The Sassy Bun

 

Clover was in a rather spicey and sassy mood today and spent lots of time chasing Violet. Emma was able to scoop her up, to break the cycle and give Violet a break, but gosh is it hard to discipline that sweet face! xo 

"Up On The Rooftop...."

 

It's really so fascinating how much Clover and Violet love being up on the roof of their houses! xo

On Easter Eve

 

When you are married to the Director of Children's Ministry you get drafted for all sorts of projects. Like building a cross for the congrgation to flower on Easter Sunday! 

This one is about a foot taller than the one he made for Plymouth Church many years ago. We weren't keen on how short that one turned out so he went a bit bigger this time and it feels better to all of us! David did such an outstanding job! 

Grateful to Trader Joe's for the fllower haul! 

And much like husband's get drafted when their wives are the Director of Children's Ministry, daughters get drafted too when their mama is. So incredibly grateful to have such amazing helpers in Dave and the girls! 

While Grace prepared the flowers for the cross, Emma assembled Easter treat bags for all the children for tomorrow. 

The flowers are ready! So excited to bring this tradition to the congregation! I hope they love it as much as we do! 

I pulled out the girls Easter baskets to prepare them for the morning and we couldn't resist putting Violey in! She has been part of our family for one week and she is an absolute perfect addition and a toal sweetheart!

And, of course, we can't leave Miss Clover out! 

Wishing everyone celebrating a very happy Easter eve! xo 

Clover Explores The Snow

 

We were so excited to see that Mother Nature had gifted us with some wonderful snow today that the girls couldn't resist letting Clover explore it when they got home from the mountain today! She was sure at first, but once Grace made her a snowman (with two of her most favorite treats) she took a liking to it! xo 

A Treat For Clover

 

When you have a jack-o-lantern outside your house you must take a nibble! xo 

She Went To Paris....

by way of the groomers! xo 

An Impromtu Visit

 

In which Erin (not pictured), David and Mundo stop by for a visit and meet Clover. xo

"Talk to me Goose!" 

June Wrap Up

 Goodness, I am not sure that June could have flown by any faster if it wanted to! I am glad that I got to post a handful of times during the month

Sleepy  bun! 

The roses were absolutely gorgeous this year (and smelled as wonderful as they looked)! 

Recital was fabulous this year! So great to see our girls shine on stage again and to see this incredible (award winning!) production number three more times! 

And then, of course, there was this ruling, which just left us speechless and heartbroken. 

We were thrilled to get to see Rob, Jen and the kids on their way back from Maine! Oh, how we wish they lived closer so we could do this more often! 

We went strawberry picking on June 26th, which might be the latest we have ever picked. We didn't think we'd even get one quart out of the deal but were pleasantly surprised that we were able to pick two quarts worth! 

We closed out June with dinner at the Wild Hare. It was their first night of dinner service, and what a dinner it was! We are still dreaming about all the wonderful food we had there, especially the chicken! 

 Looking forward to seeing what July has in store for us! xo
