I am...

Greta's First Dance

Jack sends her away with hugs at every single goodbye.

The sweet couple is ready to go, and all dressed up!

And, Jack and I get to go out for a pizza!

Someone is excited !

Waiting patiently for cheese.

And, we all lived happily ever after. (after meeting up at Peach Wave to hear all about the dancing).

(Which was totally awesome...and included a love at first taste relationship with Lemon Drops, and sparkling punch in plastic champagne glasses.)

May

May day is one of my favorites.  We made little baskets with candy and flowers and ran over to our sweet neighbor's, Mike and Dottie.  We have done this every year since we moved into this house and I know Mike looks forward to it, but not more than me.  The kids ran up and placed the basket and almost forgot to ring the bell before running. Jack ran before the basket was down, but mostly in circles in the grass.  We ran and hid and peeked as he found our delivery and we giggled and fell out of hiding.  I hope little ones bring me flowers on May Day when I am old and wrinkled!

Then we ran and placed baskets on Caitlyn and Cam's door step and hopped in the car to visit nearby friends.  We also got treats on our doorstep and ate almost every piece of candy before dinner!

Bedtime came at dark, and right after everyone was tucked in tight, we got another knock at the door. Derek opened it to find a basket and a sweet little friend of Greta's giggling in the driveway. Greta came down in her pajamas and ran outside for hugs and some girl talk. How sweet to see gestures of kindness in children. I love it, so.  Happy May!
