I'm trying to catch up on blog posts, and posting a monthly update seems to be the easiest way for now. So, here we are with the month of May behind us! It was a fun month full of activities that kept us busy! Here are some snapshots and tidbits of how we spent our time over the past several weeks...
 |
| Tyler's "Turning 3s" class held a circus-themed party! |
 |
| Danny, Rhys, Tyler and Sam - preschool buds |
 |
| A warm, beautiful spring evening means a pizza picnic with the next-door neighbors |
 |
| A family snapshot on Mother's Day |
 |
| Aww, my sweet Gavin. |
 |
| Mom, attempting to capture a sibling photo, always an interesting challenge |
 |
| The little pianist at her first recital |
 |
| Cassie's piano recital program; she had 2 songs, and Erik was able to accompany her on the second. Very sweet. |
 |
| Daddy/Daughter duo! |
 |
| Wouldn't be spring without Gavin in a baseball uniform |
 |
Tyler was the cutest bat boy around!
 |
Very busy...
 |
| Gavin and his buddy, Danny |
|
|
 |
| Our sweet neighbor, Moritz, joined us to watch Gavin's game and cheer on the team. |
 |
| A trip to Lexington to visit family; it was Ellie's 8th grade graduation! The cousins played a round of one of Grandpa Reder's favorites, "Sorry" |
 |
Congratulations to Ellie, the 8th grade graduate
 |
| Ellie taught Cassidy the basics of using a sewing machine |
|
 |
| She made a soft bookmark! |
 |
| We all went out for a pizza dinner with extended family from Cincinnati (my Uncle Robb and his family). |
 |
| Reunion photo! |
 |
| Sisters photo (we had no idea Gavin was photo-bombing in the back, it was hilarious when we saw it a while later) |
 |
| On the porch swing with Grandma and Grandpa Reder |
 |
| Cassie took part in "Girls on the Run" - we completed a 5K together along with her group of friends and their moms/dads. |
 |
| Hooray, the finish line! |
 |
| Strong girls! |
 |
| We celebrated with ice cream cones afterwards... |
 |
Warm spring days bring out the lemonade stand! We usually drink more than we serve to customers.
 |
| That lemonade stand turned into a fun sleepover with friends, complete with Harry Potter robes and movie night. |
|
 |
| Tyler and I have been attending "Moms & Tots" music classes on Fridays for a few years. However, the chapter is closing! Next year he'll be in preschool on Fridays so this is our final class. |
 |
| Being silly with his buddies... |
 |
| Late May evening dinner on the picnic table, my favorite |
 |
| My baby, I can't resist peeking in at him as he sleeps...and oh, how he loves blue bunny and nini (paci). |
 |
| A trip to the DQ after a day at the beach |
 |
| Tooth Fairy, we have something for you! |
 |
| Reading buddies! |
