Happy ___ Day!


Mothers' Day Weekend began with Jake celebrating the "Big 1-0" with friends. (It is his year to go first, so Emily will be celebrating next week.) He opted for bowling, followed by a magic show at a local brewpub, the Raccoon Lodge.

As for Mothers Day, Emily and Dad were up very early preparing a lovely breakfast in bed, and the boys (who slept through the breakfast prep) helped me plant our new vegetable garden.


Jake has selected watermelon, rhubarb, and pumpkin as his crops of choice. For him, it's all about pie! Drew is taking on lettuce, onions and strawberries; and Emily tomatoes, cucumbers and more tomatoes. We're hoping their enthusiasm continues when it's time to weed!


Here are some photos from the past week. We've had lots of rain, but the sun breaks have been fabulous! Emily and friends even managed to squeeze in a lemonaide stand. The countdown is on - in 30 days, school will be out for the summer.
