River Weekend
Maw and Mommy took the kiddos and headed to the river last weekend (sans Daddy and Paw b/c they each had something else).
We went out to dinner at a new little pizza place... yum!
But on Saturday night, Paw arrived! YAY!
Just in time to read the kids their new Dr Seuss books from Gram.
Sunday morning called for a canoe ride!
I love these pictures.
A little boy doesn't like to have his picture taken ;)
Duck! About to go under the dock!
Monster Truck
Our friends, Joy and Tim, gave Peter a monster truck kit, like the one he got for Christmas from Mike's parents. Peter asked to do it every day until it was done ;).
He ended up taking it in for show and tell on St Patty's Day!
Birthday Celebrations
We went to Mom and Dad's for my birthday weekend!
And some of our favorite people joined us for dinner!
Peter and Lily enjoyed cake, of course!
The kids enjoyed time with Uncle Henry!
Lily and Henry read the paper together in the mornings! ;)
After we came home, Lily helped me open my gift from Mike!
Its a beautiful jewelry box that Mike MADE for me. He made it out of mahogany that he bought while we lived in Morocco 6 years ago (how has it been that long?! makes me feel like I need to go back!) but never finished it. He's spent many "spare" hours recently finishing it for me. I love it! He came up with this name design for us when we were dating/engaged. So he carved it under the top of the box. Its my name right side up and his name from the other way. And he made a little stamp out of the design (while we were engaged) and sealed my birthday note with it.
Kathy came over one afternoon of the following week and brought a mini birthday party to us! Cupcakes!
(This is when we were all 3 sick... can you tell in Lily's eyes?!)
Finally, Mike and I went out for a fun date night the following weekend. I love stretching it out. Since it was great weather, we walked up to a favorite restaurant near us!
Picasa has lots of fun new editing effects (these pics are done in "HDR"... so you may be seeing lots of those on here! :)

best medicine
Now Mike is sick. Well, he has our bad cold & explosive-feeling head, which we'll take any day over last winter's mess, but nonetheless annoying and crappy. Just not anxiety-ridden.
The kids and I are feeling better after antibiotics. Yay!
And I feel too overwhelmed with all I haven't blogged, that I can only do this one pic. :)
Plus, you can see our new quilt... isn't it FUN?! Its called "Casablanca". It was meant to be. :)

C minus
Clouds, colds, congestion, coughs... apart from yesterday's sunshine, it feels like that's all we've had for the past 10 days. I'm so over it. The clouds as much as anything else... come on, sunshine & warm weather, together! Come on, clear heads!
