Is it Tuesday Already?

Our long weekend was wonderful. My niece graduated on Sunday and we saw some very dear friends from very far away yesterday. We had our 13th annual Memorial Day party. The parade passes in front of our house and every year we say we'll keep it small and we’ll keep it just close friends and family and let me say we are blessed because this year we did keep it just close friends and family and we had 42 adults, and 23 kids (16 of those kids are under the age of four) at our place yesterday. Ben and Jaime made it with their darling baby daughter Emma all the way from Twenty Nine Palms California over 2,000 miles and Chris and Olivia with their gorgeous boy Alex 2 ½ came 3,622 miles from Ireland. We also caught up with a few close friends we hadn’t seen in ages. It was wonderful. Here’s our little chunk of parade route as seen from across the street. Hope all of you had a relaxing weekend.

It sprinkled a little and that felt really nice 'cause it was like 90*

We look forward to the Bombadee's for Memorial Day every year, and this year did not disappoint. It was wonderful seeing old friends and the kids LOVE being in the parade.

Thank you to our fabulous hosts!
