Our Girls: June 2011

Mother's day

We had a couple weeks in between visitors and Mother's day came during that time.

This Mother's day I was spoiled. I had a wonderful Breakfast, had a wonderful time at church, received some fun gifts ( a couple shirts, some lotion and hair ties, lots of fun necklaces, and Marcella even gave me $5 which I secretly gave back to her sweet thing.)

We had gotten some coupons in the mail for an ice cream cake at Dairy queen so I requested a cake. I however was pleasantly surprised at the message on top. I have the best family in the world!

Here is Deidra and I before we devoured the cake. It just wouldn't be a Sunday without them so we made them come have cake with us.

Lizzy was here

during another fun event, Easter!

On Saturday we had a little friend Easter egg hunt at the park by our house. It was fun watching the little ones trying to figure out what was going on.

We then headed home to color Easter eggs.

Here is the best Easter picture we got and yes, Claire was trying to kick Marcella in the head, we have proof! This Easter was super fun and we enjoyed having Lizzy with us. The girls each got a book and a bunny in their Easter basket along with some bubbles and a kite.

During Lizzy's stay

We officially welcomed Amelia Grace Hartwell into the Wallin clan. She joined us for her first Friday night game night and we were pleased to have Lizzy and Millie's Grandparents with her as well to celebrate! As you can see she is Very loved around here. Just mention Deidra's name and Claire will be saying "BaBY! BaBY!" over and over until we tell her she gets to see her or we distract her with something else. We sure Love you little one!

A week Later

Lizzy came and this just sums up how much fun we had. We had a very nice relaxing time hanging around the house as Jon was still finishing up school and was a little busy. The girls just adore her and had so much fun playing with her. Her famous contribute to our household was making humus. (Lizzy, Jon hasn't stopped making it since you came!) We sure love you and hope you come back soon!

Remember our visitors...

In April my mom came out and stayed with me while Jon was at a conference. We had so much fun. My Uncle Rod came up from Louisville to see us and we had a nice time going to dinner and seeing Purdue.

We really got a lot accomplished in just a week. We decided the girls needed a sand box, so we got the stuff and made one. Filling it up took more sand than we expected, but the girls really love it. We also sprayed and dug up the grass for our garden, and shopped til we dropped.
