Stinkers

Our furry babies have BOTH been a bit on the naughty side lately.

See the dirt on the floor? matches the dirt on her paw.

Regina is definitely sneaking food from the pantry while the little one is just outside of the photo frame urging her on...

AND she's taken to reading my recipe magazine while I'm away!

It's like we're living with animals!

A day in the life of Moses

Besides getting a new baby sister, Mos got to:

Play with your cousin cat Madge

Play on the breakfast food at the mall and bags in the house

 Have bedtime stories read to you by Uncle Peter

What a great day!

Sweet Virginia

Virginia Bernice

She had lots of company on her first day of life. And why not? she came to us in miraculous fashion, and we're so thankful :)

Her brother was completely disinterested in her, more enamored with the curtains.

Every girl should have some Vera.

Perfect.

While the cat dad was away...

the kittens played! And I had guests over.

I was kinda funny how her mood changed as the week went on. where's dad?

Kim, Kari and Arie came over and we had dinner and a fire in the firepit with the first s'mores of the season!

Saturday morning I hosted a neighborhood brunch. Five ladies came and it was SO fun to gather. So much to talk about! I didnt know what to expect, but there were neighbors standing on my driveway chatting 3 hours after things began!

And then when the cat dad came home, everyone rejoiced!

May Flowers

It's bloom time on Kelsey! I just love this time of year, the grass is neon, the seeds I sprinkled in the beds are sprouting, and this year hanging baskets are planted!

I cant wait until these are filled out and flowing over!

I have been babying these peonies for three years now, we're four for seven on bushes with blooms

Grow on Kelseyscape!

Your Basic Memorial Day

This year our Memorial Day was standard fare. 

No trip or huge house project undertaking, just time at the lake, time with family and friends, biking, parade, etc.

Kinda like ordering scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon for breakfast; basic, but always good.

Friday and Saturday we were in South Haven. We poked through town including the Farmer's Market in the morning, biked, and then went for a boat ride in the afternoon.

Monday I dropped Peter off at the airport and then caught the tail end (as in: the firetrucks at the very end) of the Standale parade which included the flyover pictured below, and then spent a very nice afternoon with my pseudofamily - just love lazy days with them.

When I got home I honored my Veteran by giving his house a thorough cleaning. ;)

Glamorous! Glamorous!

40 Years of Luv

On May 17th we were able to celebrate my parents 40 years of luv! 

It was a great day at church, lovely surprises throughout the day, and a delicious brunch with family.

The best part to me was to see how much they enjoyed being surrounded with their family and friends, what a gift!

We're so thankful for them and were so glad to celebrate all weekend long!
