Thanks Mom & Dad

We've been lucky to have both our parents visit this spring. Mark and Cheryl stopped in for a few days of hanging out before they made their way to Florida. We enjoyed some delicious dinners out and cut-throat game nights! Chalk up points to Team Mark & Leisa!

Then my parents came down for a week- doing anything to escape the Illini chill. It may not sound like much of a vacation- but they wanted a few projects to work on! Well, we were blown away by what they accomplished!

Project 1
FIRE PIT

Project 2
CLEARING OUT OUR MARSH VIEW

BEFORE

Now we can see through the tree line, out to the marsh. We've seen ducks, a blue heron, and look what Luke found in the yard!

Visitors!

I am pleased to say that I am sitting on my back porch swing, listening to the birds, and writing this post.



A few weeks ago, Daniel and Diane came to visit us from Tucson! YEA! We love company! We had a fairly low key weekend- shopping in Atlanta, playing cards, and doing a few projects around the house. Actually, their trip could not have been more perfectly timed... since I managed to drop my computer the night before they came... and Daniel is my mac doctor! What a life saver:)


The boys got the grill put together... now that we finally live somewhere that allows it! We were also happy to be a much needed pit-stop for Jill, Jon, and company! I didn't manage to get a picture- but Jon, Joel, and Jacob did manage to check out the marsh... and the fire ants. Unfortunately- no bobcat sightings to report!
