Check out Finn, liking the outdoor exploration at Grandma and Grandpa’s! We headed to Mansfield on Mother’s Day for a nice afternoon of walking around the yard and hanging out together. All of the kids had fun running about and going back and forth over the bridge. It was a nice, sunny afternoon which was a welcome change!
The week was a blur for me, up until Saturday, when we headed over to Amy and Andy’s to celebrate Graham’s 4th birthday. Where does the time go? I remember heading to Michigan the day Amy texted to say she was in the beginning stages of labor, now Graham is an energetic and lovable 4 year old! Amy put together quite a lovely ocean-themed party complete with cute foods including a homemade fish cake. And there were plenty of photo opportunities in the cute red boat!
Here are some of Amy’s photos of Finn too 🙂
On the project updates: Kevin is continuing to work on taking down the walls in the kitchen and determining what needs to be moved from within the existing walls and where it can go! We’ve also been tossing around ideas for cabinet colors and the layout of where everything will go – any and all feed back is welcome 🙂 And as if we didn’t have enough projects going, this year we wanted to have some veggie gardens and this weekend Kevin began building them! We may be getting in over our heads, but I’m excited to have a veggie garden. I remember when mom and dad had a big veggie garden in the side yard growing up, and I love that Finn loves to touch plants and smell flowers. I take him in to the seedlings in the dining room a few times a week to check on how the plants are growing. I’m really excited to have a garden where he can watch fruits and vegetables grow! I also planted up some new planters for the patio. It’s beginning to look like spring around here! Now, if I can be home during some of the daylight hours to enjoy it. Not to worry, I’m hoping that beginning this week things are on the downswing at work!
