The month started out with a bang when Gramma showed up.
Or at least a *PING*PING*.That's the sound of Kathleen having this done to her ears!
Grammy & Grampy got in the game.
Kathleen's handmade residence for most of May.
The girls' fuel-efficient independent transportation during the month of May.
May's musical musterings
Both the violin and piano recitals in one day--
--within a couple of hours of each other.
May clowning
THENAfter Jimmer took off with Gramma and hung out for a week,
Nici, our former au pair, jetted to our country from South Africa,
and we both flew out to Gramma's to retrieve Jimmer -- releasing him from the shackles of...perfect weather, perfect fun with Gramma & Mr. Merle, perfect one-on-one time for once, and perfect freedom from school and siblings.
With the likes of these two personalities meeting for the first time, it took a grand total of one second to warm up to each other. Card games led to toe wrestling which led to...
snowball fights.
...and scratching around for coin droppage.
Fast friends, I tell you!
Back at the ranch...Car appreciation day in May
Enjoying May weather!
Pretzel making in May
South African sisters - Nici's sister (now an au pair in NJ) came for a Memorial Day weekend visit to the Lonestar State.
They bought boots,
Dressed up,
Danced with cowboys,
Visited our pink capitol,
Bounced through Lake Travis,
Ate grub overlooking a lake at sunset,
And engaged in pre-dinner thumb wrestling.
As you can see, the kids really had a tough time warming up again to Nici after her 10-year absence!
Much in May.Then there was June!
