Look at the two Teddys sailing their way out of May. Month ends do not come any cuter than this, I tell you!
I don’t know how it got to be the end of May already but here we are on the penultimate day of the month. Is it just me or is this year flying by extra fast?
May was mostly full of yay – despite the ark building weather – and in the spirit of full and thorough reporting, here’s the monthly wrap up.
