Month of May

May was a whirlwind for us...I think we crammed as much memory as possible into the month.  Here's what we did:

 Happy Mother's Day and Helen's Baby Dedication!

 Me and my daughter..doesn't that sound fantastic??

This was such a special day...for obvious reasons.

Alan's mom and Helen..our kids love their Gram!
