Thanksgiving 2016

We started with the parade, of course :) Aunt JungMin had her lap full!

Then, we got to go out for a huge Thanksgiving lunch. This boy didn't mind one bit and at a lot of veggies.

When we got back from lunch, Poppop had a surprise for everyone. He has become a published author! He had printed a copy for each family, a book about his life. It was great to read and learn more about him :)

The author with two great-grandchildren:

Back at home (after some Black Friday shopping!!) we made hard-tack candy on Saturday. Lots of helpers at first ;)

So happy to end our holiday weekend with these (goof-ball) cousins! The five kids had a great time together -- at Christmas, Linlee will be in the mix :)

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 :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :) We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :) Maybe some day!
