We are back! Actually, we were back last night, but with unpacking, etc, I didn't get to this.  We had a lovely weekend, lots of baby hugging and watching kids play.  We were in Bismark Friday afternoon, and went to the Texas Roadhouse for supper with Cori, Josh and the kiddoes.  We hadn't been to one of those for a while, and totally overate.  That was kind of the theme for the whole weekend, actually!

We introduced Josh to the game of Farkle, he didn't seem to mind.  I think he even won a game on the last night.  :)

Wendy and the gang came on Saturday afternoon.  Isaiah had been not so patiently waiting for them, he loves to play with his uncles.  

Sunday was the party for that one year old birthday girl!  She didn't seem too impressed, but was happy the whole time.  Tim had made her a ladybug cake and at first she didn't want any part of it, but when she realized it was sugar, then it was okay!

That was just the destroy cake.  We all shared the actual cake, nummy!

She enjoyed opening her gifts, but was a bit puzzled by the whole process, I think!

She had some help with it from the impatient boys.  Lots of spoiling by the grandparents, etc.  She's so good natured, it's a joy to watch her.  

We spent some time in their backyard, it's huge!  Josh has a marten house up, but the martens haven't come back yet this year.
The kids had a dogpile, with the dog helping out.

The next morning we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, another overeating theme!  And Wendy and Tim headed west and south from there, and we headed east and south.  And lovely time, and over too soon.  

And that's about it for now.  I may add more pictures this week.  Tomorrow I have bible study in the morning.  Today I went to town for the mail and to the library.  They have the streets totally torn up in Canby, so I park on main street and walk over to the library.  

We should be having more sunshine the rest of the week.  We had about 3/4" of rain while we were gone.  And the birds emptied the feeders!  

Hugs, Orrin, Linda and Teddy
