Build That Wall

A busy week at the ranch. The week started off with a bang when we all had a visit from Donna (blog's most prolific commenter) and Stephen. The two detoured down to our neck of the woods while on vacation. Bubbie flew down the next day and Lily and Jack enjoyed some quality with their Great Aunt and Uncle and Great Grandmother. There was lots of craft time and art projects and fun new toys. Everyone had a great time during their visit.

On Friday, after our visitors left, the four of us went to the Zoo and tried to see some animals but it was really hot and the animals did not want to cooperate - except for the prarie dogs and clawed beavers. After that, we had a relatively animal free weekend until Sunday (Saturday was mostly errands and some other stuff I can't remember). Sunday was Lily's friend Brendan's 4th birthday party so Lily and Marcy were off to a local farm to party with the animals. A couple of pieces of pizza, some birthday cake and a pony ride later they were back at home to greet Aunt Donna who came back for another week of visits while Marcy is away for work. (Quite correctly, there is an overall lack of confidence in my ability to take care of two children at one time for a whole week).

On a sad front, we learned early this morning that Lily and Jack's Great Grandma Essie passed away. Essie, who had been ill for an extended time, will be dearly missed.

Here is a picture of Lily & Jack with Grandma Essie from February.
