Other fun stuff from our weekend...

Ryan, I mean Archer, stumbles on his way to home base

Archer and I played baseball and as he was rounding the bases (just generally running around in the grass with not a single base in sight) he went down and I tagged him while shouting, "Oh he's down!! He's OUTA HERE!" I fended off a meltdown by telling him its just like what happened to Ryan Braun the other day. "Archer, you're just like Ryan Braun, he rounded third base and tripped and was tagged out!" Archer's response... "Really?" He was ok with me comparing him to a major league player. And then he said, and here's the stretch, get ready for it. "I AM Ryan Braun!" I laughed and we played a few more minutes before I had to get back to cleaning the garage.

We enjoyed a pot luck picnic at church to welcome our new head pastor. I was happy that our kids know other kids that they can play with at events like that. I was so comforted when Shelly couldn't find us and she was able to find another adult that she knew who would keep her close until we were found. Church family is awesome.

David and I made another batch of salsa after the kids went to bed one evening. I know the kids would have loved to help but I have to say, it was fun for it to be just between David and me. I love working with him on projects, each adding our parts and laughing together along the way.
I think we did a million other things but I don't even remember them now. I just know it was good. Smiles all around. I sometimes wonder how much of all this our kids will remember when they're grown up. But guess what? It doesn't really matter, does it? What matters is that they know we love them, we're teaching them to love God and each other, and that's what counts.
