May was CRAZY around here! Full of surprises and time with family and more surprises! Here’s a just a few highlights from last month…
1. My sister Ashley & her husband Caleb flew to Statia for a surprise visit and what a surprise it was! My sister took video of the minute I first saw her walk into our house and…well, lets just say there was lots {and lots} of screaming & a few tears! It was the best surprise of my life! I love that sister of mine and have missed her so much while we’ve gone!
2. We did so much with the sis and the brother in law while they were here! Hiking, visiting the botanical garden, going to the beach and going to the beach again. Caleb & Ashley went out snorkeling with Randal one day and got to swim with this cute turtle!
3. Spending time with my sister! Highlight of May for sure!
4. The kids loved showing Aunt Ashley & Uncle Caleb around Fort Oranje! We even picked some fresh mangos while we were there & enjoyed THE yummiest fresh mango + coconut smoothie for breakfast one morning.
5. Ok, the sister visiting was definately a highlight of May, but so was the surprise weekend trip to St. Maarten that my husband planned for us!!! My sister and her husband watched the kiddos for us while we got away for a few days and it was SOOOOO nice. Definately a much needed break. 🙂 One of my favorite photos from our weekend getaway: Randal at Maho Beach watching the airplanes fly in.
If you’ve created a collage of your month in photos for May {any collage at all, you definately don’t have to use one of my templates} I’d love for you to share it with us! Just grab a button and link up below!
I can’t wait to see your photos! 🙂

For those of you finding it tricky to narrow down your favorite photos to only 5 or 10 each month, I whipped up this 12X12 collage just for you! Use as is, crop it smaller or even create a two page spread and you could fit as many as 22 photos from your month in there. You can download the 12X12 collage HERE. Enjoy! 🙂
I definately find it a process to pick out my five photos each month but I’m determined to keep this as easy as possible and for me, less photos to edit, crop and fit into a collage = the simplest thing right now. Some months I wish I could fit more in but, meh, no biggie. I’m planning to combine my collages together into an album one day that will include point form journaling of the events from each month. The photos will serve as an overview, with the written list being a more detailed account of each months happenings.

I had a really hard time limiting my photo’s too. That plane picture is AMAZING!
I will have to remember this next month! Adorable photos!
