May, so far....

Our day at Impossible Dreams in RI:







We are in the middle of a new science experiment.  The Life Cycle of Butterflys




 These are pictures of the girls writing in their science journals and a picture of our
caterpillars.  Each day the girls record changes to the caterpillars.  Finally they turned
into chrysalis's.  Just today the first one hatched into a painted lady butterfly.  We still have
4 chrysalis's left, waiting to hatch.

                                         
                                The girls reading together on the deck swing, this beats a classroom any day!
                                           
                                              1st Spring picnic.  The girls and their dolls.
                                           
                                                           Our new pet Brownie.


                                       Enjoying the sun, first time in bathing suits this spring.  
                                           
                             
                                          We spent an afternoon working with modeling clay.


                                        Hannah and Avery wearing the new skirts that we made.

     
 I gave Hannah a sewing lesson on the sewing machine.  She made a skirt.


                              Pictures of us celebrating Mother's Day and Kevin's Birthday.



                                         
                                                 We spent Mother's Day with Memere.

The first pictures of this year's garden




                                     Our day at Sturbridge Village and then at a friends house.










                               Kevin was honored at his college for having the highest average in
                               his computer repair class.
