Welcome Warmth

I dare you to go outside right now and lay your body down into the grass. Try not to think about anything but how good the warmth feels against your skin. I am so thankful to have finally entered the open-all-the-windows-and-eat-out-on-the-deck season. I am also happy to see that the eggs have hatched in the nest outside my kitchen window. This is the third year we've had the privilege of welcoming a new family of finches. If you don't have an "Awwww..." response to this picture, then you're dead inside.

I am dying to reveal our new deck. It's just about done and hopefully you'll join us for a BBQ to celebrate when it is finally complete. I am so proud of my hard-working husband, and thankful to those that have helped us.


Welcome Summer. We've been waiting so impatiently for you!


Love,
Janet, Trenton, Emma, and Ben

Birthdays

I had the pleasure of sharing the celebration of my birthday with Laurie and Kaitlyn this year. I definitely felt the love from all my Denver and C/S family and friends. I gladly welcomed another year and had a blast doing it. Thanks guys!



I'm so glad I was born during the month of May. I'm kind of a creature of habit. Each year, on my actual birthday, I like to go to the mall with my Mom. After all...if it weren't for her, there wouldn't be anything to celebrate!
My Mom threw me and Kaitlyn a birthday party at her house with some of my very favorite foods and people. There is something so comforting about having a party in the home you grew up in.

Emma had her own little party with Hannah's markers.

Love,
Janet, Trenton, Emma, and Ben
