Memorial Day Parade

We spent Memorial Day weekend with Mimi and Papa. It was so nice to see them and they are such a big help when they come to visit. Jack loves to play with his Mimi and she keeps him occupied for hours! And Papa can fix or build anything! Papa and John went to work and did some major projects around the house. We are trying to get ready for the arrival of the babies and this requires anything that will give us more space and organization. Papa and John built new shelves in the garage to store all our toys, bikes, garden equipment and strollers and anything else we have laying in the garage. Mimi planted some new flowers outside that look so nice. Papa and John organized our closets. Now each closet has two hanging bars so we doubled our closet space. This was necessary so we could empty a closet for the babies. We also purchased a second refrigerator (much needed considering we are going to be a family of six) that the two boys were able to carry down to the basement. We finally got a fan in our room which I am hoping helps me sleep better! Finally, we bought a toy storage shelf for the playroom that turned out so nice. I have so much more room for toys now, I was able to get out all of the baby toys I had packed away in the basement. These have now become Jack's favorite toys to play with--go figure. We are thankful to have them come visit and help as always.

On Monday, we went to Western Springs Memorial Day Parade with some friends. Jack and his friends loved to see the fire trucks, military and flags and especially the baseball teams handing out suckers!
