May Catch-Up

I've had several posts drafted up for various things have have been going on in May, but seeing as it'll be June by the end of the week, I thought a bulleted post would be the best way to cover some big events that have happened.

*May is a popular month for birthdays in our family - my mom, Sam, and our niece Linnea all turned another year older this month.  Linnea's birthday was particularly special seeing as it was her first!  The last year has been so much fun mainly because we've gotten the chance to watch this little one grow & learn.  Every new little "wow" is like experiencing it for the first time yourself.  So fun!  For her birthday, we all showered her with love & gifts and watched her take in another first for her.


*May was also the month of our much anticipated family vacation!  Sam's family went in together & a condo in Sunriver for the weekend. It was something we've all talked about doing, but was made possible thanks to a killer deal from Sharing Spree.  We walked & biked the trails. Explored the touristy town. And enjoyed a delicious dinner out as a family. The only complaint that I heard was that everyone wished we had longer to stay, which I took as a sign of a good time.  I'm already crossing my fingers we can return again next year!





*We got a lot done in terms of flooring in May - about 90% done! In only a couple months, we have managed to tear out all the carpet + padding, prep the subfloor, and lay over 1,000 sq. feet of laminate flooring.  It hasn't been easy, but the outcome has definitely been worth it!  The look, the feel, the overall cleaner look - we love it!  Only the stairs to go...



Other details from the month can be found through my photo of the day posts {the one consistent here on this blog :)}.  Hopefully future happenings will be updated more timely, fingers crossed!
