Recent Happenings...

Kevin's parents came to meet April Hope last weekend ~ we were glad they were able to come so soon after they arrived back from Mark & JungMin's wedding....

Although they were probably exhausted, I'm glad that they got to see April when she was just 2 weeks old! Of course, Chloe enjoyed having them here too :)



Kevin was out of town for a few days last week and I managed to survive with both girls - probably because we got out of the house a little bit, had Grandma B stop in, and meals come from church :) It's much better having him home, of course! :)

This past weekend we planted vegetables in our garden. This year, Kevin had an assistant....



We have peas, lettuce, zucchini, tomatoes, broccoli, and cucumbers...carrots will be planted soon!

I was in charge of making our 'flags' to encourage the birds to stay away from our seeds....

...and look at how much help my assistant was :)




We're looking forward to enjoying the produce from our garden later this summer!!

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!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
