Well folks May is nearly over and I thought I'd let you know what we did in April. These pictures are in reverse order, but you'll get the general idea.
Near the end of April I (Rachel) went to Holland!
What would a trip to Holland be with out some of the following country features?
Windmills anyone? This is looking up one of the canals at Kinderdijk. It happened to be very windy this day and we witnessed up close how fast the blades on a windmill can turn.
We got to visit with some of our favorite people who also happen to be relatives.
How about these lovely ladies? It was fun to be with cousins, even the famous one.
How cute is my Sissy?
There can never be enough tulips. We drove by many fields that were ablaze with color and then the next day they were gone. That's how they roll at the end up the tulip season.
My grandmother's family home in Breukelen.
Its been for sale if you have a few million laying around.
All of us together for dinner.
Can you seriously get over the tulips?
I brought home some crowns for the girls so that we could celebrate Queen's Day on April 30th. Happy birthday Queen Beatrix!
This was the last play group at our house, just before Easter. We had an egg hunt in our backyard while wearing dress-ups. What a fun time we've had with these girls.
I made some cowboy quilts. I did a trade with a photographer back in February and over the two or so months it took me to complete these it was really hard to pack them up and mail them off. Luckily they love them as much as I do.
We assembled a shed, and the garden that we planted at the end of March began to grow. It looks a lot different now that it resembles a jungle. Maybe I'll post an update in my May post.

I celebrated my birthday. Each candle on the cake represents four years of my life. Happy birthday to me!

We have a famous cousin?
I love the Dutch photos. Aren't our Dutch relatives the kindest, wonderful people? And isn't Breukelen heaven on earth?
Yes to all of that. This is just the smallest sampling of pictures. Jill has the best ones I think. But she had a super fancy good camera. We'll have to have a party to share with you and eveyone else who would like to see the fun pictures and hear the stories. Love those Dutchies.
