April-May-June
With all the remodeling going on, there was still time for the usual spring activities.
Fishing with Josiah
When I was a girl, my Grandpa used to take me fishing. We always stopped for a Mountain Dew and a chick o'stick on the way home. I decided Josiah needed to try that too.
Volleyball tournament for Arianna
Spring concerts for Lina, Gabe and Daniel. (I had to miss the boys in California, but so glad we have photos)
For Mother's Day, we went to Salem and saw John and Rachel and Josh and Alexis. While there we went for a little walk at Ankeny Park. The eagles were there and a few other birds and some spring flowers.
Jessi and Lina and I went to a local peony garden with my Mom.
I could fill two blogs with photos of the gorgeous spring flowers in my own yard this year.
The garden did great with the produce this year too, starting out with the strawberries and cherries.
Josiah had his graduation from 8th grade. It is on to public high school for him next year. He will go to the same high school his Mom and Uncles went to.
And then came Father's Day.
90 years old and still getting more tools. An updated little battery-operated chain saw. He loves it for the lilac hedge.
I had a last minute trip to California to stay with Gabe and Daniel while Dennis and Abby went to Amsterdam to celebrate their anniversary. Abby's Dad was sick and so they could not stay with them as planned. It was a fun few days with the boys, but so sad that just a day after they arrived in Amsterdam, I had to make the call to them that Abby's Dad had gotten worse. They hopped a plane as soon as they could. A week later, her Father passed away.
