Rainy Memorial Day

We are spending a low-key day inside for Memorial Day. We awoke at 7 am this morning to an intense thunderstorm, and then went back to bed. :)

The boys are playing Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 on the Wii, Mike is grocery shopping, Emily is showering (at 2:45 pm), and I'm blogging. Tonight we are going to grill pizzas.

Earlier this weekend Mike powerwashed the decks, the boys had a watergun fight, Emily and Avritt rode their bikes around, we hung around with people from our house church, Mike and I went to see "Robinhood," I got 5 loads of laundry done, and Mike made the best ribs on his Weber grill that I have ever had.

Isaac's Solo Piece

Isaac's First Piano Recital

Isaac played in his first piano recital this afternoon. He did a great job! He HATES to dress up, so we compromised and didn't make him tuck in his shirt and wear a belt. He looked dashing regardless!

Avritt's Party

The birthday boy (on the left) and his gang.

Avritt turned 12 this year!

Avritt didn't want Isaac to crash his party, but Isaac found a way to watch Space Balls anyway :) This is the view of Isaac laying outside the away room with the door cracked open, Avritt unaware...

Opening Presents Early in the Morning

Avritt was eager to open presents...he finally dragged us out of bed at 7:40 am. Thanks to all the friends and family who sent him gifts! He is excited about going shopping. He may buy some accessories for his new cell phone (he requested one with a keyboard for easy texting), which is what he got from us. He is growing up...

Trip to the Zoo
