Busy Labor Day Weekend

We had a very busy but super fun weekend!

Friday night: we went out with my sister, bro-in-law, and their baby, and another young couple. This other couple has just bought a house, so we went to see it. It was pretty moldy smelling, so I played with my nephew outside.

He loves water bottles!

After we looked around their new house, we went to Panera for supper. It was a really fun time of fellowship with friends!

Saturday: we participated in the annual War Between the States reenactment in our town. I will post lots more pictures of it later this week.

My little bro is the Confederate flag bearer, Jacob and his bro, Judah are in the first row, and my bro-in-law is the guy in the white shirt in the back row.

Sunday: we went to church, took a nice long afternoon nap and went to my parent's house for supper after Sunday night church.

Monday (Labor Day): we ate breakfast with Jacob's family. I made delicious pumpkin pancakes to go along with eggs, sausage, biscuits, and coffee. It was nice to visit with Jacob's grandparents and one of his aunts that we don't see very often.

We headed up to Tennessee for a "Painless Labor Day Party" hosted by our midwife. ha! There was really good food (pulled pork, ribs, and all the fixin's) and we got to meet lots of other families who had successfully made it through natural childbirth. It was very encouraging!

We even got our picture made with the stork! LOL.

After the party Jacob and I went to Target and registered for baby stuff. It's so fun to pick stuff out! I love all the cute little girl stuff!

A couple from church invited us and my sis & bro-in-law over for supper. We had a yummy dinner of steak, potatoes, salad, and fruit. After dinner we played Bible Challenge (each couple was a team) and just enjoyed really good fellowship.

It was a fabulous weekend, but I'm completely worn out from all the running around! I am so thankful that God has given us wonderful family and Christian friends that we can get together with often. We are incredibly blessed!
