June was filled with lots of popsicles, yearly checkups, a visit to the dentist, Melody’s first trip back to Publix, pool time, visits with Nana and Grandpa, birthday parties, baking, and lots of playtime!

May Fun
So May was a busy and fast month for us! It is always a super busy time because of all the birthdays, anniversaries, dance events, school events, etc. While we didn’t have quite as much, it was still a lot when we have done no real socializing in many weeks, ha! Check out all the fun we had below!
Quarantine Fun
So being told you have to stay home for the foreseeable future and you can’t see anyone else is hard. So to say we have had fun may come as a surprise. We do really, really miss our family and friends, BUT we have enjoyed the slowness and time together. Melody is a fun age where we don’t have to take things too seriously if we don’t want too, but she does thrive on schedule. So we have tried to maintain a schedule while having lots of fun too! And we are getting to FaceTime our family and friends which helps! Below are some of the pictures from our quarantine time in March and April!
Summer Break 2019
This summer seriously flew by! It didn’t help we spent the first part staging our home to sell. Then the middle selling and buying a home. And at the end we spent it packing and moving. I really had big hopes for our summer, but we didn’t accomplish half of what I thought we would. However, after looking through all these pictures below, I realized we sure did have a lot of fun even during the chaos!
July 4th
This year we decided to keep July 4th low-key. We are in the process of selling our house, and we wanted to spend one last year celebrating in our neighborhood. It also gave us a nice break at home before the chaos of moving begins.
Huntsville Botanical Garden Winter 2018/2019
So the entire winter, we went to the Botanical Gardens ONE time! It was too cold and too wet all winter. Or it just wasn’t convenient on the pretty days. We did find a decent day early March to go, so it was barely still winter, ha! Check out all the pictures below.
Summer 2018
Unfortunately with the Alabama heat and bugs, we have not spent near as much time outside this summers I would have liked. But we did make the best of it!
Huntsville Botanical Garden Summer 2018
So earlier this summer, Emily and I decided to become members at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. It is something we started discussing last summer, and neither of us really jumped on it. So one day in May, we just decided to go! Because of the crazy Alabama heat, we haven't visited but a handful of times this summer so far. We are really hoping to visit more this fall, winter, and spring when the weather cools off. However, below is a sneak peek of our trips so far!
Splash Pad Fun
Emily and I decided to take our girls to a splash pad for the first time recently. We waited until school was back in session so that the crowds would be fairly small. Our local outdoor mall has a fun splash pad that is free that we used.
Outdoor Fun
Since the weather has warmed up, we try and get outside more with Melody. She loves being outside, but it is a lot of work sometimes! Once she is walking, it should be easier. Anyhow, we are hoping to spend more time outside over the next few months. Check out some of the recent pictures below!
