Hello, Minnesota!

Minnesota came to visit again! Our very good friends, Scott, Kathy & Grace from Eagan, who have visited us a few times since we moved to Pekin, came to see us again over the weekend, and this time, they brought us a very special surprise... more friends from Minnesota! Mary, Alisa & Kady all came to see us for the first time. It was so good to be with old friends again, and as our children get older, our time together becomes even more wild and fun. The kids seemed to have a great time, and I think Drew really liked having someone his own size to play with! The women shopped, the men played video games, the kids played, ate, and slept...a fantastic weekend was had by all!!

Because we had all decided on our own that we weren't going to dye Easter eggs this year because our kids are still too little, we thought it might be fun to give it a try while all of them are together. (Unfortunately, it was Grace's nap time, but as it turned out, moms and dads did most of the dyeing anyway!)

Ready for his egg...

Into the dye...

"What's it doing in there???"

"Hmm...."

"Oh, I get it."

"Yea!!"

Thank you, thank you, Scott, Kathy, Grace, Mary, Alisa & Kady, for taking the time off of work and traveling so far to come and see us! We really appreciate it! We had a great time!
