2009 yearly round up: May - June

2009 May - June:

May was another blockbuster of a month.  looking back, i really don't know when we slept.  we were all over the place doing all kinds of stuff.  we officially started our gardening with the seattle tilth plant sale and had one weekend with 6 animals here all at once in our little 900 sf house.  we continued our work on the kitchen and i even had the time to finish a quilt for our nephew's first birthday.  JD also celebrated his birthday in May with a fiasco and some great handmade presents.  in the midst of all of this we found the time to go sailing one evening and little Baker had to undergo his big boy snip surgery.
reading about last May makes me tired... seriously.  now i am thinking about what we got done this month... not so impressive.

June began the push to wrap up some finishing elements of the house... all that little stuff that really matters like painting floor grills, organizing the cabinets, and installing long awaited shelving.  a lot happened this month to make this house, our house, really feel like home.  JD's welding project found a spot in front of the house and helped some little peas climb to the sunshine.


one thing i didn't include in my posting for April, May, or June of last year was that JD and i had decided to try and have a baby.  this was a decision that we didn't move into lightly and i decided not to post about it because there are some things that are just too personal to share as your going through them.   i really didn't think trying to have a baby would be so emotionally draining.  before we started trying i thought, if it didn't work out one month there would always be another month.  however true, i really under estimated the roller coaster of emotions.  those emotions sometimes played out in post last year, like this one,  or this one from June with little to no explanation.  since i am taking the time to recap the year i thought i would share with you the ups and downs that were hidden just below the surface.
