Weekend Snapshots

One of the reasons my children were so excited on Friday was because we had a HUGE weekend planned. Friday night was the Daddy/Daughter Dinner & Dance. K got her very first manicure in dual honor of the celebration and the fact that she stopped biting her nails.

Saturday we had two birthday parties. I think the adults had more fun at the skating party than the 5 year olds. It was so much fun to try out our old moves and see if we still had 'it.' (I don't, by the way.) It seemed like such a great idea to teach the children to skate by holding on to my back pockets. Unfortunately when K lost control (only seconds after this picture) her spill became my spill. It was a very graceful moment caught on video--complete with my yelping as I stumbled and wiped out.

Saturday afternoon we traveled to Atlanta to visit with Grandmother and Granddaddy. They kindly watched our children while we went out for a lovely anniversary dinner. Sunday we attended Buckhead Church, had a delicious brunch at Brio and visited with Nana.
I adore that at 91 1/2 Nana looks this fabulous...even in a gown! Rides in her wheelchair were a highlight for the boys.

Sunday night we had dinner with Storey, our beloved former babysitter, who is departing next week for a three year assignment with Young Life in Germany.

It was an wonderful weekend full of family and friends--a reminder of how very, very blessed we are by the relationships in our lives. I love that our children are already surrounded by such strong ties to others. What a blessing!
