May

It has been a crazy month and it's not even over. I already wrote about my choir concerts. It was also Mother's day in there as well as my best friend's birthday. My coworker and I hosted two baby showers at work, which turned out great! I also finished two Bible courses at my church and I am resuming a women's Bible study with some friends. But the highlight for sure was having Matias, Sarah and Marina, my granddaughter, stay with us over May long weekend. They flew into town for a family celebration that I hosted for Joonas and my nephew Noah, who are both graduating this year. I ordered the food and the cake so that I was able to enjoy the party along with everyone else. Everything turned out great and I think everyone had a good time, even though the rainy weather meant we were all stuck inside. We have a lot less family gatherings these days, so they are that much more special when they do happen. My mom was still in town and able to meet her great granddaughter.

The rest of the weekend, we relaxed with our immediate family. We went to the aquarium. I got in lots of baby snuggles. We had a lovely time even if it was way too short.

Now the four of us are in Hope and it's quiet and lovely. The weather is warm and sunny and we have nothing on our schedule. How perfect.
