May 2013 Photos

May 2013 was full of so much joy and so much sadness. We grieved the loss of Francis Marie, and that is what I remember most. But, we also celebrated our graduation from medical school. And Mother's Day. And, we had a lovely trip to Kansas to spend time with Aaron's family. Since our last rotation was in April, we had the whole month off, which was such a blessing. Below are some photos of the little moments between the big events in May.

May first outing to the mall. Thank goodness for Julia. Not sure what we would have done in May without her. What joy she brings us.

My loves.

We tried to have a picnic in the park, but it was too cold and windy! We ended up eating in the back of the car... haha!

It did warm up, though, and another day we had a front yard picnic.

Love my affectionate girl.

Our monthly outing to the art museum family day. Here we enjoyed an outdoor story time.

There was a brass quartet, too!

And outdoor crafts!

And free lemonade and animal crackers in the gardens. Does it get much better than this?

Julia got into my concealer. What a laugh we had!

We transformed Julia's room from a baby nursery to a big girl room (more photos to come). Julia's first night in her big girl bed!

So proud!

Gee Mary and Jessica were in town one afternoon, so we went to get sushi....

and ice cream. Julia wanted blue ice cream, so we got her a cup of blueberry flavored ice cream. However, she decided she preferred mocha and praline ice cream, so she highjacked Gee's cone and polished it off... haha!
