The rest of the story

The rest of our Memorial Day Weekend was spent in pure bliss
at my parent's house in St Clair Shores.

Elijah slept in
My mom made luxurious Belgian waffles for breakfast
I got a tan laying out at 10:00am
Took Elijah to the Memorial Day parade
Drank homemade strawberry-lemonade
Followed by made from scratch margaritas
Devoured Art's yummo chicken and steak fajitas
With his homemade guacamole
Ended the night with a campfire + reese's peanut butter s'mores

Would only have been better if Shannon & Suzanne could have joined us. =(

The kids love having grandma + grandpa around!
I thought mom's face was funny in this picture (above), it looks like she just spotted something very large, scary and most likely dangerous.
But I have no idea what was actually happening there.
Oh, this is Elijah's cousin, Isla [pronounced EE-SLA, like 'island' in Spanish. cool!]
- doesn't she have the MOST beautiful blue eyes?!

A toast!
To warm weather, long weekends, and having family together.

Dad chillin' on their gorgeous new deck. Railings coming soon...

Mom made these sneaky red-white-and-blue cupcakes.
Nin sat back and looked like her beautiful little self.
Jason visited and continued recovering from back surgery.
Art put mom & dad's charcoal grill together... then he grilled on it.
And we all ate, drank and were merry.

Mom and I took Elijah down the road to catch the end of the parade.
He clapped and clapped and clapped.
And kept taking his hat off.

Grandma & Grandpa. Love you guys.

Blossoms & Bikes

Last weekend we took Elijah to the Holland Tulip Festival. It was windy and busy, but the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Elijah is fascinated by flowers and trees and leaves lately, so it was a perfect trip for him. Well, that, and -- he got french fries and lemonade!

We just found a website that lists all of the festivals in Michigan, and we're going to go to as many as we can! Unfortunately, we already missed the Dandelion Festival last weekend and will have to miss the Mushroom Festival this weekend. Our loss, for sure.



Enjoying the fair's fare

Here's Elijah's recent garage-sale treasure.
He thinks he is tough stuff...
Don't tell him big boys don't bring their blankets on their bikes.
