Sorry so late.  Had to wash and hang two loads of laundry, go grocery shopping, play with children in beautiful 70 degree weather, took my lappy outside to blog, lappy overheated and shut down…

Lappy has a history of doing this, actually, and the box just came on Friday for us to send it back so HP can not fix it.

*WILL be positive*

*WILL have faith in HP the Lord that He can work miracles including but not limited to leading the kind people at HP to not only correctly diagnose, but also SOLVE problems with their hardware…*

Anyway.  So when we do send the lappy back, you most likely won’t hear from me for a couple weeks.  I mean, I’ll TRY to blog on the dinosaur of a desktop.  And I could always get out Josh’s lappy when he gets home.  But my best time for blogging is during the day.  So we’ll see what happens.

But I’m getting the distinct impression you didn’t come here to read that.  You came for pictures.  And as it’s getting dark and the laundry’s still on the line, I really should SHOW you some pictures so I can go take it down before a flashlight becomes a required accessory.

We went to a park at some point last week:

(Check out that studly jump suit. THANKS, GRANDMA!!)

I made a peasant skirt for Olivia, which she didn’t want me to take pictures of, so I had to be sneaky-sneaky:

I also acquired a little button-up for Benjamin that almost perfectly matches a button-up that Josh already had. AREN’T THEY JUST ADORABLE??

We went to Chicago to see Josh’s sister, Melissa (otherwise known as Sassa) graduate from COLLEGE.

WITH HONORS.

She told me this was the best graduation gift ever:

Which came in handy, since we’d yet to get her a real one.

Noah and Ashton, looking oh-so-cute:

Shannon, trying to look pregnant. And failing.

I win:

Waiting for our table at the Olive Garden (playing games on the children’s menu):

Victory dance:

Talkin’ with Gammy:

Great-grandpa and sleepy Mr. B:

Gammy and Great Grandma:

Finally! A table! No more waiting!

Oh. Right. Now we wait for food:

Which finally came, by the way, and thus ended the pictures.

What did you do this weekend?
