May in review

Although May was a busy month, with wrapping up school, graduation, and a visit from family, somehow I didn't take many pictures.  One of the highlights was taking a family bike ride almost every evening throughout the month.  We had absolutely perfect temperatures in May, and I'm happy to say we took full advantage. On one occasion we counted 5 gators that were also out enjoying the nice weather :| Fortunately they are quick to jump back the water when they see someone.  But still...  

A low for us this month was a massive sewage explosion that took out our three downstairs bathrooms.  The utility district was working on our line, something went awry, and the next thing we knew we had sewage literally gushing from all three toilets and two bathtubs.  Thank the Lord Jon was home.  I don't even know what I would've done.  He acted fast, grabbed the shop vac, Henry grabbed the neighbor's shop vac, and we managed to keep it from entering the main part of the house.  But it was completely traumatic you guys - it was several inches deep throughout.  We now have all flooring, molding, doors and dry wall cut out of those rooms, and are awaiting repair.  It was one of those crazy fluke things, but we'll get through it!    

Here's a little peek at our month...

Our new Scottie is in this litter, born on May 12th. Our Scottie longing is REAL, and I can't wait to get my hands on our new baby!

A boy and his cat :)

My Mother's Day present from Havalah.  I've been reading a bunch about Marie Antoinette these last few months, so she drew her for me.  A million loves. 

And Henry painted the prettiest beach I've ever seen, and wish I could visit in real life!  I need to get both framed asap!

Henry decided to give contacts a try, and isn't disappointed! Yay!

The current state of our school room, but hopefully not for long! :)
