May and a Visit

This past weekend Chad's mom and sister visited from Maine. It was great to see them again and Charlotte had a blast--she's been asking all day today if we can pick them up from the airport again.

Though the weather wasn't awesome it did cooperate enough for us to do a few things outside: playground, lots of swing set use, tricycle riding demonstrations, and the botanical gardens. The gardens looked beautiful, with tulips and hydrangeas in full bloom. The children's garden is open for the season now and Charlotte proudly climbed up a large rock hill instead of the treehouse that is built for that purpose. Why take the easy way out, right?

On Sunday they took Charlotte shopping for her birthday presents (a few weeks early, since they wanted to be able to see her playing with her gifts in person for a change). Charlotte is a lucky girl. My trunk was full to bursting and now so is our living room :)

It was sad to see them go, but we all had a wonderful time. Their visit kept me busy enough that I didn't even really realize that it's already May. YES! May marks the beginning of my favorite half of the year. It's about time.
