I cannot believe another month has flown by in the blink of an eye. I seem to say it every single month, but as of now we are a third of the way through 2015 and that just feels completely crazy to me. This month has been kind of a big one for us; with a trip away to see family, Easter shenanigans,  school allocation news and finally being able to share the big news that our family is growing later this year. 

And although May is technically the Spring still, I always feel like it signals the start of our summer, and I cannot wait for all the Summery adventures we're planning as a family. It kind of feels like it will be a kind of 'end of an era' summer before Autumn brings it's changes; with big school fast approaching for one, preschool looming for another, and the big changes of a new addition for us all. It really feels like we need to grab this summer and bottle it up, and thats exactly what we intend to do.

I don'r normally share quite so many similar family photos each month, but this next one nearly ended up on the cutting room floor, except I kept coming back to it and just couldn't not include it. It's clearly pretty imperfect with blowing hair and hidden faces, but something about it just makes me smile so hard. This is what my bonkers little family is like and I wouldn't have them any other way. That teeny tiny bump that you can't even really see is going to be so lucky to join this little team.

This month I am sending you to visit "the other Lucy", my very lovely Me and Mine cohost over at Capture by Lucy. She will without a doubt have a beautiful family post for you, and a snap of her with her gorgeous boys too. 

Keep following the circle around to see the other cohosts too and visit as many of the link ups as you can. It always gives me a good case of the warm and fuzzies visiting your posts, and I can't wait to see all the family loveliness you have to link up with us this month. Don't forget that by linking up with us, you stand a chance of winning a prize with our Me and Mine sponsor PhotoBox.
