Look what was in my backyard...

As we were loading up the car for Easter Week in Napa, 4 saw a pretty bird in the back yard. She called us all to see the orange and black and white bird. We love the birds in our yard...I was thrilled to see an oriole. I googled to see what type of oriole we saw...and I think it's a Bullock's Oriole. He's beautiful. I hope he returns to our yard.

We spent Easter Week in Napa with my mom and my Gramp. My Gram's sister (my GreatAunt) and her husband joined us for Easter Dinner and then stayed the night. We had wild games of Skip*Bo with 4 generations. We laughed a lot. We enjoyed family. 4 learned to ride a bike. The kids played with friends. We filled my Gramp's freezer with dinners for the next 8 weeks. We came home feeling blessed. I've got more things to add to my GIVEN post. Amazing isn't it.
