It’s a sunny bright Monday morning.  So far, I’ve exercised, showered, had breakfast and watered my container garden.  And guess what…I have little baby zucchini!!  They’re so cute!  And as that is the extent of what I have to say about today, so far, here’s a quick recap of the weekend:

Friday, I goofed off around the house and ran some errands.  Eric got home about 4:35, and we left for Cedarville shortly thereafter for Chris’ birthday party, arriving before Chris!  We had pizza, played with Karen’s puppy and the girls and talked a lot.  Kathy & Alan brought Michelle’s three girls over for a bit, so we held the babies and the little girls played.  We stayed really late, so it was nearly 11:00 before we got home and to bed. 

Saturday, I read the newspaper and started a new book.  Eric worked on taking apart a computer in the loft to give it to my brother.  So he spent much of the day organizing its systems and getting it ready to go.  I’m very glad that it went away because we never used it (we have 3 other working computers, and at least 3 that don’t work!) and because now I get the other desk in the loft so I’ll have a wired internet connection for my laptop and a real desk (so I can get rid of my crappy Sauder one in the other room which is old and broken).  Yippee!!

Anyway, we spent Saturday evening at the Edlund’s with all the family and all the kids.  Too many fun stories.

• I actually managed to pick up and hold both twins at once.  This was a major feat for me!
• I discovered, not surprisingly, that I’m not very good at cornhole.  But it is fun to play.
• The little girls are learning to share…which meant there were a few brief meltdowns.  Who knew that little plastic boats and cups were such valuable commodities!?!
• Kayla still cries whenever she is held by Karen’s Erik.  No one knows why.  But it’s a fun picture to take every time we get together!!
• And for anyone who wants to see (or download) the pictures we took that night, Eric’s website has them ready to go.  You can download the entire group or only the ones you want.  Let me know if you have issues seeing them or getting them.

Sunday was very laid back.  I was incredibly tired from the two parties and running back and forth.  I had trouble focusing at church.  After church, we grilled pork chops.  I talked to my mom for a while.  Then Eric & I both read for much of the rest of the day.  I finished the book I’d started on Saturday morning.  Eric is 3/4 of the way through the book he started.  We got to bed about 10.
