April happenings

Last Saturday we spent the afternoon and evening in Pella celebrating Elly's first communion with the Cairney and Wageman family. We all had a great time, thanks again Greg and Dawn for the yummy eats! What a blessed day for Miss Elly, even if I didn't get there in time to see her in her dress - BUMMER!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday a little late last week...Doug's special day was on the 15th of this month, but I had to work late that night. SO, the annual coconut creme pie did not get made until last week. AND, if I can say so myself, this was possibly the best one yet. The filling was perfect!! Unfortunately for Daddy, Kate is starting to like this dessert now too, so he has another person to share his special treat with. Ben still gives it a thumbs down! The kids were very excited to give him a new John Ortberg book and surprise him with tickets to the U2 concert in Chicago in September - what fun that will be!!!
