mimi and grandpa traversed the country to see us

Dear Mimi and Grandpa, 
Thank you for coming!  Thank you for our dates, gardening, celebrating Easter together, for playing and for the sweet treats.  We can't wait to see you in GA this summer.  Love you both!

Good work, Owen and Grandpa on planting the garden!

Katie, 
Mimi and Grandpa, helped you buy your first pet...a Beta fish named, Princess.  Needless to say, you were thrilled!
We definitely needed to decorate individual Easter bags for the big Easter Egg Hunt.
It was a joy to have family here for the holiday!
Kiddos, I'm sure your Daddy can as well, but I remember each Easter, Grandpa hiding lots and lots of eggs at Granma Gerrie's house.  The search was always thick as your aunts and uncles and 2nd cousins hunted! I think you will agree that Grandpa is one tricky Easter Egg hider!

I love this photo of Aunt Julie.  She's always ready for a good competition! 
Kubb anyone?  Add it to our list of Fun Yard Games! 
Owen, you and Uncle Tommy were pros at this game!




We only need to photo shop Daddy-who had to work (and the Herr's gang) into this photo!
This is a favorite pose of Grandpa's.  What's not to love...in a cozy chair with a good book.
And this one?  Mimi is at home...doing an artsy project with you two. Katie, Mimi found this baby doll crib and has been saving it just for you for a few months now.  LOVE.
Comics anyone?  Another sweet memory of Grandpa and you, kids.  
"Grandpa, ALWAYS reads the comics to us."

Mimi's at it again-teaching school...doing school with the ads.  Pretty good idea-I'm storing it away for 2nd grade!


Thanks for teaching school, Madame Mimi!  Your solar system unit was a highlight of our spring!
