leaving on a jet plane...

Thats right we are off to Europe!  Can you tell I am excited (and a little nervous)?  We will try to post during the holiday but if we don't get a chance you can bet I will have pictures to post when we get back. 
Happy Monday.

Around Our House

No, we are not finished landscaping the backyard yet.  The cement is taking way longer than expected but hopefully it will be finished soon.  Now that we have our camera back I thought I would share some photos from around our house.

The moss basket I planted myself this spring at the greenhouse.

We have dug out where the cement is going to go.  Notice the stairs are off the deck.  The dirt to the left will be our garden bed.

The start of our perennial bed.  It even has a few plants.

Now we need to move this big gravel pile that is sitting on our driveway. 
Happy Wednesday.

We're Back

What a great trip.  I think Micheal and Katie were very surprised when we knocked on the door of the hotel room Thursday night.  It was wonderful to see them and spend time together as a family.  We did not take many photos but here are some highlights.

Murray and Michelle gambling in the airport as soon as we arrived.

Our dinner at the Stratosphere.

A view of 'The Strip' from the restaurant.
Thanks everyone for a great trip.

Updates...

The camera came back the very next day.  We thought it was a gonner but the camera came back.  All fixed up and new and ready to travel...yeah!

Kelly's Stagette last weekend was crazy...and so much fun!  Can't wait until the wedding!

Teacher's Gone Wild!

 

Tuesday was Murray's b-day.  We had a small get together to celebrate him.  No candle blowing would be complete without GB and R to sit on his knee.

Today is my official first day of summer holidays.  Yes, our school finishes earlier than most.  I am so excited for this summer mostly because Murray and I have a lot of trips planned. 

Can't take too long to write this blog.  I am off on a field trip with G and her Kindergarten class to the zoo.  Then, this evening, we are off to Vegas (a return trip) for the weekend.  We booked it last week so Jason could surprise Michelle for their tenth anniversary this month.  We will also surprise Micheal and Katie who are already there and do not know we are coming.  Should be a good time.  I will blog more when we get back.

Happy Thursday!
