The Cardinal

So, to demonstrate the greatness of our cardinal, we have been documenting his little adventures over the last week. These are not all from the same day...which makes it even more priceless. HILARIOUS. Even as I speak he is flying into the window, I can hear him from the front of the house in the office.
Brad declared yesterday that he is becoming obnoxious...but I can't help it, I just love it. Hahahahaha. Grandma, thank you for the tip..I will try that, I've been lazy this week and haven't had the chance.













Hope you enjoyed. As for us, life is great. I have 2 weeks FREE FROM WORK starting today..can't even pretend to not be excited, sorry Heart Hospital. I love my job, but sometimes you just need a couple of days away from it.

Brad is still at work, once he calls I will meet him at the apartment and we shall bid farewell and HASTA to our first "home." However, this house feels like our HOME. We just love it.

We had our first official guests this weekend, Shauna and Aaron came over for lunch on Sunday and to watch some house...all of which took place while lounging on our new couch! Yay! Show more pictures when it's not so brown in there. We need some color.

I didn't mention this a couple weeks ago, but Brad and I were able to go to dinner with the Ahlgrim family down here in Austin. A little touch of home! The Ahlgrim's were the youth leaders back at Kossuth many years ago, and Allison is in Austin for the summer. It ws really fun to catch up with them, and it's always neat to talk to someone from Lafyette!

As for other news, not much to share. We're excited because as a small group we're trying to get more involved at the Stone. We're hopefully going to be working in the nursery once a month as a group, and then some outside service opportunites also. So pumped!! The Lord is amazing, we are just daily shown His blessings and grace.

As for plans... HUUUUGGGEEEE couple of weeks.
May 31st...Much anticipated Griswold/Michner Celebration. Brad's been practicing his dancing moves. Better watch out, he's silent thunder.
June 1st: Rachael to Indiana just in time for Lauri's graduation party! WHOA!
June 2-6th: Family/Preppin' time for the Southern/Standeford Extravaganza. 2years and counting..they're READY! Got some big plans...so excited to be there to celebrate and see all the home loves!

June 7th: Rox and Jake and the wedding bells! Yay for our pink dresses! THANK YOU EL SO MUCH FOR TELLING DAWN. I forgot..it's a good thing you rock.

Yay. Hope you all have a fantastic week! If we're MIA you know why. Say hello to a cardnial near you. Indiana we'll see you soon!

Rach - after looking at the pictures again in motion, I think the previous owners must have had a tube feeder where he keeps aiming. You can buy them numerous places for 8.99 - 9.99. There may even be a hook left where they had theirs hanging. Good Luck. LOVE
