Memorial Day

May 26-27 We had a good Memorial Day weekend.  It is so nice to have three days!  Sunday afternoon  Bill was able to get most of the cardboard out of our house!  WOOHOO!  I guess the neighbor across the street's sister in law was moving so they came to get the boxes. The guy asked Bill what he wanted for the boxes and he said "for you to take the paper too"!  It worked!  Yeah! We can see our garage floor now!  Then on Sunday afternoon we had an awesome picnic.  One of the families in the court hosted a neighborhood picnic to welcome us and the Sheehan family and to say good-bye to another family leaving in June.  It was SO much fun.  Addison and Landon met all kinds of new friends and Addi had a great time helping everyone with something.  Our immediate neighbors told us that the neighborhood is a little brighter once Addi and Landon arrived.  I think that is a compliment?  We have some amazing neighbors though.  People working in all different areas and SO smart but so very nice!

Our Memorial Day continued on Monday morning when we went to a park by our house to have our own little memorial ceremony for my Grandpa.  Bill,Addison and Landon weren't in MN with me so we decided to send some balloons to Great Grandpa in Heaven.  Addison and Landon really enjoyed that.  They were sure to kiss the balloons so that Great Grandpa got kisses too!  It was sad but it was nice to see that my kiddos had compassion for the situation and were very thoughtful.

 We watched the balloons for a really long time!  

 We did a little swinging at the park too before we headed to another BBQ with some old friends from Naples...Z and Leslie!  They have recruited Bill for their new group "The Pitches"!  It is an acappella group.
