Memorial Day Weekend

It was sure wonderful to have Morgan and Leah come to visit us for the weekend. Leah was especially glad to get out of the car seat after 4+ hours of riding.

Leah is having a great time with the yellow pages.

Tilling the garden last week when it was warm and dry. I didn't get it planted because it started to rain. Darn it.
That soil is so fluffy, but right now you could sink up to your shins in it.
Remember Hansel and Gretel? It was funny, because we had used the stock pot to heat the crab legs we had for dinner on Sunday, and then we found another use for it. It was a great place to kee Leah.
She was very content to sit in it and gum around the edge. It got very slobbery.
Then Alan thought it would be funny to put her on the stove. We should have had a picture of someone (me) slicing carrots into it. (Wicked Old Witch).

Here's our little sweetie pie all tuckered out. I love that she sleeps on her back.
This is a picture of some of the delicious things we had for dinner on Sunday: Crab legs, made by Morgan, Rice pilaf made by Zack, asparagus, made by Morgan, and lemonade, made by Zack. We also had a green salad and strawberry shortcake, assembled by Zack. They did a great job for my birthday dinner which we were celebrating a day ahead. Yum!
Leah met her great grandma and grandpa Baum for the first time this weekend. And of course they think she is the best.
Leah and Great grandpa Baum.
Leah and Great grandma Baum. Look at those faces. I love this picture. TThis is a good one of Leah looking at Grandma Baum. How cute.
We went to the cemetary on sunday evening to put flowers on the graves. Here are the flags waving at the side of the road on the cemetary grounds.
Morgan and Leah at Oliver and Luella's headstone.

Leah at the cemetary. It got a little windy and you could see her little fluffy hair blowing in the wind. How cute.
Standing at the headstone of Uncle George and aunt Dorothy. Dorothy just passed away in March. she had lived a good long life and will be missed.
Alan, Zack and I went to Ironman movie tonight. I liked it. It was different than I thought it would be. Alan did not fall asleep. We had a great weekend and this next week will be busy too. It was fun to hear from you about your weekends too. Glad you all called. It made my birthday lots of fun.

I love it! How cute! What a great idea to cook Leah up! I bet she was the yummiest snack you ever had.

She was sweet and tender and had some good little chubby legs.

Those were the cutest pictures ever. Isn't she so photogenic. I loved that picture of her and Roni. Adorable! I had to save quite a few to my files. I am glad that you had such a great weekend. Now it is on to the next great weekend. Congrats to our Zachary!

That picture of Leah with Grandma Baum is soooo cute! I'm glad you all had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good considering I had to work Friday-Monday (I had to take care of the boarding animals at the animal hospital). My best friend, Shelley, and her husband came up for the weekend to see us and her family, so we got to spend some time with them. We went to her traditional family luncheon out in Arimo and it was good to go back and see some people I know. One of these weekends we will make it up there when I'm not working at the Animal Hospital or working on our friends basement or going to temple weddings...busy, busy.
