Happy Mother's Day

Wow, our 2nd Mother's Day! Hard to believe. We spent the morning with Grandpa and Grandma Voogt. They spent the night at our house last night and went to church with us today. Rebecca had helped Mommy make flower vases for both grandmas this year for Mother's Day. They both loved them! Then after lunch Rebecca and Justin gave Mary her presents. She got a small sauce pan, a small saute pan, a book and more cake pans!!!! A set of 5...6, 8, 10, 12 and 14"! Mary has been wanting another set of cake pans for a while so she doesn't have to bake multiple times to do a layer cake. Anyone need a cake? :) We are relaxing the rest of the day.



Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms in our lives! What a blessing to have a mom and to be a mom.

Mother's Day 2008...Rebecca sure has grown.

Visit from the Voogts

Yesterday Grandpa and Grandma Voogt came for a visit. Rebecca opened her birthday presents and had fun showing Grandpa and Grandma all the things she's been learning. She sang "e-i-e-i-o" and danced. Grandpa gave Rebecca more John Deere toys. Pretty soon she'll have a whole farm to play with :) She walked around with her new farmer for half the evening. Rebecca also got a doll, a music toy and some clothes. When it was time to go outside Rebecca had to tell them about her "hat," "coat," and "shoes." Rebecca thought it was pretty neat that Grandpa had a hat on too. We spent some time outside swinging, taking wagon rides, playing with the soccer ball and setting up Rebecca's new playhouse. We can't wait to play with that! We also can't wait to use her new picnic table. Maybe we'll have to grill and eat outside this week. Uncle Ryan and Aunt Shannon joined us for dinner. After dinner everyone (except Rebecca and Mary) went to Justin's alumni orchestra concert at Calvin. This was the final concert in the FAC before it undergoes a major renovation.

Today Grandpa and Grandma Voogt will go to church with us and then head back to WI. We'll be relaxing the rest of the day after a busy weekend. And of course celebrating Mother's Day :)
