Another "see you later"

By
Lynda has come and gone.  While she was here we did an experimental day out in the rain and I will be going shopping this week to buy rain gear.  Waterproof and rain resistant are not the same thing.  Also, umbrella's do not always keep you dry.  Some things you just don't learn in the desert.
We played tennis
 played at the park
 went to the capitol, art museums, monuments, etc.
I like to take the metro whenever possible to avoid driving downtown.  One day it didn't work out and I braved the streets again.  It was successful and we didn't get lost, found parking and had no near accidents to take years off my life.  (Leanna may have lost a few years while she was here).
Lynda gave us much needed haircuts, helped with homework, fixed dinner and proved I'm not the best hostess around.  We loved it.  We want to take her with us but I don't think her husband would approve.  (You could come too Josh)!

Springtime with Grandma L.

We were so happy to have Grandma come and visit this Spring.  Even more exciting was that she was able to stay for Easter!!!  I love having family visit for holidays! Some of the thing we did during her short stay: We went to the International Festival at the kids school where we ate food from many different countries.  It was delicious.  The girls decided to stay at the festival while we took Nicholas to the Embassy Easter Egg hunt in the snow. Although it doesn't look cold, I lost feeling in my extremities.  It was freezing.  Because of the weather a lot fewer people showed up than expected so the amount of eggs to collect rose from the original amount of 12 to however many could fit in the basket. We visited Keukenhoff in Holland to see the beautiful flowers.  While we did see beautiful flowers, most of them were indoors as it has been a very cold spring.   Flower Fashion Outside the crocus' were blooming and the...

Making dreams come true...

...one tree at a time. Poor little trees. You know the ones. Not quite pretty enough for the cherished Christmas tree. Standing all alone in the forest. Or maybe not standing alone, but so close to the perfect tree next to them that only one side is presentable. Wishing, hoping, wanting for someone to come along who recognizes them for what they are on the inside. Who cares that the branches are too scrawny to hold lights up? We try to help the less glamorous trees every year. It makes them feel good. And this year's tree was perfect for the kids to decorate all by themselves. I helped by picking out the lightest ornaments so the tree would not topple over. I know you're all jealous. It makes a great conversation piece and causes laughter for all who come to our house. If you would like a house full of jolly company next year, think of the trees. Make one happy. You can even keep most of the decorations in the box.

Temple Trip

Lindsay went to the temple for the first time and since the temple closest to us is in The Netherlands and we would be gone for a long time we took the little guy with us.  I miss the days when I had family and friends willing to take an extra kid for the day but he was a champ and waited in the waiting room by himself for hours.  It won't be long before he's old enough to go inside with us.  They grow up so fast.
