While the cat is away, the mice will play!

So what were the kids doing while we were away...

First, we had made a cake for my dad before we left so that the kids could help him celebrate his 60th birthday! Whoa! The Big 60, how 'bout that!!!







I used to think that was really old. But, you can't do this if you're really old! :)



After a day spent at the lake, cousin Ellie came for a week.





And they played and played and played.







Kyler and Kavan were still playing baseball.



Kavan finished up his season. And my mom emailed us in Europe with details of Kavan's awesome double play. We hated to miss that, but loved hearing the excitement of it through email and telephone calls.



My dad took the kids to see movies, took them fishing, and got Kyler hooked on golfing! My mom taught the kids how to crosstitch and did some sewing with them! And in between all that, they took care of all the household duties and they left my house better organized than it was! They are so wonderful! We love them so much!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you did!






And the hen, she mothered her babies.







Hey, Dad! Nice tie!!! :)
