Family and a Friend

Our weekend consisted of family and a friend. Here's a recap...

Saturday - I decided to do a little Garage Saleing in the morning. Our church had their sale, so wanted to check that out. Got a bunch of new books for the kids - some easy readers for Maria. I then went to another church rummage sale and found a bunch of novels for myself. Rummage sales are the best places to get books!
Grandma and Grandpa O and Diane and the girls came down for the weekend, so we went to Amy's for a fish fry (yummy, yum, yum!!). They hadn't seen Greta yet, so it was good that they got to meet her finally. Sorry that we haven't made it up north yet with her.
We had a great time visiting with family and letting the kids play together.

Sunday - Maria and Raymond had their last day of Sunday school until next fall, so they put on a concert afterwards. Maria did great and was really into the songs, singing loudly. Raymond was the opposite :( He sat down on the risers and was either sitting or laying down for the entire concert. He didn't sing at all and just sat there frowning. He can be so stubborn!
After the concert, we met Amy, Morgan, kids, Grandma and Grandpa at Amy's church for a pancake breakfast. We got an unexpected bonus when we pulled up and saw a big fire truck as they were also having a health fair. So the kids got to tour the fire truck (although I think Dave and I had more questions and were more excited than the kids - its been a long time since I got to see a fire truck up close). We also got free fruit, snacks, and toothbrushes. Score!
In the early evening my good friend, Karolyn, arrived. She moved out of town about 5 months ago, and I miss her a lot. Luckily, she has to come back for work every now and then. So she gets to stay with us and we get to hang out. We went out for dinner and did some shopping (along with Greta - who is the best shopping baby ever as she just sleeps).
