This past weekend was a fantastic weekend for us! We all had a four-day weekend together, and
it was so nice to spend some time as a family with all the craziness of work
lately. I had a chance to visit my parents after a conference on Thursday (and get a home-cooked meal!). My Dad is still on the mend after back surgery, but looking better every day! This weekend I got all our flowers planted,
we removed all the boards from our deck (still a couple weeks until we replace
them), fixed our little decorative fence and a few other small touches around
the house. I love getting things done!

Royal Oak has been testing out a Friday event where they
close down a part of Main Street to traffic and allow families to hang
out. This weekend they had a
rock-climbing wall, street musicians, and some fun games for kids. We met up with one of Maggie’s best friends
from school and had fun watching them roam around freely. Maggie had a pretty hard time with the rock
wall, so Daddy helped her get up; I swear, she and her friend
only did it so they could fly down afterward!
We had a really great time, hoping to do it a lot this summer!

The girls went over to Grandma and Grandpa’s a couple times
this weekend, which really helped us get some things done. They enjoyed the Memorial Day parade in St.
Clair Shores, and we all had a yummy barbecue dinner afterward.

I love having two little girls. They do bicker a lot, but they also play and
entertain each other quite a bit! I was
amazed how little they needed our attention while we worked on the deck.

Evie has entered a hitting stage the past few weeks. She only seems to do it to me, Jamie and
Grandma whenever she’s frustrated or angry.
Really hoping this passes soon…
