Long, Backwards post

I just downloaded a bunch of pictures to this post and was going to pick my favorites once I saw them together, but now for some odd reason I cannot delete them so just like this run-on, bad grammar sentence (sorry Mom and Tara!), this post is going to be very long and I'm being lazy and not wanting to re-order the pictures so it is also going to be chronologically backwards.

The students have all gone home. Eugene has been very busy taking finals, cleaning, organizing, getting the dorm ready for summer and saying good-byes. Abby enjoyed the day when one of the guys let her play with a sombrero they found while cleaning out the rooms.
What happens when you overdo it with your child? She asks to play in her crib and covers herself up with a blanket and pretends to take a nap.
Pajama Bowl! Thank you to those of you who donated to the event. More than $90k was raised for local foster kids! Cyndi, Cora, Elyse, Lily, Abby and I had a blast bowling. However, when you have a 1, 3, 6 and 9 year-old on your team it takes a really long time and eventually they start turning off the lights on you to kindly hint that the event has been over for a while and you need to go home :)

Many local places had donated prizes. Cora won a sand art kit. Elyse and Lily both won DVD's and I won 6 passes to the Portland Children's Museum. Looks like we'll have another cousin trip this summer!
Lily and Abby got bored of the bowling after a while and started entertaining themselves by playing with the air blower and spinning on the floor.





Since Abby wasn't strong enough to bounce the ball from one bumper to the other like the cool, older cousins she took it upon herself to cheer from the sidelines.





After we returned from CA, Dad Edwards was waiting for us. We had a great visit and really enjoyed getting to spend some time together.



Abby and I headed to Portland to help Grandma Cook pack for her move to Courtyard Fountains.
Grandpa Terry stays just down the road at Gateway park. We met him there for some duck-feeding fun!




There. Now we I am (mostly) caught up on posting!
