Busy and Fun Weekend

This past weekend we had a lot going on and it turned into a really great weekend.

The weekend started early for us, Toby Mac performed at the state fair and we were able to go. Yup that's right we went out for an evening with just the two of us...the first time since the little guy was born 8 1/2 months ago.

We had a great time enjoying dessert before the concert with our fair must have...ice cream from the Dairy Barn, yum yum! It was great to spend some time with family too as my sister and her husband joined us for the concert. Of course Todd's ears rang for the rest of the night and the next day but he said it was well worth it.

As an added bonus, we got to see fireworks after the show!!

 

The little guy did great going to bed for grandpa and grandma. I will admit I was a little nervous, but they just worn him out and laid him down; the big boy only cried for 5-10 minutes. This made for a very happy mommy :)

 

The weekend continued with many, many sewing projects. A few skirts for myself, one for my sister, and new pillow covers for the living room (sorry no pictures yet, I will post once the whole living room is complete). It was great to have the time to complete some of these long awaited projects and they went well with the help of my teacher, Todd's mom...but something tells me I will be hemming my own pants from now on.

 

We took advantage of our happy boy and numerous babysitters around on Saturday morning and went for our first bike ride of the year. Yes, yes, very sad that it is August and it is the first ride we have had but it was a great one. We kept it short since we had so much going on and only did 15 miles. Oh did it feel good to get back out there, riding has been greatly missed in our home.

 

We wrapped up the weekend with an extended family gathering for lunch at our house. We try to do this once a month with all of Todd's family that lives in the area. (We were beginning to feel left out since the family gets together every second Sunday up in the NW portion of the state, so we started our own).

 

After everyone left on Sunday there was an odd quiet in our home.
