Matt woke me up on Mother's Day and asked if I wanted eggs for breakfast...and then I reminded him that we had used the last of the eggs the night before! So, we enjoyed some bowls of cereal! After going to church, we headed to Cedar Rapids to find a few new letterboxes and to pick up some Thomas the Train items from Craigslist. Let me be the first to tell you that it wasn't much of a fun day. The kids were all being onery and fussy. But God being the marvelous God that He is, gave us a good ending! We were able to find a letterbox in a beautiful park (FW Kent Park in Tiffin, IA) and play in a huge playground...followed by dinner, jammies & a movie! It was a blissful ride home and it seemed to lessen the reminders of the earlier tantrums we had dealt with.
Here are some pictures taken at FW Kent Park. We would love to head back there sometime this summer for a day at the beach, playing & camping.
Contrary to how it looks, Matt is spotting Will...not serenading him!
Will showing me a walnut.
On Saturday, we drove to Galesburg to visit the Carl Sandburg birthplace. It was recently re-opened thanks to Gov. Pat Quinn.
Will I ever get a good picture of all 4 kids - at the same time??
Will Seemed to have an abundance of energy this day...

Loved the pictures but especially loved the one of Matt and your comment about serenading! Too cute! Man, you guys get to some great parks!
Looks like Will's finger is without a bandage. Did everything turn out OK?
Thanks for asking Debbie. His finger is much better. Bandage was removed the last Tuesday of April and has healed really well! So far the nail has stayed on...most of it at least.
