So I definitely got behind on updating our blog. Here's some random happenings from about March to June.
Jeff's college roommate, Nate Tyler, came to visit for a while and we had a great time playing, reminiscing, and eating good food. He had some work business about an hour from here so he stuck around and worked out of our house for a week. We did a lot of eating out, a day trip to D.C. and some time at Rebecca's parents house, movie parties, grilling and campfire talks, and trips to the park. It was great to reconnect.
The Natural history museum and the White House.
Jane came with us to D.C. while Annabelle and Elsie stayed with my parents. Here we are waiting for the metro.
Nate made us a delicious dessert, a baked alaska.
After D.C. we took Nate to Annapolis for the weekend.
A walk around Virginia's capital building in Richmond.
Exploring Belle Island.
I think one of our favorite nights was just hanging around the campfire in our backyard while talking and eating goodies..
Nate was so nice to play with the girls.
It was freakishly cold the day of our ward Easter egg hunt. We still had fun and played with some animals.
March 25-April 12
I finally put the finishing touches on this mirror I have been making for Rebecca. It only took me about six years to finish.

While Jeff played with Annabelle and Elsie, Jane and I spent a few days in Utah for the funeral and hanging out with family. Jane enjoyed playing with some cousins. Elsie kept talking about Brody and Jackson and wanted to see them.

We went to the Byrd movie theater in downtown Richmond and saw "Cinderella". It is an original movie theater built in the 1920's and they even have an organist play at the beginning of the movie like back in the day.
Fun with Mike and Nina! Jeff's childhood friend and his fiance visited for the weekend.
Now that summer is here again we love going to the pool practically everyday.

Jeff was able to watch the girls most of the time I was in Utah for the funeral. We're thankful for great friends that made up for the time he had to work. They sure had fun playing with their friends.
