Our little getaway....

It was with great pleasure that Mike took me with him to work last weekend. After great pains, I decided I could finally leave my three kids (in good hand with Kevin & Jody), and go on a three day trip to St. Maarten and New York City. 

If you look close, you can see my pilot :)

Memorial Day and Weekend

We had a nice sunny Memorial Day weekend last week, complete with the annual Newfields Town Parade! The kids were excited to ride their bikes in the parade, and Kate was happy to collect any candy thrown her way.  On Monday we had some friends over for supper and a campfire.
