happy birthday to bobby

it was bobby's birthday last week and we had lots of celebrations-including the making of the cheesecake which has been an annual tradition for some time now-












on tuesday, his actual birthday, a new baby wanted to be born-so i needed to be at the hospital that night, so instead of dinner at home-the kids and i ran to costco and picked up some shrimp cocktail, grapes, and another cheesecake and had a very nice picnic after grant's baseball practice.


the weather has been really great-and i just am soaking all that spring brings-sitting in the sunlight,  walks through the woods, and on saturday it was warm enough to bring out the big water slide.


 i'm experimenting with a new black and white software-it is slower than i like-but i like the feel of this vintage preset.

it was a crazy first week of april-with my aunt in the hospital, a preemie baby, and a nasty fall that caused this crazy big bump on anneliese's head. i'm glad to report that my aunt is on the mend at home now, the baby was bigger than expected and doing well in the nicu, and anneliese's forehead is almost as good as new. amazing what a little time and lots of love and prayers can heal....






and i'm so happy that it is finally warm enough to start up the outdoor shower again and it was a very welcomed addition after they coated themselves in mud :)



bobby's dad and lillian hosted a huge combined birthday party for all the spring birthdays. it was so fun to be with everyone for the afternoon-the boys played music, the kids ran around and we got to catch up on some relaxed family time.


as we were leaving a fierce looking storm approached-it made a great show as we drove home
