Visitors and Dresses

Love having visitors... and we had some great ones - Ian, Jen, Evan and Colin.  They came up Friday night and stayed through Sunday morning.  Saturday we had a great day - the girls went dress shopping and the boys stayed home with the kids and the smoker (we were having brisket for dinner).  And it was a very successful day!!

I am so happy to post that I got my dress and absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it!!!  And since I can't post a picture of it - a drawing from Karle will have to do until the big day!  And I think once you see the actual dress - you will realize how great of a job she did for being only 6.  She actually drew a picture of every dress that I came out in.

While Jen, Mary, Karle and I were dress shopping, the boys were at home - doing boy things.  Have a few beers, smoking meat, and hanging with the kiddies!  All successful - the brisket they made was so awesome!  Great job Ryan!!  And we ended Saturday night with some Euchre playing - and I am very happy to announce that Jen and I defeated the Delaney brothers... look out boys there will be much more of that to come!

We also attempted to do a Delaney picture - and despite some unwilling subjects, we actually got something that might work.  Gotta love pictures with kids in them!

Sunday was another great day as we started the master bedroom project, dropped my car off at the dealership to get a recall fix and had an amazing lunch at Zingerman's in AA.
