What's keeping us busy

Okay, so I have an excuse for not being on here much...we've been busy! (Like everyone else, right?!) Here's some of what's kept us going...
~a trip to Seattle to bring Care and Brody to the airport...saw lots of motorcycle cops going there and back but didn't get a ticket (like last time :P)
~a visit by 4 little O children while Leanne and Leah went to the dentist for several hours...

~Chelsie's been practicing her walking every day and is getting quite brave - so much fun to watch! She's very proud of herself after she crosses a good distance.

~a couple days of warm spring weather brought us outside and Chelsie's decided that out is MUCH more fun than in! Time to fence the backyard!

~birds have been coming steadily into the backyard, so the binos have been out and we've been watching - saw the first hummers this week! Sorry, no pictures here...

~a new swing set built by talented Daddy had to be tried out...now we need sand for the sand tire just beside the swings :) Thanks to Richard Bakker for helping set it up and Kayla for being the first to make sure it would hold people well!
~and last but not least, planning, shopping and packing for China...check out the groceries going along! Cereal takes up a lot of space! :) Thanks for reading!

Nice swing set!! Curious as to all the groceries-don't they carry these things in China in that supermart or are they way pricier there? so neat once they walk hey!

I heard about Chelsie's first real steps from her Auntie! Sounds like she was ready and is really moving.

The groceries are things you can't buy in China that they need/want very much :)

The grocery pile looks great! Hopefully we can eat that all before we go home :) The swingset looks great! Maybe Breyden can try it out this summer.

love the pics of Chelsie in the dirt, I foresee a lot more coffee chats in the backyard. :)
