The good life

Hanging out with Gwen on her birthday

 

Aunt Becca was in town for the weekend and Gwen shared her special day hanging out with us in Hastings.  Photos courtesy of Sarah B.  Should we talk about Nathan's squishiness?

Assignment: Snapshot

Inspired by a couple of my friends whose blogs I read regularly here's a picture of my now.  Ironically it took me awhile to get it posted.

A quick snapshot of loveliness and here's why...

Jake's little pile of noodles.  He likes to eat them separate.
Homemade chicken stir-fly and brown sauce.  My favorite meal to cook.  Everyone's favorite meal to eat.
Not pictured but across the table...Scott.
The broom handle in the back corner.  It isn't bugging me that I didn't move it.  No, really...it's not.  Remember...this is a snapshot.  No editing, no staging.  Just now.

Happy day to you!

Spring has sprung

These little yellow flowers are the first of many popping up in our front yard.  Last fall when we moved in we cleared out all of the weeds, overgrown shrubs, and pretty much created an empty canvas.  Our painting is in progress and it brings me much joy!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Gwendolyn's first birthday party!

Cousins!

Scott's cousin, Randy and his family (Julie, Zachary, Cole, Brandt) made their way from Iowa to Minnesota for a little weekend getaway.  We got to be their first stop.  Thanks for coming you guys and hope you had a fantastic weekend!
