In March we had a fun visit from my sister Susannah and her darling daughter Rebecca. Susannah came to help Mom with her broken leg for a couple of weeks which ended up being really nice for us because I was able to catch up on a few things while I let her take over Mom duties for a bit and we also got the benefit of getting to visit with them. Our kids absolutely adore "Baby Becca". And Rebecca seemed to really have fun with all of the attention that they lavished upon her the minute she came in the door.
Rebecca became a big fan of "Down By the Banks".
Love that cute smile! It was really a fun visit and went SO fast. Then a couple of weeks later we got to have my dad and brothers Timothy and David come for a few days. The kids were so excited to have their fun uncles come to play with them and as usual we had a project for Dad to work on. This time he made a doorway to Taylor's room. I wasn't even sure I wanted to do the project but now that it's done, it has made a huge difference. For those who haven't been here before (which is way to many of you by the way!), Taylor has the downstairs bedroom. As you walk into the doorway, the downstairs bath is on the right just before you enter Taylor's room. His room is quite small and so I was afraid adding an extra doorway would make it even worse. But he was really wanting it because we all use that bathroom so someone was always coming in to his room at all hours of the day. Now that it's done, we absolutely love it. I never have to worry that I'm going to walk in on him changing anymore and also it keeps the kids out of his stuff during the day.
We did find time for some fun and games as well, although Dad's not a huge game player so he usually opted out and watched a movie with the younger kids or took a nap. We got to play Mexican Train and of course Tripoly.
You can't see it here because of the sunshine but Kalen has an 8-9-10 and was about to clear the board and win the game by a landslide!We also made a trip to The Sweet Tooth for dinner and ice cream.
And an intense game of Chess:
Very fun visit! And here is the finished project:
Great job Dad! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Looks like it has been there the entire time! dad is so good at things like that!!!
I was going to say the same thing as Susannah. The new doorway is seamless...it doesn't look like an addition at all. That will make a huge difference for Taylor, and it's not like he lost usable space or anything. Awesome!
Aw, I miss your family.
