We had a whirlwind of a month at our house! That's why my blog has been virtually silent. After the family wedding in Columbus, OH, we welcomed my sister and niece to our house
the very next day, followed by some male guests that were in town for a conference, followed by a 10 day visit from Grandma Peggy (my mom) from Oklahoma. If April was spent being sick and doing...nothing, May was spent around lots of family, eating lots of good food (eating's more fun with company!), and doing lots of sightseeing.

| Spent a night at Ocean City MD with Grandma |
 |
| First experience with sand |
 |
| It was beautiful on the beach, but cold, so we didn't get in the ocean much |
 |
| Our hotel had an awesome kiddie pool, this is just the shallow end |
 |

 |
| And if Mount Vernon wasn't enough Presidential history...here we are at Jefferson's beautiful house, Monticello! |
 |
| Such striking architecture |
 |
| Beautiful gardens at Monticello |
 |
| Taking time to stop and smell the...purple flowers (don't ask me what they are) |
 |
| Taking a moment during our day trip to Monticello to be goofy |

| Love that toddler squat |

 |
| Last night with Grandma we went on a walk in our neighborhood and found a freshly carved tribute to Jim Henson. It's not easy being...wooden! |
