Mother's Day

Our tulips came in really pretty this year.  Now we just need to get landscape!  This little frog hung out on this leaf all day the other day.

The house that my grandpa (and great-grandparents) grew up in is going to be torn down soon in order to put up the new power plant in Holland.  We thought it'd be fun to get a picture by it before it gets torn down.  I really wish we had a picture of it from when my grandpa lived there.  No one seems to know where those old pictures would be.  It is my dad's dad that lived their with his parents.

I love Greta's face here.  I'm sure she was saying something like, "No picture!  Me no smile!!"

We gave the grandma's hand print garden stones this year for a gift and made one for our house too.

A few weeks before Mother's Day we walked through the house with my uncle, dad and cousin.  We were able to get permission to go through it.  All the houses in that area are empty and boarded up, ready to be torn down.
