Such a good weekend.

In addition to a fun dinner at Madison’s, and Saige’s first communion, we also had an opportunity to see all our kids and their significant others.   Oh and their puppies!  Colin and Spencer’s puppy is hilarious.  He weights about 10 pounds and has a high pitched bark but still thinks he is the most ferocious dog in the universe!   After mass and breakfast, Colin, Cameron and Spencer took the kids and the puppy to swim at the lake.   It was the kid’s first time to swim this summer.  If you are familiar with my kids at all, you will know that the lack of being in the water has been hard for them!   They swam for a few hours before Colin, Spencer and Volt headed back to Wichita.   It was awesome to see them all!  

We got a huge kick out of this kid eating her weight in breakfast foods at Saige’s reception.  She loves eggs.  Oh and donuts.  She’s the sweetest baby girl.  

After the breakfast, while the kids were swimming, Jim ran and picked up my new washing machine.  We have been hand washing the clothes for several days now.  I am so happy that the machine came in as promised and that Jim and the boys were able to get me up and running.  I bought a speed queen.  They are supposed to be amazing machines. I have been very happy with my dryer so far.   Of course, if it lasts more than 6 years, it will have beat the last machine. It comes with a 15 year warranty...something that you just don’t see much anymore.  Fingers crossed!  

This evening, Lauren drove down and spent the evening with Cameron and us.  We were happy to get to see her too!   Cameron and Lauren decided to go fishing.  They took Preston and Saige with them.  They all caught several and Lauren even took photos!  It was nice to visit with both of them!   

Having all of our kids home at the same time doesn’t happen very often anymore.  I am thankful for days like this.  Of course, I could use another weekend to recover from the weekend!
