflies. The flora and fauna out here is so colorful. So, we picked some flowers to take back. J said the Lorax was ok with this :)



And, I've been doing some yoga and Ryan has been doing P90X-30 for the last 70ish days. He really loves it. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Here was some fun doing "tree" pose for a non-profit that plants trees for each person who sent in a photo. I borrowed J's fabulous boa!


So did my brother out in Washington!


And then, the dogs came!


More updates coming soon! Have a great weekend everyone.
