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!!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)  

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 :)

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!
