It was a busy weekend. As it seems like things are as summer winds down.



Jay took Friday off of work for Emma's first day of school. It was "parent" day, as all Friday's are where the parents have time to learn some good parenting skills and ideas. It is always great to be in those classes with new people and people who have several older children. It shows just because you have had kids, you still have a lot to learn!





We had a great time. Emma was thrilled to have Jay there and it was nice to have him be able to see how her school and classes work. Hopefully he will have more time this year to join us again!








After school we went to a small, quiet park and enjoyed a picnic. Then played on some slides and all had an "acorn fight" with the thousands that were on the ground. That evening we were off to a graduation party for a friend. Great food and fun chatting and relaxing.




Saturday morning we were up and at 'em early as we were participating in a walk to support lung cancer. We did it in memory of my grandma Pat Wilcox and aunt Carolyn Reid and in support of my friend Judy Golz. She has started the foundation that ran the walk and it was great. They had a terrific turn out and it was so awesome to support them and give hope to those with the disease. We stuck around to chat and look around afterward. We finally had to get home as the girls were falling apart. Unfortunatly we had to cancel dinner plans with some friends that we hadn't seen forever.




Because we originally had other plans that evening, we were flying by the seat of our pants when Auntie Ashley came over then Grandma Kim and Grandpa Don stopped by. Our simple dinner turned into a huge impromptu schmorgasboard. I litterally felt like I was going to split right open because I ate so much!



This morning church started their fall schedule so things didn't get underway until a little later. Emma started Sunday School back up again and she was SO excited. And even more so when she got her new bible. After church we made a quick pit stop at McD's then off to do a little fishing.



It was a beautiful day. Perfect to be out on the lake!! We caught a few little fish and now that the girls have smaller poles, they were able to catch their own. All of the little friends were thrown back in the water. We all just like looking at them then giving them back to the water.



Home for naps. Although Madz obviously didn't get the message that was next on the agenda because he was crabbing for an hour and a half. She finally crashed out but I woke her up shortly thereafter and she wasn't very happy about it.



We went for a walk, went bike riding and rollerskating tonight. Getting in all that we can until hell, I mean, winter comes.
