This past weekend was mother’s day and we were lucky enough to have some wonderful weather.
On Saturday Dave put the finishing touches on the planter boxes he made for me. We’re having dirt delivered this weekend and then we’ll be set for a big planting session over Memorial day weekend. I cannot wait to have a garden, it’s been too long! While Dave finished the boxes, I ran Ajax up to the store to get some new tennis shoes and by the time we got home Grandpa Gordy and Nana were down to pick him up. Then they set off for Big Rapids where Grandma Mary was attending a horse show. Apparently Ajax didn’t make it to bed until midnight due to some heavy traffic on the way home and a way overtired nino. Noomi seemed unphased by the lack of her brother and enjoyed her evening home with Dave and I.
On Sunday we had breakfast and then loaded Noomi into the car and headed to Brooklyn. My aunt Liz and her two boys came out and we all helped plant flowers by the barn and around the house. It was a lovely day and topped off with a steak dinner. Ajax and Noomi had a blast playing in the dirt and running around the farm. They also enjoyed chasing the dogs and carrying around the new barn kitten who didn’t seem to mind their little hands. When we got on the road home, both kids passed out within 10 minutes flat.
