The month began with an unexpected trip to New York for Sandy's dad's funeral. Fortunately, Jacob & I were able to stay over in Bayside and spend some quality time with Sandy and her family. Jacob and Ethan (BFFs even though they don't know it) provided plenty of distraction in the grieving household.

The month got better as we celebrated Mother's Day with a trip to the Columbia restaurant in Tampa.

Other highlights: Steve came to visit (twice in the same month); Alisha's end-of-year 1st grade program; Sam, Sonya & Jasmine visit; Alisha takes her first private swimming lesson; Alisha has her dance & tap recital (no photography allowed, just in case you're wondering why there are no pictures).
