Connor's Visit Part 1

You've seen the video of our Sunday evening with Connor - my parents came down for pizza and playing, and these three had a ball. 





Connor usually comes to our house around holidays, and that doesn't afford too much playing time. His requests on Sunday night before bed were "vaccuming" and "playing downstairs".  Easy peasy! That's what we did on Monday...









Monday night we had dinner and then went to my parents church to play.  Connor got a little over-heated that night, so Tuesday we made sure he kept cool: 

The next popular request was "go to the dancing library"....which means, he wanted to go to a class at our library.  He didn't dance....

but he did have fun at the train table!


Wednesday morning we went to church for my Bible Study, and then later in the evening, Connor was reunited with his Mom!! :) 

We've been talking about doing this since the spring, and Wednesday night it happened: Going to see Mrs. J.'s horse.  We didn't know how it would go, but we kept telling the kids that the horse was "as big as the van" :) 

Chloe and me meeting Strough (not the one we rode)


April meeting Tex (the one we rode)

So, we were brave! Everyone rode the horse!!




and, then everyone rode BY THEMSELVES. The parents couldn't believe it :)  Neither could the kids :)





Also, there were chickens.  Who liked to eat clover.  And little children who don't care how hot it is and run around like crazy ;)


Connor's Visit Part 2 (including birthdays!) coming soon!!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
