We are home.

We had a great weekend with Sarah and Joel. We drove down to Kings Mountain late Friday night. It was great to see her family and spend time with them. We do this about once a year. Sarah's dad likes to treat Joel and the guys to a game a year. While the guys were out, we girls went to bridal shower for Sarah's new sister-in-law. They hired 3 baby sitters for the 6 kids. One was hired just for Jamie. How nice was that. When we all got back, they had a cookout. We also had a party for Katie. She will be 4 on Sept 17th. It seems like yesterday we were looking through the window at her and Joel in the nursy of the hospital. My goodness, it brings tears to my eyes.

We got home about 1:30 this afternoon. We did some picking up and we then we all took a nap. Ahhh...that is what I wanted out of the holiday weekend. After we all got up we had dinner. Then Jamie bounced in his jumper-roo, which he loves papa! Aubrey and Steve had a serious game of cooties. Then we did bathes and started a movie in the playroom. Aubrey wanted 101 Dalmations tonight. We just had an ice cream snack while we watched our movie.

I wanted to include some pictures from this weekend and tonight. Also, so if you know Joel, he likes to spice things up...like mess with me. So, as long as I have had Aubrey's pictures going up the stairs, he has always made them crooked for me. Last Sunday night while Steven was hanging some pictures for me he wanted to level the Aubrey pictures up the stairs, I reminded him that Joel was coming, so he stopped. Sure enough. Joel attacked. This time not even did he make them crooked, he took one and hid it. I found it in the guest bed. (Aubrey) was all tucked in the covers. This is our brother, Joel. We hope that his meeting went well, and they can move our here. Cross your fingers.

So, if you all are concerned about Chad and Melissa, Steven called him this afternoon. He is in Tallahassee and his family is all out of New Orleans and they are scattered around. You can check is blog for updates. www.obichad.blogspot.com. His blog was nice during Katrina, it kept his family in touch, along with we knew what was going on. Jerry we haven't heard from you guys. I hope the best for you all. Keep in touch.
