Grandma Gurt's Visit Spring 2011

Hi. My mom, Marilyn, visited us this Spring. We had a wonderful time and we got to do so many fun things. I included a scrapbook with some pics. Her timing was perfect, she got to watch the End of the Year program at MDO where the kids (Ains and Finn) sang songs of praise to God and danced and had so much fun. Ainslie graduated from preschool also, so there are some pics of Grandma with us at that event. Grandma also got to watch as Maisie was baptized at our church. It was a truly tremendous day full of family, faith and the act of baptism. Mom also got to go with Finn and I to the Zoo Train and the Japanese Tea Gardens where we had a picnic lunch. We had a girls day out where Grandma, Maisie, Ainslie and I went downtown and took the Riverboat (Finn was with us for that, then he went to join Daddy at Daddy's school/work). We took Grandma walking along the Riverwalk, we enjoyed a delicious Tex Mex meal and then took in a play at the Magik Theatre, "Pinkalicious." You'll see one of the photos is of the girls' passed out in the van on the way home....we were all so tired after a wonderful day downtown. All in all, we enjoyed our busy visit and made many treasured memories. Oh, also, Mom baked about 12 dozen cookies with the girls one day while I was working. Those cookies were for Kairos Prison Ministry and we stretched them out to all sorts of other beloved friends because we had so many. Thanks for the memories Mom!! ~Deb

Backlog of photos, updates and news

Hello all. I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted any news or pics. I downloaded our camera today and there were over 600 photos dating back to March...hmmm, that's kinda sad!! Don't worry, I won't post all 600 but I will post several Smilebox's that you can browse at your leisure.

Today is the first day of summer, June 20th. Hard to believe,,since we are in the 100's here,,,HOT HOT HOT and we are in Stage 3 water restrictions. For all the Northerners that means you can only water your lawn every other week!! Crazy dry here.

I hope you are all enjoying your start to summer. We certainly are. My oldest daughter Maisie turns 7 on Wednesday and her Daddy turns 40 on the same day. Ainslie is 5 and starting Kinder this Fall and Finn is 3 1/2 and growing so fast. More on them later...... I am done with Preschool until August. Staying busy teaching finance classes across our city,,loving every minute of it and of course you can find me on church campus all weekend working there!! Craig is officially off for the summer as of last Friday and he is working side jobs, hanging with us and the kids and working on the never ending "Honey Do" list!!! We are richly blessed! Love to you all, Deb
