A Spring Break Visit With David, Kelsea, and Reid!

We had a wonderful week with David, Kelsea and Reid here for David's spring break!

John got home for the weekend too!  So all the boys were here!

 Reid did not show any shyness with any of us!  He was a very contented and happy child all week.  Here you can see that he was just fine with making himself  "at home"!

 We had a birthday party for David, Reid, and Sam VanSistine on Saturday night.  It was so amazing how excited Reid got to finally see someone his own size!!

Spaghetti supper! 

"Happy Birthday to you(s)"...

Both dads blowing out their single one-year-old candle

Sam enjoying his chocolate cake...

Reid deciding if he wants any more...

Supper came to a quick end after this!

Bob and Terri Colgrove were with us for the weekend, so it was double special!  Of course they got some great photos, and shared them with me! Here are just a few...

Loving the piano!

Tall and happy boy!

Clean and happy boy!

 I was so thankful that David, Kelsea and the others here pitched in with wedding work!  Together we finished 350 favors!!

  




















We went to Como Zoo.  It was a chilly day, and not a lot of animals were about, but we got to enjoy a few in the warm buildings!

It's good they had the sign on here.  I had all I could do to keep Dad down!

Then we went out for frozen yogurt at the new Yogurt Bar in downtown White Bear Lake.  Kelsea patiently waited in the car for hers while Reid slept.

 Some photos with Grandpa and Grandma...

 We had such a nice time with these guys!  Thank you David, Kelsea, and Reid for making the long and arduous trip!

Happy 30th Birthday, David!!

 God has blessed this past 30 years of our lives with you!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, REID!!

Of course, one of my all-time-favorites!!

Kelsea's birthday 2013, spent mostly at the hospital as I recall!

Little Reid was worth it all, right Dad and Mom?

So excited to have that little one arrive!

What a blessing and answer to prayer for both us Grandmothers!

The day of Reid's birth we all rejoiced!

We love you dearly, Reid!!   You have already added so very much joy to all of our lives!  We thank God for you!   Happy 1st Birthday, Reid!
