Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

We have had a great weekend. You got to love 3 day weekends! Saturday we traveled to Vandalia for a family reunion with Jeremy's Grandma Darnell's family, the Herzog side of the family. It was great seeing everyone and meeting people I had never met before. We were tired from traveling so we just came home and relaxed that night. Jeremy was able to get some yard work done this weekend. When your house is on the market, it takes a lot of work to keep it clean and the yard looking nice. We had a nice time on Sunday at a cookout at our friends Mark & Carrie Lockhart's house in St. Joe. I love cookouts when the weather is so nice and it is a long weekend and you don't have to worry about going to work the next day. The guys busted out a game of wiffle ball while the girls sat around and chatted. It was pretty funny because they split the teams up between Cubs fans and Cardinals fans. I think the older guys were the Cardinals and they ended up winning! Today, Jeremy got to golf with buddies, while I relaxed at home with my dogs. I have a cold right now and am feeling a little under the weather. I am hoping it does not last too long. Our soon to be neighbors in Gibson City sent me some pictures on facebook letting us know that they were working diligently on our house Friday and got the basement floor poured. So that is exciting. We get to take the day off on Wednesday and head to Bloomington to pick out all of our stuff for the new house. We are looking forward to that. Here is a review of our weekend in pictures.
The first pic is Jeremy playing wiffle ball at the Lockhart's.

Our friends Mike and Erin got a new dog. His name is Dexter and he is a poodle and he is the cutest, most calm dog. He just layed around at the cookout.

Jeremy did some fishing this weekend in the pond and of course his helpers had to be there. The Dogs had a great time this weekend swimming in the pond and playing ball too.

On our way back from Vandalia we stopped in Tuscola to look at some furniture for our new house. Well Lucie's hometown is Tuscola so we decided to stop and see her brother. Long story short, the nephew of Jeremy's Aunt Jeanine got Lucie's brother and this is a picture of him. He has the same mannerisms of Lu Lu. He jumps really high just like her and likes to lick the older dog in the face just like her. His name is Scanner.

And the newest addition at the Darnell household are some baby birdies. For the second year in a row, a bird has made a nest in my wreath on the front door. Well they are now starting to get out of the nest and make their way into the world.
