A lovely occasion

Last weekend we had the pleasure of joining in a celebration of ordination for friends of ours.  It was really a wonderful celebration to be part of.  Quite a number of others from church journeyed as well, so it was a double bonus weekend away with friends!

Congratulations Mark! and Darcie!

No Foolin'

It was mom's bday recently. Which means a trip to the local Catholic Parish for a fish pick up.  

I'll have 16 meals please. 

It was like another fish miracle right in the ol' kitchen on Cherrywood!  

So much Walleye! and so much fun with family and friends!

Ta daaaa! Cake! Thanks Becca!

William and Harry playing together - too sweet

Tuesday night dad took us out for dinner to celebrate on the actual day.

First Fran begged, then she celebrated. #spoiled

 Another birthday in the record books, fish in the belly, and cake on the hips! :)

Magic Eye

Do you see it?

Here's what I was (Hopp)ing for:

Hoppy Easter!

Turns out

So as it turns out our kitty niece is the laziest of all felines.  I mean truly.  I've never met such a lazy little one!  I think she has picked up on her mother's desire for max comfort. Fran takes cat napping to a whole new level, 'Cat Passing-Outs' perhaps is a better descriptor for her naps. I really cant even get an alert Fran photo.

One night before heading out to dinner on the other side of town with friends, I flopped the blanket over Fran just to see what she'd do. I know what Regina would do, and that is freak out, spring off the couch, and run away!
Fran stayed. We left. We returned. We couldnt find Fran. I flipped the blanket back. I found Fran. Unmoved. 3 hours.

This is how we found her Sunday after church.  I asked Peter if he had covered her before we left. No. She burrowed for max comfort.

Be jealous feline community. Be jealous.
And the best news of all?  We're looking at having her for quite some time!

The Butterflies!

The butterflies have bloomed at the Meijer Gardens!

Peter and I are thoroughly enjoying our membership.  We've been 3 times in the last 2 weeks!

Great gift from my honey love.

Overnight, not All Nighter

The key between the two is an overnighter means there will be some sleep, and allnighter not so much. It's official, we're really too old for those kinds of shenanigans. We had a good time, even if I did need an early bed time and nap on Sunday!

Coordinating pillowcases are a must :)

Late night Pizza Rolls!  

Lots of games, including Bunco, a prize auction, dark church games, and a showing of Frozen!

 Mmmm breakfast!

Playing in Photoshop

I came up with this.  

A good reminder :)
