I could use another day off too

I'm trying not to complain but Peter has today and tomorrow off... and I do not. Not fair. Ok, that's out of my system.

We had a lovely weekend! Friday I got a haircut and then met Peter at Ignite (the monthly event run by my work to stir interest in missions among college students). Peter played the drums as usual and Anita Keagy was the speaker (google her or Joyshop Ministries). We had something like 100 people there so that was pretty amazing. We were home by 9:30 but I was beat.

Saturday we slept in a bit and then after a little lazy time on the couch Peter went to get a haircut and I cleaned the house. I love a clean house. We tried several times to take a family portrait for the Christmas cards with us and both cats but Nutmeg is less than cooperative. She refuses to be picked up or held so unfortunately, she may not appear on the Christmas card. I worry she'll get a complex and feel like the unwanted step-child. But we tried. Later we met my parents and my younger nieces for Red Lobster in Lancaster and it was fantastic.

Sunday we taught Sunday school (and our girls were WILD!) and went to church. After church we went with some friends to Taco Bell and then did our grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. The prices seemed to be better than Giant so I may need to do a little research for the future. We came home and did very little for the rest of the day. I watched some Gilmore Girls and made pancakes for dinner. A lovely weekend.

How am I feeling (for those who asked)? Pretty good! Aside from one bought of morning sickness last week I've just been tired in the evenings. I consider myself very blessed to feel so good. I hope in a couple weeks maybe I can stay awake past 10 again.

Below is my favorite "oops" shot. Kenny was getting a little bored with the photo shoot. And is it me or does Nutmeg look a little smug?

As promised...

Birthday Pictures!

We spent Sunday morning at the ER. Not nearly as exciting as it sounds. Amy couldn't sleep through the pain in her knee. No blood clots, nothing is broken or dislocated. It is probably muscular and just needs time to heal. Amy is already feeling much better and continues to take it easy. The pic below is a Wonder Woman pose, by the way (and yes, one bracelet reads "Fall Risk").

We celebrated another small group birthday - Melinda - on Monday evening. It's always nice to spend time with friends. Even nicer when you don't have to leave the party early because you need to wake up at 2:30 every morning. Can you tell we don't miss the paper route AT ALL?

We scheduled a carpet cleaning for the new house the day after closing. It makes buying a house and moving seem very real. Less than 2 weeks to go! And if that weren't enough to make it seem real, we're jumping through mortgage hoops now too. Fun, fun.

Happy Wednesday!
