Mother's Day Highlights

There was a Mother's Day Tea at Josh's school on Friday. It was a really sweet morning. We had a special snack together and then colored a butterfly craft together. Afterwards, the students sang a springtime song for their mothers. They did a great job!

On Mother's Day, we went to Leakin Park for train rides. We hadn't been there since Josh's 2nd birthday - it was a really fun afternoon and we'll certainly not wait another year and half to go back!

Then we headed to Shrewsbury for dinner with Yia Yia and Gigi Gallo.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to the best Mommy (and Wife) ever!!!

We love you so much!!!

Visit by Grandma Squires

Grandma came to spend a few days with us. She brought Josh and Katelyn a fun Thomas water mat and they had a lot of fun playing with that outside. Wednesday was a chillier day, so we played lots of games. On Thursday, we headed to the zoo. This time we explored the Maryland Wild Life portion of the zoo - complete with ducks, lillypads and farm animals. Thank you for coming to visit Grandma - we love this annual trip!

Go O's!

Turtle Josh

Who wouldn't want to visit the zoo after seeing this?!

This picture captures Katelyn completely. She's peaking around the goat to try to see his face and make eye contact. She does this with all the animals she encounters - she tries to connect!

Katelyn chose to ride the gorilla.

Josh chose to ride the elephant next to Grandma

May Day - Train Day

We went to see Thomas at the B&O Railroad Museum. Josh and Katelyn were excited about the trains and enjoyed the ride. We spent the afternoon exploring train cars and listening to stories about Thomas. We can check this off the list of things to do for the next five years. :)

Yep - this is the best photo we got
