The Latest Happening's 'Round Here...

It's been a very busy month here, adjusting and enjoying having the birdlings and Megan with us. I will miss them all very much when they leave at the end of the summer.

Yesterday we added two more little ones to the mix. Meg has a friend from Germany who lives very close to us, and she brought her two little girls over for Johnathon and Kaitlin to play with. We spent 4 hours at the near-by park, and then came home to bar-b-que'd hot dogs, fruit salad, and cheese puffs. *grinning* (love them cheese puffs!) We put on Sleeping Beauty, and all 4 fell asleep well before the end. It was one of those perfect moments. *smiling* Sweet smelling babies, pleasantly tired adults, snoring dogs...very nice indeed.

Tomorrow will be another park day, as the weather is finally spring like here. Amen for sunshine!!! (and 60 degree weather!) The girls and their Momma will be meeting us there with picnic food! Woot!

I am also looking forward to the summer this year. It will be warm enough then to take all the kids to the beach. Johnathon and Kaitlin have never seen the ocean, and Steven and I are pleased that their first visit will be with us. We are planning a camping trip with my sister and her family in July, so it will be much-o fun-o.

Steven is making pork sate tonight for supper. I am very glad. It happens to be one of my favorite foods. Love those Thai flavors!!

And that is all she wrote for now- TTFN!

It was only the low 50s here and windy, but sunny. I got in some quality time with my bicycle :-)

I'm glad you are having such a great time, Gina. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
*hugs*

Envious of your spring like weather! Okay and envious too of all of it! I'm counting down the days here until I see my grandchildren... 32 days!!

There is nothing like a full house with GOOD company - and an entire summer to plan around it.

Do you recommend a good beach out there for kidlings? We'd like to take the wee ones when they are out, too.

Beverly Beach is quite nice, as is Brookings and Florence. Depends on what you are looking for... We are camping at Beverly. They have yurts you can rent, with beds (a very important commodity! lol) and flush toilets and hot showers. *grinning* It is fairly close to the aquarium, too. Hope all is well with you... G
