Wow! It’s Been a Month. . .

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jan @ 9:07 pm

It’s been more than a month since I’ve written a new posting – oops!  It’s been a busy month, getting back to work, walking with Jill two nights a week, and being sick too.

I went to Megan’s101_4658

and Peyton’s IMG00060

school open houses in the same week then went to Abby’s preschool open house the following week.  101_4697

Jessica and Adam came to spend the weekend with us last weekend for the first time since they were married.  Jessica and Adam tried out my new Snuggie John bought me.  When they arrived, I was wearing the Snuggie with my arms up in the air and TRIED to say, “Are you ready to go to the football game?”  I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t say it.  Jessica knew what I was trying to say anyway since she’s seen the silly commercials on TV too!

It is truly one size fits all.101_4709

It was big enough that Jessica and Adam could both fit into it at the same time :)

We celebrated Adam’s birthday with the leftover pieces of the cake Jessica had made for him – after Adam made us delicious omelets.

We went to Jessica’s friend Tonia’s wedding at the park on Saturday, then spent time with her friends at the reception. 101_4743

(Lindsy, Tonia, Amberly, and Jessica.)

Adam and Lindsy’s husband, Dan, spent the entire time talking about sports (as far as I know – every time I heard their conversation, that’s what they were talking about!)

Friday night, John and I went to the rehearsal at the park in the pouring rain.  It was difficult to practice holding umbrellas.  We were blessed with gorgeous weather Saturday, except for the wind. 101_4723 The best moment of the wedding, in my opinion, was after the bridesmaids walked down the aisle.  The girls had arrived at the park in a big black SUV.  When the bridal march began, the SUV sped away and Tonia was standing there!  It was impressive.

Saturday night, we attended the barbershop concert in DuBois.  John has been practicing for this show for a couple months. 101_4747

(Unfortunately, I was too far away to get decent pictures of the chorus.)

Sunday afternoon after church, we had a potluck to celebrate Mike’s safe return from Iraq.  After that, we went to Amy’s house where Jessica performed OMM on Amy, Megan, Abby, and me! 101_4784

This was the first time she had worked on children so it was good practice on willing patients :) 101_4791

Summer is definitely over and Fall is here.  We’ve had a lot of rain today and the temperature is getting colder.  The Weather Channel said we’re supposed to have a mix of rain and SNOW Tuesday!

  2. All that was missing was a photo of JOHN in the snuggie. I’d get one myself, except that with the temperature where Leroy likes it, I have no need of one.
