Here is our May. Most spent visiting with family since Josh was gone most of the month to Asia. He had an amazing trip and I plan to share later. We spent a little less than a week in Gainesville after Josh left. We finished up our last MOPS meeting of the year. I worked at Corks. Then we headed to stay with family. We stayed for a little over a 1.5 weeks in the panhandle splitting our time between the Gorman's and Williams' house.

Once we got to the panhandle it was a little easier for all of us dealing with Josh being gone. Lots of fun, laughter and smiles being surrounded by friends and family. We were home to celebrate Jamiie Jo's birthday. Grandpa and Grandma Williams watched the kids one night so I could go out with Jamiie and celebrate. We had fun! I ordered Jamiie and myself special drinks so we would have a souvenir cup to remember the occasion. :)
And if you are wondering if that is Carter with a pirate eye patch on, the anwser is yes. I was going with all the young ones, since I was almost 10 years older than most of our birthday celebrating crew, that when you get to be old and a mom you have a bit of everything in your bag. Well I had a pirate eye patch among other things. ;)

Grandpa and Grandma Williams, the kiddos and I surprised Jamiie at work :)
I was able to spend Mother's Day with both my mothers and the two reasons why I am a mom. It was a lovely day! I did miss Josh a lot this day. It helped when I received a surprise delivery though. A beautiful bouquet of flowers. Even being on the other side of the world 12 hours ahead, he managed to make my day.

We got a chance to meet up with Jermiah and Sally, who were in town for the day, Mom W. and Jamiie at the beach. We also ended up by seeing Carter and Kaili there. We had lots of fun!

| Beach Day |
Lots and lots of pool time at Grandpa and Grandma's Gormans plus smiles, laughs, story time, and silly antics.

Jamiie took Landon, Arabella and I out on her kayak. We just went for about an hour because it was the kids first time out and we were sure how they would do. I think Landon would have been happy out there all day. Bella enjoyed it but was very ready when we were headed back. They both did great. No flipped boats! We stopped on a little beach cove to eat a snack and check out some gulf animal life.
