Memorial Day

So at one point during our Memorial Day festivities I thought that I should take some photos, but then I didn't. So no pictures.
This year Memorial day fell on Aunt Cammi's birthday. As luck would have it, Cammi was actually in town this year for her birthday weekend, when usually she isn't. So we decided to have a little cook out at our new house. Seth and Heather had not seen it yet, so it was fun to have them up to see it. We just had normal cook out food, and a good time hanging out. We set up the slip and slide for the kids, and they loved that. Olivia even eventually got into things. She is very ready to keep up with the boys this year.
We actually started out the day on the canal with Grandad. It's nice to have Grandad come up sometimes, and we run/walk/ride in the stroller/bike/scooter, just whatever you want to do. With 3 adults it's enough to have someone take care of the kids at all times, and when I get more in shape and spend more time running than walking (read, once I no longer have the allergies/cold that never ever ever goes away!) then it will be nice to have Grandad there so that both Jesse and I can get our runs in at the same time. We also got to see Cammi start her birthday kayak run with a few friends, and the kids played at the boat ramp into the river for a little while too.
So it was a fun little day for us. This week is a super busy week for me with teaching preschool, and then Nate having a birthday on Saturday. Saturday- that is 2 days away. I have not bought a single present. Not one. I'm in a bit of denial about the whole thing I guess. Lots of work for the party still left to do too. Oh well, it'll come whether I'm ready or not, and it'll probably turn out just fine either way too!
