May 2010 part 2

More from the Botanic Gardens...




On a totally different note, I've started working on what is typically known as a "quiet book". I've got tons of ideas. This is my first page. It is a color match page. The stars have magnets in them, so they will stay together. Maybe I'll have a few pages done before our car trip this weekend. =)

May 2010

Happy Memorial Day! It's almost time to say good-bye to another month. There is so much going on and yet nothing at the same time. Our house in Texas is now up for sale, so the next few months should be interesting one way or another. We are enjoying a quiet day off...some shopping, some napping, some Dave and Busters. We had a great picnic at church yesterday and took a meal to a friend with a new baby. I (Susan, of course) have a bit of an easier week since the family I work for is on vacation, but I will still be doing some work. Another friend of mine had twins this week (the sister-in-law of the first friend), and both of the twins are in the NICU. They also have an 18 month old daughter, so we might be helping a bit with that this week. On Saturday, we are heading to Houston for a 3 day "vacation" to see a bit more of Texas before we move on. In pictures, I am catching up a little, since I somehow neglected to get some of these off the camera from Nathan's graduation and having family in town. Enjoy! These are all from our trip to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. I'm trying to upload more, but it's giving me trouble, so I guess I'll have to try again later.

Checking out the contents...
Excited about his new train set
VERY excited. This is kind of an awkward but funny picture. He was doing a happy dance. His smile could not be bigger.
Hooray! So much fun

Easter Saturday

Today we went to another Easter thing, a "Spring Fling" at a church that our friend Emma works at. It was really fun! Here Gabe was going down a fire truck slide.
A pirate ship slide...

With his friend, Charlie. They had so much fun together!

We decided to make a family of bunnies for our Easter craft. Results below

And, Gabe's bean sprouted overnight. How fun! No, you are not losing your sight. It is a blurry picture. =)
