Is it possible to fit an entire month's worth of fun into one blog post? I hope so, but I couldn't find a unifying theme for such a post. Therefore, let's just chalk this one up to Megan-playing-catch-up. I took Micah and Paul to the circus and it was such a pleasant outing! I was so thrilled with how enjoyable and easy it was to take two appreciative boys on a "date". The big highlight for Paul was that a dog rode on a horse!
Things are so exciting on Blue Heron Farm this time of year that Paul's awe-filled expression of, "Lets get compost, Grandaddy!" shows why we made a few trips to visit this month. 
Getting armfuls of yummy produce is more Micah's enticement.
For me, the big pull to the farm is seeing my sons spend time with their grandparents, and in this case, my grandpa.
May also marked the graduation of my JMU Bible study girls. I'm proud of each of them!
It sure was a good thing that I had such good helpers to get the vegetable garden ready! The boys' sunflower house is off to an amazing start, too.
Nesting: If only I could accomplish something this impressive in ONE HOUR! It is taking me months to get our nest ready for our baby to come, and I still don't think I'll be ready in a few weeks!
Carla and I took our four kids out of the womb and two in our bellies on a great outing to Luray Caverns.
Sylvan and Micah, Paul and Camille, and ? Tongen boy and ? Martin girl are already great friends!
I imagine that this picture captures a glimpse of what Paul will look like when he is older. It is also one of the only times in his life where I think he almost looks like me.
In the midst of a very cool garden maze at Luray Caverns, Paul is pointing at a sign saying "I told you to go the other way!" Take that, big brother Micah who was tricked by reading the previous sign!
The greatest Mother's Day present I have ever received was waking up from a nap to the sight of Anthony teaching Micah and Paul to wash the dishes for me!
All five of us went on a beautiful hike together.
Korry, Paul and Micah were great hiking buddies!
What a cute picture. 
Micah and Owen had a great time on their last preschool field trip to a dairy farm.
Micah had a tougher time saying "goodbye" to his preschool and his friends there than I realized he would. However, since he and Paul built a pulley system to lift the watering can to their fire station, I think that Micah is ready for Kindergarten-level physics. 
The picture above Paul's head and the one to the side of Micah's head were samples of Micah's artwork on display from his enrichment program at Redeemer Classical School. I am amazed at how much Micah's art skills and creative confidence improved in one semester!
Paul, Zeke and Micah got to hold baby chicks at the Book festival.
We took a trip to Lancaster over Memorial Day weekend for a great visit with the Laceys. Considering what constant motion these four cousins generate, I can only imagine what it will be like when we add the fifth boy into the mix!
Firefighters-in-training: the first step is to stop fidgeting with your chin strap.
Maybe the dream of becoming farmers and firefighters is possible after all!
Last weekend, we went to a folk life festival with Grandma Bev and had a wonderful time! Don't miss the beautiful views of Nelson County.
With practice, Micah was able to play this old-timey game at a beautiful plantation.
Paul found a shady spot just his size.
