Busy weekends

A couple weekends ago we went to St. Meinrad for two nights as guests of my dad (who was completing his term on the board). It was very warm, so we spent a lot of time outside just roaming the grounds. The only downside of the warm weather was that we had to keep the windows open at night, and the bell tower chimes every 15 minutes! AND, at 5 a.m. the bells ring for 15 minutes straight, for vespers! But, the kids had fun and loved the big abbey church and the bells.
Another big weekend... on May 2 my mom graduated from Martin University! Jacob and I went to the ceremony, along with my dad, brothers, and Aunt Charlene. Afterwards, we had a big party for mom. It was good for us to get to spend time with my brothers and their families, and we're all so proud of mom!
And, some cute pictures of Hannah... we've been giving her chances to try out silverware, and here is her attempt at yogurt. Not bad, I think!

Hannah, way to go using a spoon! Solomon is just trying this and he is not as delicate as you are. Yesterday he received a prompt bath after cottage cheese covered his face arms and hair. I even found some in his ear. It was so good to see all of you this past week. Happy Mothers Day! Meg
