Labor Day

I was very ready for Labor Day weekend. The week before, Rob was working late every night till 10 or 11 so I was looking forward to not being a single mother anymore and for the kids to see him again. Our friend Greg Dahl and his wife, Lara, were in town from Atlanta for the weekend. On Saturday,we got a last minute babysitter for Jack and Callie, and met them and our friends the Barr's at Disney's Fantasia miniature golf course. It was raining pretty much the whole day but this did not stop the boys from wanting to golf. Lara was a great sport and played in the rain with them. I was happy that I had Hudson as my excuse not to play in the rain and we had fun visiting with Lianne and her baby Ian. Afterwards, we went to dinner at Bahama Breeze. Sunday after church, the Barr's had us over for a BBQ. It was nice to continue visiting with them and the Dahl's. We stayed over way too late talking and our kids got had fun getting into mischief with Adam and Lianne's daughter, Clara -- there was haircutting and big water messes-- but the kids had a blast. Thanks for having us over Adam and Lianne. It was so much fun to see Greg again and to meet Lara. I hope we see them again soon. Labor Day was disappointing. We were supposed to spend the day at my sister's house and were really looking forward getting together with my whole family there. That morning, we got everything packed up and ready to go. On the drive over, Callie, who had not been her usual sunny self that morning, threw up a lot so we turned around and headed back home. It was very sad to see Callie sick and to have to miss out on the fun family day. Callie slept the rest of the day and was feeling much better that evening. I was happy that we had a fun weekend to balance Monday's disappointment.



On Monday, Rob also went and picked up a shipment of food storage that we had ordered a few months ago. I am happy that with this shipment and with Rob canning two weeks ago at the storehouse, we are now finally making a big dent in our year supply. Now, if only we could find a good place to put it all.....

Lastly, here are the latest pictures of Hudson.
