The Weekend

The summer always seems to bring weekends filled with activities. In fact, we realized last night that all but one of our weekends this summer has events already planned whether it be softball, a birthday party or an out-of-town trip. Though we stuck around this weekend, it seemed almost every available moment was filled, and when it wasn't, we felt like we should be doing something. I think I need to practice relaxing...

Friday night we took a drive to a community were interested in living in, enjoyed some Anna's pizza and spent some time at Nonnie's pricing items for the yard sale we had on Saturday morning. We had an early start for the yard sale on Saturday. We arrived at 7:30 (supposed to start at 8am) with people already shopping. The first person arrived at 6:15 - Mechanicsville folks love their yardsales! It was a hot day, but people still came, and we all enjoyed making a bit of money. Geoff played softball ALLLL day - literally. He didn't come pick us up until 10:30 that night. So, we made a trip to Cracker Barrel with Mimi and Granddad for dinner, and I caught up on the last few episodes of Parenthood (love that show!) that Mom had dvred for me. M&M also was able to meet three of her cousins for the first time. My step-brother Drew and family just moved from Ohio to Manassas last week for his next appointment with the Air Force (thanks, Drew!). We are looking forward to having them closer. Below are a few pics of M&M with Kallie.

And Sunday brought more softball, so M&M and I headed to church on our own. Taking M&M to the church nursery is probably near in the future as she's starting to get wriggly staying in one place for an hour and a half. Though it hit 102, we thought we'd venture to the softball field after church to at least say hello, but when we arrived they were wrapping up their last game. No one seemed too disappointed as everyone was eager to get out of the heat. The rest of the day we spent at home playing, napping, reading (I finished a great book called Adopted for Life - if you're considering adoption, you should read it), and starting Rosetta Stone. Geoff speaks Spanish well already, but he really wants to improve his vocab and learn how to conjugate correctly, so this was his Father's Day present. I'm hoping to use it, too, once he's finished, but for now adios amigos (you can see I learned a lot in the 5 years I took it). Have a great week!
