My favorite “it’s warm outside” beverage – Passion Tea Lemonade {unsweet}
An afternoon at Kohler spa with Leanne? Yes, please!
Hello!
A lovely spring flower is a fantastic accessory for Bert, dontcha think?
Love our town!
Bert was moved to the back yard while our sidewalk & driveway gets a makeover. The birds & squirrels love the new addition!
Goodbye sidewalk!
Heading south to Atlanta for a wedding weekend.
Hey Lemont friends! This is what spring looks like!
Relaxing & preparing for the wedding.
Quiet.
Josh & Amanda’s wedding party.
Good looking couple, right?
Kellan! Haven’t seen him in 15 years. A sweet reunion of old friends.
It was an honor to be there.
Liz!
We have only had a few snowfalls {insert sad face}. I’m ready for a huge snowstorm. Maybe not as huge as Winter Storm Nemo, but enough for us to enjoy for longer than a few days. After the last snowfall the younger kids built a snowman. They named him Frosty, of course.
The next morning, I opened the curtains in front of my desk and noticed Frosty was staring at me. The kids told me they chose to put him there so I could see him. Sweet, right?
Do any of you own Uggs? I’ve had a pair for 4 years now. Last week was the first time I’ve noticed their lovely footprint. Do all Uggs have this footprint?
Welcome to the family! This is Benny. Our “new to us” Expedition. For this family of 6 it was a great trade. She has bucket seats in the 2nd row that make it easier for 2 of us to sit all the way in the back without climbing over seats. Oh, and the heated front seats may have been a deal clincher for me.
I got a little excited a few weeks ago when I found this shirt in the exercise clothing section at Target. It has thumb holes! I’m not sure why I was shopping in the exercise clothing section. Maybe it was a premonition of what’s to come? {see next picture} Or sometimes you just shop at Target and find something that you had given up on finding. Now I just need more hoodies with thumb holes. Are you listening, Target?

Reading these two books right now on loan from the library: 
Mornings with Eden continue to be filled with randomness and fun. One day last week she decided to take out her class picture and tell me all about each kid in her class.
Our Sunday lunch this week was inspired by Spam. Every now and then I’ll pick some up at the store and we’ll make some Grilled Cheese Spamwiches. Everyone loved them!
In 3 days we head to the mountains of North Carolina to kick-off our Summer! The kids are bursting with excitement! My excitement kicks in when we pull out of the driveway. Between now and then, the to-do list is long with laundry to do and bags to pack.
It is always tough to finish strong this time of year, but we are proud of our boys & how they have dug in and are doing well in school.
I tried Pho for the first time on Saturday night. Honestly, I had no idea it was soup until it was delivered. The menu said something like “rice noodles, onions, scallions, beef, shrimp, cooked in chicken broth”. I suppose the “cooked in chicken broth” should have been the clue for me that it was going to be soup. The waitress placed this HUGE bowl in front of me. I looked at Greg, clueless. We laughed. I googled “How Do I Eat Pho?” TGFG! {thank goodness for google!} The 
My dear friend, Leanne, {
Grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things to – I realize that makes me sound like a spoiled brat. 
We surprised the kids one night by making smore’s using our outdoor fire pit. Huge hit!
One of our favorite things about this house is an art project that Greg started when we lived here the first time – album covers on the ceiling in our sun room. We only have about 50 more until it’s completed. 
One of my favorite things to do – write in my journal.
A yummy lunch – egg salad sandwich and strawberries.
A gift to myself – fresh flowers. 
Listening to the wind blow through the trees. 
I joined a fitness class! My body is in shock but I am really enjoying the workouts {I cannot believe I just said that!}
