An overdue update...

We spent this past weekend up at the lake and I had every intention of updating the blog on Sunday when we got back in town but I never got around to it. It was on my "to do" list for yesterday, but clearly, that never happened either. But, I am doing it now!

We had a great few days at the lake house! The best part, in my opinion, was that everyone slept! Three kids 3 and under, and all slept through the night and successfully took naps-YAHOO!!! And with all this success, Graham even slept in toddler bed for the first time. Thankfully, his transition was seamless! We couldn't have asked for better weather for our "working weekend". We raked, and raked, and raked and raked, took a break, and raked and raked some more. Yes, there really are that many leaves up there. We're now able to see the grass and the lawn is ready for summer! The boys worked to get the dock back in the water (still a work in progress) and now we're just waiting for the boat to come out of storage. We're officially ready for summer!

Thirsty kids on the way to the lake

Vanilla milkshakes from the "cheese store" on the way to the lake-we're willing to do just about anything to keep them happy and entertained on the long drive!

Miles LOVED to climb into Graham's bed. Graham wasn't so sure...we spent a long time telling Graham it was a "big boy bed" and he refers to his cousin as "Baby Miles". So, in Graham's mind, Baby Miles shouldn't be in a big boy bed!


Ready, set, GO!

Happy after breakfast at our favorite little restaurant

Amelia helped with the raking

Graham helped with the raking too!

i did not realize how grown up my babies look until i saw them with the rakes. at the risk of sounding old, i can't believe how fast time goes by with children.

We miss the fun of the weekend event but not the weekend work. Raking leaves is much more fun when one is two or three years old!
