Catch up

It seems like we've been playing catch up these past few weeks.  We've been so busy with church activities, family coming in town, Justin's work and mowing, among other random things that we frankly feel like we are just staying afloat.  All of these busy life activities have been fun and totally our choosing- well maybe besides work- but nonetheless they have been exhausting.  Last week we had Justin's parent's in town.  We actually flew Sue out here to be our babysitter for a couple days since our normal daycare lady was out of town.  Thanks to Sue and our dear friend, Nicci, Justin and I were able to keep our normal work schedules and not have to take time off- though I think that might have been a lot less stressful.  I love my days off.... We then had our youth group "Couch to the People" event last Saturday, which turned out to be a blast. (I've posted those entertaining pictures on FB if anyone is interested.) Then following the C2P event we had our church's annual barn dance.  It was also a lot of fun and Morganne  LOVED square dancing.  She even mentioned teaching some of the other kids at daycare how to square dance!  Pictures below....  This past week we had small group, I was fortunate enough to acompany a couple friends and drive to Colunbus, OH for dinner one night to surprise our dear friend, Lynsey, for her 30th birthday, and then our other monthly small group meeting on Friday.  Whew....  Today we just took it easy and did small fun things.  Nana called early this morning requesting a date with Morganne and picked her up and took her to see her first big screen movie- Yogi the Bear.  I heard she made it through intermission -about 30 mins. and then asked to go home.  That's better than screaming or hating the whole thing.  I think she liked it, her attention span just isn't there yet for movies.  Maybe in a few months.  Anyhow, off to take a snooze maybe while the girls are asleep???  Hope everyone has a great week!

I love this picture, unfortunately, when uploading to blogger some things become blurry.  I hope you can see the expression on Morganne's face when "peeking" around the other couple while square dancing.  Priceless...

How Kaelynn got involved in square dancing too....

Morganne and Grandma cheering for Daddy!  Not sure about Morganne's facial expression! :cP  I think she was trying to be silly when I took the picture...

Also, last week we had to say goodbye to some close friends of ours that moved back to New York to greet her husband who is returning home from a tour of duty in Afghanistan.  We took pizzas over and enjoyed a final lunch while Niki and the kids were finishing packing.  Sarah and her kids we able to join us too.  I truly wish schedules this past summer would have allowed more time to hang out with these two ladies. They are great fun.  And, check out all the cute kids between all of us!
