May

Always time to smell the flowers!

This post is a little picture heavy, but I'm sorting through the camera cards & just saved a bunch!

A few pics from our trip to Austin last month - It was a fun time!  We went to see the bats (although the big nightly escape never happened), visited the Austin zoo (small-ish rescue zoo but has all the big and little animals) and ate at a bunch of the places we try to hit up whenever we get to a real town.

Grandpa & Grandma Sortman called a couple weeks ago to see if they could come for a visit after their trip in FL so instead of heading North they headed West and drove over last minute to Texas to visit for a week!!  Liv's had a great time with all the extra attention & it was even more fun than a planned visit since it was basically a random surprise! 

Visiting with Grandpa & Grandma

Grandma made this quilt for Olivia!!  A precious keepsake!

Some other fun things from recently:

Sandfest in Port A.

Playing in the sand while Daddy kiteboards in the background

Swimming in the Hot Tub - one of Livi's favorite things!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day today - a great day with lots of the nice little things :)   Dave & Liv both gave me two sweet cards, we had breakfast at the German Bakery (my choice - love the waffles-yum!) and to church this morning.   Took a long scenic drive on Ocean Drive & checked out downtown & visited a fun playground on the way home.  After dinner we took a walk around the neighborhood before Liv's went to bed.   Simple, nice, perfect day! 

Oh - Bonus! Today, David & I both definitely felt the baby kick.  The last week has been that time of "Did I just feel something? I think so, but not sure, so maybe not...." Today though we both felt the push so that was fun!

Last but not least, took this pic when I was 14.5 weeks - I finally remembered to take the first pregnancy pic! (I'm 16 weeks now)
