A Nice Weekend

We had beautiful weather this past weekend and Andy had Monday off, so it was great. We started off the weekend a little lazy. Her are the little ones watching TV together. Audrey was quite engrossed with Teletubbies at the moment, but Rachel turned to me and smiled. I don't know if I have ever said this before, but I can't stand Teletubbies. Unfortunately it is one of the few English (if you can call Teletubbie language English, but maybe the Dutch aren't able to understand them so they can't translate it) programs for little ones, so every once in awhile we have the privilege of enjoying Teletubbies. Andy was sleeping in a little bit and the girls were happy to sit next to each other and watch TV.

We then put ourselves together and went to buy some flowers. That afternoon the girls spent time with Daddy planting the flowers while I got some much needed Primary stuff done. Rachel loved helping out and Audrey enjoyed supervising! :)

On Sunday evening we were able to get together with some friends and have dinner. A friend, who has since moved back to the States, was out on business. So, a bunch of us got together and had a great time - good company and excellent food! The only thing that would have made it perfect was if Rob had brought Amy along. Hopefully next time! :)

Monday morning I had to snap another picture of the girls in their cute matching pajamas - thanks Grandma Smith! It was finally warm enough for the girls to wear them. This is the best picture I got, even though Audrey was obviously kicking away! :)

And then we were off to the beach. We have learned to take advantage of good beach weather days, because they don't come around too often. It was Audrey's first time at the beach and she did pretty well. She did really well once she took a little snooze! :) Rachel of course had fun playing in the sand with her daddy. Andy was even able to talk her into putting her feet in the freezing cold ocean. She did it once and only once. I didn't even go near the frigid water! The beach was pretty busy, but we enjoyed quite a few hours in the sun.

June 1st was Andy's last holiday until Christmas, so we tried to make the most of it. It's always nice to have a relaxing weekend with beautiful weather.
