May 2015

We started out the month by ripping out our front yard.  It had been overtaken by moss and was looking patchy and sad. 

The first Thursday of each month is free entrance to all local museums.  So I took Torah to the Seattle Art Museum.  

I loved subbing in her class a few times this month.  The class also put on a perfectly adorable Mother's Day program.  I LOVE 4-5 year olds!

In preparation for soccer playoffs, we had the varsity soccer team in our backyard, giving each other "European" haircuts.  
I actually liked Micah's.

Mother's Day was wonderful.  It started off with a delicious Turkish breakfast and some very sweet gifts from Nathan & the kids.


It ended with dinner at our friend's house, and a Boys vs Girls sand volleyball game.  We are all pretty darn lousy at volleyball.

Much of May was spent watching Micah's team in the various playoff games.  They played so well, but we didn't quite make it to State this year.

Adana had her first piano recital, put on by her great teacher Jack.  She played so well!

The BIG news this month was Jared's mission call!  He is going to the new Central Eurasian Mission, serving specifically in Turkey!  We are so excited for him!

Memorial weekend was spent in CA with our Russell family.  The girls went to "look at" the waves, and of course ended up thoroughly soaked.

Many fun hours were spent swimming with cousins!

And eating as much In-n-Out as we could!

It was nice to just hang out with family in the warm, sunny weather.

And we even managed to get a rare family picture on Memorial Day.
