the weekend

The weekend started with a lovely choir concert before we headed to the lake.

This was the usual Memorial Day weekend, people itching for great weather, wanting to swim!  And having to suffice with a normal, nice spring weekend.

Dani had a great weekend. She LOVED the kids and the other dogs. She was so exhausted every day. She'd just fall sound asleep anywhere.

These kids are all getting so big, and so grown up.  They are pretty patient with each other, and work out the details of their games and ideas without TOO much drama.  It's fun to see.   And even in the moments of frustration or anger, they're pretty clear about why, and what they want to be different.

It's kind of amazing to see a horde of scrappy, wild people turn civilized.

This weekend was made possible by patience and kindness.

I love you guys. You're spectacular.

Love, Mom aka GRANDMA
