Our week with the Van Guilders

The whole Van Guilder family, together! (and proof that--contrary to popular opinion--Grandma Ruthie CAN take a photo without cutting anyone's head off!)







The three cousins - Silas, Jack, and Eli




Mother and daughter



The boys with Great-Grandma Ruthie




Eli's depiction of a view from the planet Venus.





Silas liked Grandma's Mr. Sketch scented markers...a little too much!




Making blueberry muffins with Grandma



Getting some much-needed rest





Let's go sledding!





Silas wanted Grandpa to take him into the woods behind my parents' house. He really loved being back there, and every time my dad turned around to head toward the house, Silas would yell and point the other way, "No, woods!" Guess we named him accurately, since the name Silas means, "man of the forest."




Saying goodbye...we love you, Grandpa and Grandma!

Loved seeing more pics from your trip here. Loved seeing pics of your mom and dad. Miss them!

BTW, is it July, yet? We've gotten like 10,000 inches of snow in the last few weeks and I'm DONE with it. I'm ready for summer!!

Love ya!
