May has been so very full and so very fun. Benji wrapped up the end of the school year with students and is getting ready for summer camps. The girls and I have enjoyed the beautiful weather by spending lots of time outside or at the park with friends. Caroline and Anna Laura are starting to play more together and their little friendship is budding. We've had sweet nephews in town. There has been so much going on that I feel like the pictures will say it best. I feel like most of my posts lately let the pictures tell the story. My mind can only function to a certain capacity and by 9 o'clock at night its shutting down.....plus I love pictures and think they tell so much more than I ever could. Enjoy!

 |
| She often will just disappear and I'll find her in a chair 'reading' a book |
 |
| loves all things lipstick, lipgloss, and chapstick. She's the chapstick bandit in our house. Benji has had several chaptick tubes go missing! |
 |
| loves putting on makeup |
 |
| one day she disappeared into Caroline's room for about 5 minutes and it was really quiet, when she finally came out she was wearing everyone of Caroline's headbands....this girl is too funny! |
 |
| this is the day where they voluntarily played together for OVER an hour. I literally sat in a chair and read while they giggled and dressed up and went to 'concerts'. Made my heart so happy! |
 |
| loves to rock her baby dolls |
A fun afternoon after a rain storm
 |
| Benji is a big kid...that's why i love him and that's what makes him a great dad |
 |
| i took this picture because I wanted to show her what her pouty face looked like. Unfortunately my plans back fired and she actually liked the way she looked |
 |
| Have I mentioned that she likes to dress up....we frequently go places with her wearing a tutu or princess costume |
 |
