*SURPRISE!!*

Thursday afternoon I was teaching away - when I got an e-mail from Andrea. She was announcing that I was going to have visitors...so with that - I finished up my teaching day & scrambled home for some serious house cleaning. As most of you know, our house is *usually* clean - but when I know people are coming...I must do more. So I did...& I was exhausted by the time I went to bed. Of course, I couldn't sleep because I was SOOO excited that My Andrea, My Ethan, & Matt :) were coming to visit me.

We played, played, played. I'm sad to say that they went home today - but we had a wonderful time. We are thinking about making this a bi-weekly weekend tradition. Want to play Andrea?! The only catch is, you come here. I think we should make Erin play too. Everyone come to me...that will work out best. :)

Yesterday afternoon we visited the tulip fields. In the rain. In the hail. In the drizzle. Did I mention the weather wasn't great!? After waiting in the car for a few minutes - we braved the elements in order to take a few pictures. Here are some of them...

Andrea playing in the tulips...

Andrea, we don't lick the tulips. Didn't your mom ever teach you that?!

Enjoying a yummy dessert & hot chocolate break from all of our shopping on Saturday... (Waitress took the picture a little bit fuzzy...) Ah well. :)

Andrea absolutely ecstatic that she got to go to THE fabric store. I was content to play along. Not nearly as excited as she apparently was from this picture!!

Thank you guys for coming to visit us - we had a blast (as always) with you. Come again anytime!!
