Memorial Day weekend

For a few years now, we've been making the trip up north to visit my family for Memorial Day weekend.  We all get together to celebrate my grandmother, who is turning 92 this week, and with no fewer than four other May birthdays, it has become one of our semiannual visits (besides the holidays).

We stopped in the Wisconsin Dells and Buffalo Phil's train table service was a big hit...

Having fun at great grandma's birthday party

Somehow our first Popsicles (watermelon and blueberries)

A trip to grandpa's farm...

Chickens!

Eggs!

Broken eggs...

Another highlight was my mom and my sister each just got new puppies...

Last Day of School

Happy Weekend!

Madeline turns 75

Hope you are having a delightful Spring! Easter and Mother's Day has just rolled into the Memorial Day weekend, so summer is finally upon us!  The kids are finishing up school and getting geared up for camp and pool season.

We are serious book (and Maddie) lovers over here, so I was so excited to hear that Madeline is turning 75. And of course there is a commemorative edition of the first book released to mark the occasion, along with the New York Historical Society displaying more than 90 original works by Ludwig Bemelmans from July-Oct..  Enjoy!
