May

May has been a busy month so far! Here are some random pics that show what we have been up to...

MFG and I went to the American Girl store with Grace and Sarah. MFG got her doll's ears pierced!

We went to a Kentucky Derby party

We all drew names for the horses  - these were ours! Nyquist won!

Francie and sweet Maeve in their derby hats :)

No hat for A, but she borrowed MFG's headband

Watching the race

Anderson also got a haircut - here is the before

And after. I did my best!

Anderson really likes to "color" these days

MFG lost her front tooth!

And then the other one 2 days later!

She looks adorable with those missing teeth :)

The weather is finally getting nice, so of course the gardeners have been working yard in the yard. We have a big vegetable container garden this year!

MFG continues to be such a sweet big sister and reads to Anderson 

I just got back from another work conference - this time in Palm Springs. I got in plenty of pool time.

View from my hotel

I went running one morning - it was HOT!

More pool time

Another hotel view

Since I was traveling alone this time, I had to find activities. I decided to check out the tram.

The view on the way up

View from the top. You can see the whole Coachella valley

 I obviously steered clear of this area!

Downtown Palm Springs at dinner one night

I presented to a VERY big audience at the conference. This was the room that I presented in!

On my last afternoon, I did some shopping. I found out that the Trina Turk flagship store was in Palm Springs, so I HAD to check that out!

Some random photos from walk back to the hotel through uptown and downtown

I am glad to be home!
