May 2020

I'm gonna call this 'Made it May' :) I feel like this month had some different challenges as online school was in full swing all month, Justin returned to work, we had to say good-bye to our first litter of kittens, and we felt lots of emotions adjusting to changes. 

Here's how we made it through and made some wonderful memories too :)

We got outside! LOTS! Whether riding bikes or a scooter, going for a walk, playing games, or a campfire, we got some fresh air and sunshine :)

There is a kite up there, can you find it? 

We made inside fun too...

We completed lots of school projects, not everything was on the computer!

We had fun with our pets

And welcomed a new litter of kittens

We celebrated some special days too. 

Rose got to use power tools to make me a special Mother's Day gift.

And she dressed up as the cutest unicorn to deliver it :)

Our family grew! Only Justin was able to attend his brother's wedding in person, but Rose and I enjoyed watching it from home :) Congrats!

We got all festive for Memorial Day! 

We've come a long way in 9 years! (not sure we're gonna be able to do this one in another 9 years!)

April 2020

What a month! But in true Stillinger Family style we made the most of it and had lots of fun making memories :)

We got outside, as much as possible! Nothing makes me feel better than fresh air and luckily we had some really nice days to enjoy :)

We dug out the train set and Rose has become a pro at making her own tracks.

Justin taught Rose how to do burn outs on her bike...so that's cool :)

We can't go camping anywhere yet, but a tent in yard is still fun!

We planted our sunflower seeds

And a few other flowers to cheer us up :)

We went on lots of walks

And bike rides! Rose tackled a 5 mile mountain bike trail with little whining, and she said she'd do it again! WIN :)

We made some new Easter memories.

Justin and Rose had a great time decorating eggs...

And Rose and mommy had a great time making peanut butter eggs!

We also made some yummy cookies

And made yummy boxes that we delivered to Rose's cousins :)

We sent Rose on an Easter scavenger hung

to find her 'basket' :)

We started 'home' schooling...I feel like I can check this one off a list that it was never on :) 

We're having some fun times, but we all miss school. 

Always the best part of April no matter what else is going on is celebrating our sweet girl!

Happy 9!!!

Rose also loves sharing a birthday month with her daddy!

And sharing a love for Legos :)
