Easter Weekend Recap


We have had a couple of great weekends the past few weeks starting with Grandma Dowers birthday at the Grange. Coming from a small family, it's great to be part of a large one who still finds it important to come together and celebrate. As a side note, are the kids starting to out number the adults now? It was a sea of 2 foot people...

I still think we should have Dowers family shirts printed with our individual "member" number starting with Grandpa as #1. That would make for some good conversation (not that we need any help.)



We also spent the last two weekends going to Rosalyn's soccer games which had been really neat to watch. Of course she is the tallest on her team and is easy to spot as she runs up and down the field. Terra and I are really proud of her teamwork and enthusiasm. We are planing on having Roz and Sam up for a few days, if not a week, this summer and head to Silverwood...anyone who would like to come along is welcome.

This weekend Kerri brought up Sam, Elliot, Marci, and a friend of the girls for Roz's games. We had a house full when you add the 4 of us into the group but with the downstairs everyone had a decent place to sleep and some room to spread out. We looked forward to them coming all week. It's not often that we get to have them come visit us. The weather wasn't as cooperative as last weekend...as you can see it pored down rain. With some good planning we had blankets and umbrellas...but what's spring soccer without some weather. They didn't win their two games this week (they won both last week) but they gave it their best.


It was also Elliot's 2nd birthday...and that dude is getting big...I think he weighs more than Grant does and he'll be 3 in June. He's a great little guy with a lot of personality but that is par for the course for Scott and Kerri's kids. It's hard to get them all up here at once but we always have a great time packing them in and enjoying their family dynamic.

I added some other pictures from this weekend...we hope everyone had a nice Easter. We sure did.
