Long Weekend

We stayed in town for Memorial Weekend and were able to find a nice balance of work and play. On the work front, we got all of our flowers planted and installed outdoor speakers in the backyard. Art has been talking about installing them since we moved into our house 4 years ago, so you can imagine his excitement once they were finally in. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time on the deck this summer listening to tunes.

On the play front, we managed to get in several walks and trips to the park with Claire. Art took Claire on a couple of bike rides as well. Due to the beautiful weather, we also managed to grill every day of the weekend...summer must be around the corner! Art's sister Katie and her family were in town from Chicago, so we spent time with his family both Saturday and Monday. Sunday afternoon Pete, Emily and Whitney came over for a BBQ. Claire loved having all the little ones around to play with!

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take our camera out until Monday. Here are a few pictures from our gathering with Art's family.
