Weekend Reflection
(This is a post from my deleted blog. I have put the pics and links back in yet.)
We had a great week at the Baseballs and Bows house. My parents arrived last Saturday from California. Not only did we have the opportunity to spend time with them, but they also kept the kids for us a couple of times. On Sunday afternoon, hubby and I went to see Ocean's 13, and on Tuesday evening we used a gift certificate from Christmas for dinner at Stoney River (yes, it took us almost six months to go). I also managed to sneak away on Friday afternoon for a pedicure. All of these outings were wonderful!
Because my parents were here, my aunt and uncle came for dinner on Thursday. They also brought their grandson. We grilled burgers and had blackberry dumpling cobbler; the grownups visited and the kids enjoyed playing. My parents left on Saturday afternoon, and we were sad to see them return to CA. Grammy and Papa will be happy to know that my best girl didn't really want to believe that they were gone. This morning, she wanted to run straight to the guest bedroom to see them. I am sure we will have to explain for several days that we won't see Grammy and Papa for a few months.
Yesterday, we celebrated my husband's Granny's birthday at our house with around 35 of my husband's closest relatives. We had BBQ other yummy things to eat. This is an annual event, and we usually take pictures of the whole gang. Sadly, we forgot to do our group photos this year. I did, however, snap a picture of the birthday girl. Granny is a very young 87! We hope we will be celebrating with her for many years to come.
(You'll notice in the picture that our grass is brown. Middle Tennessee could really use some rain!)
Finally, my favorite boy had swim lessons this week. I was really proud of him. He is very hesitant around water; he likes to play and splash, but when he is in deeper water, he becomes very nervous. Several of the things his teacher wanted him to do scared him. Most of the time, however, he willingly did what she asked him to do, even though I could tell he didn't want to. I hope that by the end of next week he will be feeling much more comfortable in the water.
That's it for us! We had a great week; I hope you did as well! For more Weekend Reflections, visit Judi.
