A Fun Weekend

We had quite a busy and fun weekend. On Friday night, Brian and I drove to Harrisburg to drop off the kids at my parents before heading to Messiah College to watch a soccer game. Our friend who is a member in the singles caregroup we lead at church goes to Arcadia College and their team won their division to make it to the NCAA tournament. It was a great game ... went to overtime tied 2-2, then our friend scored the winning goal in the first 10 minute sudden death overtime. So that was very exciting! Then we headed back to get the kids, hung out for a little while with my parents, then headed home.

On Saturday I was gone for a good portion of the morning and afternoon throwing a baby shower for my friend who is pregnant with twin girls! Another girl from church and I planned the shower to bless her. We had around 50 ladies attend, so it was a full party. There were so many others who helped in bringing food, making the cakes, decorating, running errands, etc. Thankfully everything went smoothly and it was a wonderful time of blessing my dear friend, Connie. We are so excited for them as they prepare for the arrival of the girls! Then we made a last minute decision to head back to Messiah to watch our friend Matt play in round 2 (thanks to a couple of young girls who were willing to come and stay at the house w/ the kiddos) ... they ended up losing to Messiah but it was a great season and fun to be able to support him by making it to some of his games.

Then yesterday after church we just laid low and all took naps! I had some catching up to do with cleaning, etc. so spent some time doing that. And as well we had a family from church over for dessert later in the day. So it was quite a busy weekend, but lots of fun!

Oh, and on Thursday last week Brian's parents came back for the day and Dad Herr hung my pantry doors downstairs! The basement is looking really good now that Brian finished the ceiling and with more doors up. We just need to work on the trim work and hang the doors for the laundry closet.

Later today, my Mom will be here so that means tonight Brian and I get a date night! I'm looking forward to that very much! Plus the kids will love getting to have Mimi and Uncle Matt here. I've been too busy to take pictures lately, but I'll try and get some while Mom is here visiting tonight and tomorrow morning!
