Trumpets!!

Kids say the craziest things sometimes. Our Gray is no different. Recently, with all of his might, he's been blurting out "trumpets," here and there. We don't have a single trumpet in the house or even a book featuring a trumpet, but perhaps we should buy one. What makes him happy, makes me happy and so, trumpets it is.

We went to Dutch Wonderland this week with friends of ours. What a cool place that I'm sure we'll visit again and again and again. In addition to some pictures from our latest adventure, I've included some other May shots!

Sometimes The Smallest Flower Smells The Sweetest.

We kicked off May with a 1-2 punch in the Virgin Islands. It was a perfect vacation for us. We came away relaxed and refreshed. What more can you ask for?

Gray swam with Wings all by himself. This made us so very proud of our brave little guy. He fell in love with the Iguanas that crowded the sidewalks and trees on St. Thomas. We returned home with a stuffed animal “Dinosaur,” as he calls it. This thing has not left his side yet.

Piper is standing for lengths of time and is cruising a bit. She’s moving fast and keeps us on our toes. She is so unlike her cautious older brother in such ways. Always very curious and gravitates towards danger, that’s our girl! We’re gearing up for her 1st Birthday in the coming weeks and look forward to partying with our friends and family. It’s hard to believe she’s been with us for almost a year now. We are so blessed.

And now for the pictures. So many …
