Weekend Getaway

Brendan is enjoying his ice cream cone.

Kailyn all dressed up and ready for church. Yes, she is as sweet as she looks. :)

Lauryn loves her babies.

All three kids before church.

I travelled to Canada with Paul this past weekend. He dropped me off in Woodstock so I could spend some time with Dordt friends, John and Kristin and their three kids. He then continued on to Toronto.

It was wonderful seeing John and Kris again. It had been about three years since we last saw each other which is just plain ludicrous since we live less than 5 hours apart. Anyway, it was fun getting to know the kids too. They are beautiful, fun-loving kids, and we played catch and Playstation, and flew a remote-controlled dragonfly. Saturday we went to St. Jacobs which is a Mennonite area. There was a great farmer's market where I suckered for a metal lawn ornament. I put it out today in front of the house and it looks pretty good. The weather was amazing and much to Kailyn's delight we enjoyed ice cream cones before heading back home.

Hopefully our next get together will happen sooner than three years from now. . .

Burnishing again. . .

Thought I'd share with you another Uppercase Living project. I'm hopeful that we're done with snowstorms for the season, so that the elements won't ruin the design! I thought it turned out pretty good. The message on the door is for all of you. You are "welcome" anytime. I love visitors. :)

Sure Signs of Spring. . .

• Tigers' baseball - OK, so far they are 0-5, but things have to turn around, right?
• The ice cream truck started making it's rounds through the neighborhood. Annoying little jingle, but good childhood memories. . .
• chicken on the grill - Yum!
• I used my sunroof for the first time!
• neighborhood kids wearing shorts. (It wasn't that warm, was it?)
• the sun!
