good things come to those who wait...

Wisteria

We planted a wisteria in our backyard over 6 years ago,
but it has never
blossomed - until now!
As Richard was trimming it, he uncovered two lovely flowers hanging perfectly from the vine. We were so excited... it smells divine.




Who knows? Maybe next year we'll get three!

days of May...

What a month May has been!

It started out with Katie and Matt's beautiful wedding... followed by a wonderful visit from Bonnie and Kathy, who came to participate in the Race for the Cure with us. The Race was the weekend after the wedding - it was an amazing experience, as it always is. Thanks to so many family members and friends who joined us that day!
A few days later, we headed to So Cal for Katie and Matt's open house. We were able to spend a perfect day at the beach with kids and grandkids... the best!!

Here are a few pictures of days in May:


At the open house in Santa Ana

Emilie and Lydie - loving it at Zuma Beach

Eric and Avery...


Scott buried Gregory in the sand... surprisingly, he loved it! This boy was meant to be a beach bum. He couldn't get enough of the beach life...


Aubrey and Emilie... oops that's Jane!


Lydie... just being Lydie!


Ahhh.... the beach

life is good...


I love you, Janie :)
