Charting their growth.  {Ethan 8, Rachel 6 1/2, Kara 4 1/2 and Miles was 13 months}     we enjoyed the warmer May temps and played outside a lot.     we had lazy mornings and did school in our pj's    we saw new blooms in our frontyard!    we got our summer style on.     we celebrated Uncle David's 29th birthday. the girls got these aprons in the mail from Nana.  we had super heros in our backyard.   We celebrated Mother's Day.  June ***************     Jason's Great Uncle and Aunt came to visit from CA!!     **Spoiler alert** Kara didn't want a picture.     Rachel taught Miles how to drive.      June's group pic.     Jason and I on our first solo date since

It was like a drive-in movie.  The week was SO much fun and we definitely can't wait to go back  We stayed at Seabrook Cottages, for anyone interested.
