Happy Birthday Daddy


 We celebrated with some family time...
...a little egg hunt which thrilled the kids with new animal erasers, little toys, candy, and money...
...and a campfire supper :)












This Week

Maywood Hike





Hannah got a crayfish






his "fort"


"The Sand is Out"



The ice is melted, the snow is gone, and as Theo says, "the sand is out!"
No one minds it's still cool...sand feels so good!

I Can't Believe She's 12 Already




It just doesn't seem possible.

In my minds eye, I still her as blonde, with a watermelon green dress and pink leggings...
dimples in her elbows and hands...
cheerfully chirping her words with that little lisp...

They grow so fast.

Thank you Lord for her though.
12 years around the sun yesterday.
Such a gift she is.


celebrating at Grandma's with cousins


and at home yesterday with family

hard to see - but it's snow/hailing - photo credit Celene

This is what was falling from the sky in the previous picture..so interesting!
It was cold like snow, but felt sort of "pluffy" (kids term) like foam

another amazing sunset
