Friday night our oldest daughter and her husband came in for the weekend. It's always fun having them home, but very tiring for them. During their short visit they try to squeeze in seeing all the family on both sides in a very short time; visiting grandparents, in-laws, and friends who are scattered from Anderson to Union and everywhere in between. We didn't get to spend much time together, but the time we did have together was wonderful.
Saturday morning my husband & I got up early and cooked breakfast. He was in charge of the eggs & grits and I was in charge of the bacon & toast. That afternoon I had to go take a test for my certification. After the test we went to some friends for dinner. They cooked stuffed shells which were great. Anna, their daughter & Anthony, our grandson always have a good time together and this was no exception. They made the most of being able to play by running, dancing, throwing balls, and cutting flips (It must be nice to be that age again). They played hard for almost 2 hours. On the way home you would think Anthony would go to sleep. But nooooo he chatted all the way home. He finally settled down when Grandpa put him to bed at 10:30 PM.
Our two sons returned home from their mission trips (one in Alabama and one is Louisiana). Both returned home Saturday night. The youngest son (picture to the left) worked with a team to repair roofs while o
thers from the church worked on other projects. They even hosted a Bible School for the kids in Louisiana.
Our oldest son is a youth minister at a local church. (picture to the right). He and his wife took a group to a camp in Mobile, Alabama called Centrifuge. All of them had wonderful experiences this past week. I'm very glad they are all home safe.
Sunday is always busy in our household. After church we had lunch with our oldest daughter and her roommate from college and her family. There were eleven of us (9 adults & 2 kids) who invaded City Range Grill. We had a good visit talking and visiting with each other. After lunch, our daughter and son-in-law left to go home (4-1/2 hour drive) and our youngest daughter & I went to visit my mom. We got back home just in time to go back to church for the mission trip presentations. Our youngest son plays base guitar and sings while leading the music for the youth group. The mission teams told what their week was like for them and how it changed their lives. As always it is very inspiring to hear about their trips.
Well, it's back to another week of everyday household stuff.
I hope you have a great week. Stay tuned for more in the lives of our family......
