Long awaited photos...

We recently visited Battle Creek and the kids went on the Gator with "Pinka Farmer" down to the woods mushroomin'. Unfortunately we were unsuccessfully but we did have tons of fun looking and the kids loved exploring the woods!

Lilly is forever picking up critters and while it is hard to see you can imagine my disbelief when she smiled up at me with her hands tightly closed and claimed she had an "itsy bitsy frog." It took a lot of begging for her to let me take a photo -she knew it would hop away, but after much convincing that it belonged in nature and now there would forever be a photo she agreed.






The left photo is of Hannah and I at the Mother's Day tea. She "cordially invited" me to be her guest. The kids sang songs and recited poetry as a group and then we went to their classes and had muffins (made by them) and lemonade. Each child also wrote poems for their parent. What lovely poems Hannah wrote for me... she is such a blessing and a joy.

On the right is Katherine and Natalie reading and Natalie was sure the book was over and wanted to be sure Katherine would be prepped to continue reading - no interruptions. My she is getting big.

Crazy week...

Just seems like I haven't made it to update the site and I keep meaning to, I just never quite seem to get to it. So at least you know I haven't completely forgotten. I have lots of great photos - I will get to them this weekend. In the interim here are a few highlights since last time.

We spent last weekend at my parents in Battle Creek and all the grandkids had a fabulous time together - especially the big ones hunting mushrooms in the woods - what fun to explore. Also a slumber party that made for 5 out of 7 at Gma and Pinka's house.

Lilly put her top teeth - almost - not quite through her bottom lip and is recovering well. How, getting off the bed, not even goofing around but bumped her chin just so. She has an abrasion of teeth marks on the outside to complement the hole on the inside so it just shows how close she came to going through.

Tomorrow night is the Spring Fling at school - annual fundraiser with games, raffles and tons of fun.

Bed time for my angels - gotta tuck them in as Daddy is golfing... Photos will be added soon.
