Memorial Day Weekend

Sorry we are so far behind on the blog! As we found out this weekend, we have a LARGE reading audience; for which, we are very, very appreciative, I might add!

Memorial Day weekend we headed up north to spend the weekend with family. My birthday also happens to fall around Memorial Day every year (as does Sarah's, Becky's, and my Aunt Sue's), so it's nice to be "home" then! The weather was beautiful, so we got the kiddos outside a lot. They really like being outside; they enjoy the breeze and sunshine. They also don't seem to mind touching grass and leaves, which some kids hate!

We had several nice picnics with our various families, and we went to Sarah's First Birthday Party! Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures from the birthday party! I am always so amazed at how well Colin and Gillian do in crowds. Generally, they lead a pretty quiet lifestyle, so I'm never sure how well they will react to noise and chaos. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to phase them! And, everyone compliments them on how pleasant and cheerful they are. Makes a Mommy proud!

Some picture from Memorial Day weekend:
