busy weekend

On Friday we started our busy weekend by going to the boat and RV show. We saw lots of pop-ups that we would love to have - but ours will have to last longer before we can do that. There are some things we like in the new ones - but some things we actually like better about ours. The highlight of the trip was watching a dock dogs competition. That is when dogs jump into a swimming pool after a toy - and they see how far they can jump. It was amazing to see dogs jump over 25 feet into water, as well as jump over 7 feet up into the air. Wow! We wondered how well Boo would do at it as he likes to jump up and down. After that we ran to Graters to get some ice cream - the kids wanted to get their free scoops for good grades - so we just had to pay for mine. Then it was home and to bed.

On Saturday we had a lazy morning. Did not do much - athough there is lots of picking up around the house that should have happened. The boys left around 10:00 to sign Michael up for baseball and to get haircuts. Emily and I went to our mom/daughter Christ care meeting at 2:00 and then we stayed at Church to take down the Christmas tree that the youth had put up. It did not take long as we had Emily, Michael & a friend taking down the ornaments. It is a good feeling to have that down. After the tree there was a fellowship event at Church - a gospel choir sang, there was a chili cook-off, and then the kids watched UP while the adults visited in the back. Was a fun evening for all.

Today we are off to Church and Sunday School in a little bit. There is only one service today, as there is a congegational meeting & pot-luck after service. Then we are coming home to do a little bit of picking up before the boys sit down to watch the Colts game at 3:00. I will likely work on school stuff at that time - since I am not a big football fan. I want the Colts to win - because that would make Michael happy, but I don't have the interest to watch the game.

Hope you weekend is/was good and productive too. We had lots of family togetherness in ours, as well as Church events. Growing two different families - which are actually one when you think about it. I praise the Lord for the gift of my family and my church family. Both have really been a blessing to me in many ways.
