What We've Been Up To...

Despite hanging around home, we have been keeping quite busy. The kids were super excited last week for the visit of Hal and Sharleen. They took a nice long drive from California to see us....well, maybe not just us. Although, I do think that Ella thinks they come to MN just to see her. Here are the kiddos with Sharleen & Hal:
Much to the delight of the kids, they came bearing gifts. The kids got some great books and the baby was gifted a beautiful blanket. Thank you so much for making our day!


The gift bag was a fun present as well... Thorn enjoyed it.



And so did Ella!








Here is a preggo pic of me and my "Uncle" Hal. Notice the two little monkeys hanging onto Hal's feet. They were trying to keep him from leaving, but their attempts failed...





Hal and Sharleen really came to MN to celebrate Hal's Dad's (My Great Uncle Tom) 90th birthday. Here is Great Uncle Tom with his great granddaughter and his great grandniece.

James has joined his sister in being quite fond of Hal!


And, Ella was really excited when she got to the party and found some of her other "favorite guys" were also there. Here's Ella with Robert and Kenny.



We all enjoyed the birthday cake and all the kids had fun. Here are Ella and cousin Bryce being a bit goofy with Grandma and Grandpa.
