Our weekend started with a little artwork.The kids are painting canvases to hang in the family room.
I'll show the final results once they are on the wall.
Emma loved being able to paint whatever colorshe wanted, wherever she wanted it.
Ryan had a design in mind.
On Saturday, we had a surprise visit from Uncle Rick.
He and Emma jammed on the keyboard and pink guitar.
It takes a manly-man to play one of these!
The kids tried out their new butterfly nets.

The kids tried out their new butterfly nets. It was such a gorgeous day...so nice to have the warm weather again.

Emma got to help Nana make the whipped cream forher delicious lemon cake with fresh strawberries....Yum!
Uncle Max hid the eggs and then sat the kids downto discuss the rules. I think the first one was...for every egg you pick up,
you have to give me two!
Emma's a bit spoiled...she convinced Ronto put her shoes on for her.
"This egg is empty! Uncle Max, did you eat it?"
He even hid an egg under Aunt Amanda's high heeled shoe!
Ryan didn't know it, but Max had been stealing eggs from his basket and

Bob came home from the office long enough
Those are some pretty big shoes to fill!
Bob came home from the office long enoughto have lunch and watch the kids hunt for their eggs.
Then, it was back to work!

I'm including one photo...but it's not the disgusting ones.
Promise!

After spending Wednesday through Monday in the hospital, he came to our house last night
After spending Wednesday through Monday in the hospital, he came to our house last nightand spent the night here. His lungs appear to be fine now, and he had his appointment for his
hand today. It is progressing as it should. It looks like we'll have
a happy ending to a bizarre and scary situation. The kids
were so happy to be able to play with him again, without any
tubes or machines hooked up to him.

We hope that everyone had a great weekend.
We are looking forward to some wonderful freinds from Portland arriving this
Thursday. It will be so nice to see them again...pics to follow.

On a side note, I had created a goal of walking 60 miles this month.
However, due to the many trips to the hospital, overnight house guests and lots of drop-in visitors this weekend, I haven't walked since Thursday. I'm decreasing my goal to 40 miles to avoid getting discouraged and not walking at all!

love how focus Emma was on the 1st pic, painting! :) Can't wait to see what's Ryan's design. Seeing the kids' photos, makes me miss 'em even more! Gosh, Ryan has grown SO MUCH!!
So glad to see Jon playing w/ the kids.. It was a bizarre and scary story! Glad it's got a happy ending! :)
Looks like a lovely weekend (minus the scary stuff, of course!) I love the egg under Amanda's heel.. Can't wait to see how the canvases turned out. Ember painted a masterpiece in watercolors on Saturday. I'm wishing I'd had her do it on something a little sturdier than plain old paper...
Good news on Jon. Sounds like you guys had a wonderful weekend. We sure did enjoy your nice weather while we were there for the weekend. But, we came home to snow. So, hope it warms up here soon. The girls are just BEGGING to go outside and play.
I'm so glad your brother is on the mend. I like your goal setting--gives me inspiration!
KT, Praise God that your brother is out of the hospital!!! Everyone looks so happy in the pictures and I love the red tulip photo!!! How many more long days does Bob have to do now that D-day has come??? Hopefully you and him can get some alone time for a couple of days, we still have the Oregon coast here. You could stop by and say hi :)
