A chance to catch my breath and recap the past couple of weeks. A few of the fun things going on in our lives and some that are just plain noteworthy.
1. Kip and I got a weekend away from it all to reconnect. We were at a Couples Retreat up at Horn Creek. We reconnected with each other and with our love of the great outdoors. Not only was the fellowship fun and the teaching great but, we also got to snowshoe!! It was simply amazing. Oh, we also got to experience log fights, I need to track down digital photos of this, what fun!
2. Lots of birthday’s this month! We had four birthday parties in four days! One was a surprise party for a dear friend, that was lots of fun, then the kids each had a party to attend on Saturday and then my mom’s birthday dinner was Monday. Lots of fun.
3. Hayden had been wanting to test drive a few cars, so Kip took Hayden on a field trip to Motor City last Saturday. They had so much fun driving a few cars. They left around 8:00 am and I got a call at 11:30, they had found a car that Kip liked, however we needed to get to a birthday party at the mall at 1:00PM. So they drove this car home to “show” me. During the party, we decided it was a good price and Kip would go back w/ Hayden and do paperwork, for his Nissan Pathfinder. Well, that evening Kip was out with some friends and Hayden tells me, “Mom, isn’t it funny how we just went to drive some cars and we bring the Pathfinder home to show you and take a picture of it and then dad buys it?” I had to laugh, “yeah pretty funny!” I am seeing a little premeditation here!
4. I now firmly believe we never lose the passion for the hobbies we do. After a five year sabbatical from stamping I am now back into it. It is so fun to have so many friends who share this passion too. Now, I just need to find a way to play and not stay up so late!
