Visitors!

Mark's dad Ron and step-mom, Maureen, arrived a week ago this past Thursday, 9/13. The kids were already in bed, so they waited until Friday morning to come over from their hotel. We visited at the house a bit, Jacob really enjoyed having them all to himself for a while. We all played the matching game that Grandpa and Grandma Mo brought for him. Jacob LOVES that game!

Ron, Maureen, Mark, Jacob and I had some lunch at Chik-fil-A and did a Wal-Mart run a bit later in the day, then went to pick Janie up from school at 3:15. She was so excited to see Grandpa and Grandma Mo!


That afternoon, Ron, Mark and Janie played putt-putt.


Jason (my brother) stopped for a short visit that night. He was heading west for a river float.


The next day, 9/14, started with soccer for both Janie and Jacob.




Mark and I attended a wedding that afternoon/night, so Janie and Jacob got to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma Mo for the rest of the day.

Sunday, 9/15, we all went to church and then headed over to Ron and Maureen's hotel for a dip in the pool.


Janie had choir at 4:00, so we dropped her off at our church and then went home. Ron and Maureen joined us at the house a bit later for dinner.

Ron and Maureen spent the weekdays (9/17 - 9/21) venturing off on little days trips.

On Friday night, 9/21, we all went to Janie's school's family picnic. Families associated with restaurants provided food (wings and spaghetti w/meatballs), and a bank provided pizza and bottled water. Every family brought a dessert. I really enjoyed getting to meet some more parents from Janie's class and just enjoying a beautiful, cool night with our family.


Saturday the 22nd brought more soccer...




... and a trip downtown to attend Oktober Fest, where I took 17 gagillion photos.


















It was great having ya'll visit!
