The whole family hung out, ate, played, celebrated!
We hadn't been together in a while. The older cousins had so much fun and the little one entertained us all! He would not stay still so I ended up with only one photo of him.

The rest of the week I was not so faithful with a photo-a-day.
Somewhere in there I finished listening to the audio book that tells the story of the Touhys, the family from the movie The Blindside. We highly recommend it.
Skye and I have been reading a missionary biography.
The week filled up with hair and doctor appointments, exercise classes, Bible study, and a very special tea with ladies I hadn't seen for months.
I dropped by the daughter's and admired her rearrangements--the cozy little nook, the hutch with several Klaytivity pieces I had forgotten.
Thursday evening, Malachi's game went on uninterrupted after an initial downpour. Rain has been a constant this week. I heard it has been the wettest April since the 1800s. Don't know if it's true.

Finally, one last bouquet.
I hope to work in the garden this week, if it doesn't rain.

The kids sure look like they're having fun. Had to grin when I read that Zion wouldn't stay still. Boys = perpetual motion :)
Have a wonderful week! See you soon!

ReplyDeleteLoved that fondant cake. Was it as good as it looked? I keep wanting to try to make one....still a little leery.
ReplyDeleteOoh - the cake is gorgeous! Was it tasty?
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of the kids having fun - and the one of you at the race - go you!
So impressed, as always, with your active lifestyle. I am, sadly, quite deficient in that area.
ReplyDeleteFun family times and great reading/listening!
I'm down here with Sara. And it's just been crazy here. Apparently, we've already had 3 times the average amount of rainfall for May. And that was in two days!! It's really pretty incredible. I'm happy to see the sunshine today, though!!
Such a cute little one :). And that cake looks wonderful!
