Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone had a good Memorial weekend. This past week has been pretty busy for us, but it means many opportunities for pictures. :)

Monday, May 18

One of our favorite drinks for dinner is sweet tea. Mara constantly asks for it and likes to help John make it.

Mara wanted to play in her sandbox when she got home from school today. We also planted some sunflower seeds so we could watch them grow.

Wednesday, May 20

It's hard to believe that we've had Doxy for almost eight months. She has really grown during that time.

Aunt Kathy came to town this week with Beverly, Phil, and Johnnie for PJ's graduation tomorrow. We all got together at my dad's house tonight for dinner. It was a full house, but it was a lot of fun.

Friday, May 22

Today was PJ's graduation from Northwood University. It was also his birthday, so we celebrated both occasions, along with their wedding and the announcement that they'll be parents soon.

Saturday, May 23

We went to Mike & Myra's today because everyone was gathering there, including all of Myra's Filipina friends. Mara and Lani had a lot of fun together today, and they enjoyed a bath at the end of the night.

Sunday, May 24

John had today off, so it was a family day for us. We ran some errands and had dinner at Red Robin so I could get my free chicken burger for my birthday.

Monday, May 25

Today was a pretty quiet day as Mara and I spent most of it at home. Mara decided to make a hideout with our couch pillows and a blanket. She used the hideout to play with her Ariel and Snow White dolls. I also checked on her sunflowers that we planted a few days ago, and one of them has already sprouted!
