May 2012 Recap

May was a bittersweet month. The end of the school year in a college town is always hard. We have to say goodbye to many relationships that we have built, some for a short time and some for years.

This year was especially hard, "my" sweet Lindsay graduated. She has spent many hours in our house talking, helping, cooking, folding, chasing kids, diaper changing, you name it. We adore her and are very sad to see her moving on. On the other hand though, May also means our life slows down somewhat. The streets get a little less busy and you can actually go to a restaurant on Friday night without expecting at least an hour wait. 

We ended our Lifegroup with a bang and had our second annual Minute to Win it games. It was a really fun ending to a great semester. Our all boy team ended up winning after a three-way tie breaker! 

As a family, we were able to go to one final Aggie baseball game with our friends, Meg and Jason. Chandler loved people watching and eating the popcorn. On Friday mornings, Cody and I set aside some time together to discuss, The Meaning of Marriage and also intentionally talk about our weeks and pray for one another. 

For Mother's Day, Cody surprised me with a digital picture frame. I came home that morning and he had it filled with a sweet message and pictures of the kids. I absolutely love it! Both sets of grandparents were able to make a visit during the month of May as well. We loved seeing them and Chandler can officially say all of their "names". One of his classic phrases is, "Oh hiiiii, <insert name here>" which is really cute. 

We also had the blessing of getting to see our dear friends, Joseph and Elizabeth get married. It has been such a neat journey to see their relationship progress and we are so excited for them! 

To finish up the month we were able to celebrate Memorial Day by spending a WHOLE day off with Cody, having a quick lunch with the Hicks, and going to a BBQ with some of our friends from Lifegroup. We are looking forward to a fun filled June!
