Visit to Mimi & Poppop's

We got to visit with Mimi and Poppop this past weekend! We started off the weekend with a visit from Mrs. Fay - and April wanted to show her shades off while Mrs. Fay was there :)

Chloe taught her about her computer:

and we got this picture of the two together - Can you see the love between them? :)

I think the other highlight of the trip (besides Mimi's wonderful cooking) was a trip to a local playground & seeing the ducks. I was back at the house to watch over April while she was napping (really hard work!) and Mimi stayed back too (to do a hard job of cooking a turkey!) so it was just Dad, Poppop, and Chloe.

Here she is with the ducks!

oh, I didn't mention that she had NO FEAR of these ducks? I mean, seriously, no fear. They come up to her waist and here she is casually feeding one FROM HER HAND.

After the bread, she moved on to dried corn kernels - I don't know who was more excited, the ducks or Chloe! :)

Meanwhile, back at home, April was teaching Uncle Sandy how to crawl ;)

And, Auntie Kristen stopped in on Saturday for a quick hello (and a left-over plate!).

Overall, it was a wonderful trip.....and I realize I haven't even posted a picture of the hosts! Thank you for a great visit Mimi and Poppop!!

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!
