Rabbits, Family and Other Fun

We had a wonderful, busy weekend off. We enjoyed getting together with family from all over North America. It was nice to relax and visit for a couple of days.
Next week is probably one of my busiest (4 groups, 2 of them need beds make up ( I still have to alter about 10 comforters to actually fit twin duvet covers) plus we have VBS at our church every morning (I'm in charge of crafts) plus Katie starts swimming lessons every Mon/Wed/Fri in July. But I am looking forward to a girls game night on the Saturday to celebrate getting through the week;) Anyway, you probably won't read much for the next couple of weeks or so and then get bombarded with yet another mile long post. So sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy this one.
RABBITS - Part 1
Monday morning we got our first litter of rabbits. Blackie had 8 babies (3 pink and 5 black). Often first litters don't make it, but so far we've only lost 1 kit.

Not sure if they are cute or ugly at this stage.


GIRLS

Katie has been watching Daddy fix the lawnmower. She told me that she was fixing the battery of the exersaucer bug. (There are not batteries, for those who are wondering)

Maya playing her piano, sporting her typical bedhead.

Eating much?? She's getting better, but anything with tomatoe sauce still seems to get her.

Katie and Maya are helping Jeff's Florida cousin Becky prepare yummy wraps for our family gathering. We so enjoyed having Jeff's aunt and cousins stay with us for a couple of days. It was nice for me to get to know them a little better and hope that maybe we can visit them in Florida sometime too.
At the family gathering we took the opportunity to finally get an updated family shot again. The girls are growing and changing so fast.

And from the other side of the continent, Jeff's sister and her two boys came up to visit. Katie latched on to cousin Alex right away. They played so nicely together.

Checking out the fishies in Grandpa's pond. Katie of course is pushing the limits by dangling her feet. She wanted the goldfish to suck on her toes. It works better though if you keep your feet still rather than trying to force feed them to the fish;)

Chocolate pudding for dessert, what more can I say???

Maya's signature "silly face". This picture has all the makings of showing up in a slide show at her wedding, don't you think?

Time to say goodbye... or gang tackling grandpa.

Portrait of the cousins. The only pose we got with all 4 "cooperating".

RABBIT- Part 2

It doesn't look all that appetizing on the picture, but it was very yummy! Our first homegrown rabbit dinner.

Maya liked it...


Hope you are all doing well and not overly disturbed by this post.

Blessings, Ursi
