A full house and lots of .... tulips!

The tulips this year were gorgeous, here are some of my favorites.



We had the privilege of having a few house guests this past month.

Marae and Ben (her boyfriend) made us yummy springrolls, sushi, peanut butter playdough and introduced us to Kombucha.

Auralee was great with the kids and always asking to help. She was considering a job in NJ as a nanny but after a week with us she changed her mind :) I guess we scared her away from that idea. We are happy to have her as our new friend.

As most of you know, Elise doesn't sit still. She's always working and playing. The kids have to keep up with her.
We enjoyed all of our visitors and we miss them. Especially me! With 4 extra adults/helpers around ~ dinner was prepared faster, the kitchen cleaned, and the kids entertained. David also appreciated all the hours they put in at the office.

You are so sweet! We have all discussed what a great hostess you are, thanks for being so caring. I cannot believe you are never grumpy, especially being so pregnant. I have learned a lot from you.

In the picture of Ben & Marae & imagine that David was giving them some advice or asking them something a little awkward, he's got that look that he does.
