Better Late...

My parents visited with us a couple of weeks back! We had such a great time while they were here. We surprised the kids with their visit first of all.

 

I think it was Friday we ate out at one of my FAVORITE new restaurants....riverside!

And we visited the local farmers market and playground on Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

And here's the turtle we saw on the way home sitting on the side of the road, munchin' away!

On Sunday we had some family over for a cookout (and some cornhole!).

 

 

 

Then, on Monday we drove north a bit, we saw where I was going for my interview the next day and visited a splash pad (where Mom and I had to FORCE the kids to play in the water....seriously!) and watched them play on the playground, while Dad and Jeremy went to look at the river, boats, etc.

 

My parents flew out last Wednesday (9.7.11). Dad had his second knee surgery on Monday (9.12.11). He is doing FaBuLoUs from what I can tell. It seems this surgery and the recovery has gone a lot smoother than the first!. Yea, Dad!!

Saturday we took a trip to the beach. We met friends from small group over there and enjoyed a beautiful day on the east coast. We got there pretty early - saw a rocket taking off, dolphins, sand crabs...pretty neat! Then, of course we made it home in time to watch Alabama get a W!

Jeremy & I participated in a parenting class our church offered on Sunday afternoon after we went to church. Plans are for more resources and ability to gather and discuss parenting - things that work, how to be a witness to your children, etc. Definitely needed! ha!

Oh, and I forgot. We went to a baseball game back in August (8/20 I believe). Check out this sign:

 Can you say "Gross"?

 
 Okay...enough recap for me for know!
 
I wanted to share this awesome performance from First Baptist Oviedo's July 4th Production. I hope you will take some time to enjoy the choir and orchestra!

There was also a great September 11 program...but I don't see it up just yet!


Allergies are here for us, and I'm feeling it! Here's to kicking it quick!
