We were given a fancy swing set by some very sweet people. When we surprised Ellie with it, she said “Oh my gosh,” which is something she’s never said before. She then asked if we could keep it.

The home I grew up in had lilacs at the edge of the yard. It’s such a treat to have them at our new house too. I love to clip a few and bring them into the house.

We went on a family trip to Florida with my parents, and it was so much fun. Seeing Ellie fall in love with the ocean was kind of spectacular. Here she is soaking up every minute of it.

For Mother’s Day, we headed to the Farm to see my in-laws. This is basically how Ellie looks every time we go back there.
