Memorial Day

The front of our new house.
The backyard. It's gonna take a lot of grass!


Aunt Joanie and Uncle Paul taking the kids and Tramp for a bike ride.




Uncle Paul is so patient!



There they go!





On Memorial Day I took the kids out to play while Stephen put the swing set back together. The kids ran and ran. Whenever they heard the train, they ran to the fence...like they could see it. I swear 10 trains passed that day. I thought this was too cute.





Caleb was the designated taste-tester. He tasted at least 100 rocks. Why oh why do boys do that? I'm sure my neighbors and their guests got tired of hearing me say, "No rocks Caleb, spit it out!" His face was covered in dirt by the end of the day.




Even though Caleb is ALL BOY, he has a soft side for his sisters.




I felt like it was my birthday or Mother's Day because Stephen did all the work on Memorial Day. He brought the stereo and speakers out. He prepared the hamburger patties and the corn. He did the grilling and made sure my drink was never empty.



Look at this sweet face. Abby sat in her bouncy seat on the step and just chilled out with the rest of us. It was the best family day we've had....ever! I look forward to many more wonderful times like this in our new backyard.

Stephanie,

SO glad you guys are settled and the backyard looks like tons of fun. Lauren looks like a little woman now, so big, and Abby is precious. Seriously, we need to get Caleb together with my boys, he would be in good company!!
