I hope you will be able to blow it up, it's the top right one...
Saturday was a gorgeous day, actually the last few days have all been gorgeous, warm and sunny, all the snow is gone, I love it. We went to spend the afternoon at Fr. Sylvan's and I took my camera along, one never knows :) His grounds are so pretty and peaceful, I got some nice shots of the house and the pond, it was fun. The kids got to run around a bit after we visited, so they had a good time. Then we stopped and had some dinner at this hicks place (that's what Rachel called it), and had some really good food! It goes to show that you should never judge a book by it's cover, right? We also stopped to look at a couple of llamas, Gabrielle just finished a report on them and she was thrilled! Of course she kept warning us to keep an eye on their ears, that if they turned back we would be better off to remove ourselves, so we wouldn't get spat on :)
Here are some more pictures from the place
Then just when we were getting into the car, these hawks (?) started cruising above us and I had to rip my camera out again, change my lens to my telephoto and somehow get some halfway decent settings. It was still a little far away, but the closest I have ever gotten to one, so I was thrilled! I think my family thinks I am insane....
Not much went on last week, just the same daily running around with lessons and play practice for the kids every day. This week they are scheduled with their Iowa testing all day long, so they will be tired when they get home.
I have to call the dentist to take a look at my new crown, I can't chew on the darn thing... just another thing to take care of, it's really tiring to run all the time, from appointment to appointment and in between their are always forms to fill out for school or otherwise....I guess things could be worse :) Good thing I have my scrapbooking, that is such a release for me....which of course leads me to my latest pages...
Again, I am a week behind with my 365 pages, but I will tackle last week's soon. That Miracle page is from Fr. Sylvan's grounds, that little creek just meandered through the field and the gurgling sound was so peaceful (if you ignored the kids' squeals). It really is such a quiet and holy place, I love being there.
Well gang, that's it for today, it's been a whole week and nothing much to show for it. We must be leading such a boring life :) I am just glad the weather was nicer and the kids got to spend some time at the park with their friends. That is becoming such a hangout place for them. Better than the Mall...and closer too.
Have a good day everybody!
