Lots of stuff including a visit from Antie and Uncie

Last weekend we hosted Antie, Uncie and Jenna! Jenna is their granddaughter and just a wonderful person. I have never met her and when I reminded Uncie of that, they decided to visit us to remedy that! It was a lovely visit and very quiet. Daddy made a wonderful Shabbat dinner Friday night, Saturday we saw Uncle Todd, Aunt Shelly and the babies and relaxed the rest of the day. Before we knew it, they were gone on Sunday.


In fact, our guests were gone so early that we had the entire day to fill! We're always sad when we have to say goodbye to Uncie and Antie that we needed to do something as a family. Daddy had the idea to take the kids to "Toy Story 3", and both girls handled the theater experience well. The movie was a bit scary for Samantha at times, so she spent most of the movie on my lap while I reassured her.


Samantha was at another zoo camp last week, so Friday afternoon Uncie made it just in time to join me at her party. She appreciated the surprise and I'm grateful that Uncie accompanied me.


On Friday we presented another surprise for the girls... we now have a play set in the backyard and we have been using it daily since it was installed. It's just enough and I'm glad we did it!
