St Louis

Appa and Poppa met us for a fantastic weekend in St Louis. We spent some time walking around downtown at the Arch and the old Courthouse. ( dad. could take another step away from the rest of the group? - super)

We loved going to the City Museum! It was an amazing and strange place full of tunnels and things to climb on and explore. My big girl wasn't feeling great and scowled for most of the photos.

This is the cave area. Cookie (yes she has a kitty face) loved climbing all over the rocks and tunnels. Freckles loved the 10 story tunnel slide.

more cave stuff.

The whole place is pretty much climbable. We climbed through turrets and onto planes and over peoples heads... very bizarre.

the family picture outside the museum. Check out Freckles' taped leg. Between her injured knee, a sore throat and just being an adolescent, she was a grouch for most of this day. ( bless her heart- we love her anyway).

Ang and me enjoying Ginger mojitos. yum.

Poppa and Appa with Cookie at the rehearsal dinner. Yummy Italian at Zia's on the Hill.

the wedding 4-10-10

The weather in St Louis was perfect. The bride was beautiful. The couple was happy. The champagne was flowing. The ceremony was romantic. The dinner was delicious. The laughter was contagious. The cake was tasty. The music was sentimental. The rooftop terrace reception was out of a movie. The memories were made. Best Wishes-- Angie and Andrew.

Easter 2010

We Love Stephanie. Thank you for the beautiful and delicious Easter baskets. You are the most creative person I know.

The Easter Bunny rang the doorbell this year and placed treats on the front porch on Satuday night. D was working days so it's a good thing he didn't have to miss Easter morning. That crazy bunny did hide eggs all over the house and brought treats that the girls loved. We headed to a fantastic service at Church and over to the Flaherty's house for Easter dinner and an Egg hunt. I missed seeing D and the rest of my family back home, but we celebrated the ressurection of Jesus and enjoyed the day.

Freckles is a pro at Egg hunts, but Cookie had some tears because she couldn't find any (despite the fact that we hid plenty in plain view.) maybe next year, she will do better at the hunt.
