Our fun-filled weekend!

Wow! What a whirlwind weekend!

Saturday we went to the Ohio Scottish Games in Wellington. Ron and Ginny had invited us to go, the whole family was there including Kirk's Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Bruce. We had a great time. The day went by fast, there was so much to see and do! It was neat to hear and see more about Scottish history. The bagpipes were amazing, the sound of the huge combined bagpipes in the opening ceremony gave me goosebumps! It was great. Brady had a fun time, he was able to participate in the Border Collie demonstration and also play a kid Scottish game. Both Brady and Bethany enjoyed petting the animals(we washed their hands real well after!). Cara thought we should buy one of the cows that were for sale buuuut we decided to pass this time. Hey Cara, maybe we'll buy it for you for your birthday, seeing we know how much you LOOOOOVE animals! ;) I had one of the best corn dogs I had in a long time too. It was so good. And you are thinking, are corn dogs a Scottish food? Well, probably not a traditional food, but it was darn good so it was Scottish to me on Saturday! I've attached some pictures of the day below.

On Sunday, we woke up really early and went to Pittsburgh to see Eric, Christy and Abigail, and most importantly to see Abigail get dedicated. She did such a good job, she was wide-eyed taking it all in. Instead of the pastor speaking this Sunday, Eric and Chirsty's church had The India Children's Choir perform. It was so good! I liked it because they actually did a musical where they told of their tribe's history and how they became a Christian tribe. The kids were as sweet as they could be! One little girl just loved Bethany! She told my mom that she had a little sister back home that was Bethany's age and she missed her so much. They travel 11 months out of the year! It was sweet and a real blessing.
After church we went out to eat to a yummy Italian restaurant, then we went back to thier house and visited a little with Eric, Christy and Abigail for a little bit longer before we had to head back home. It was so nice to see them, we hadn't seen them in a couple of months. Abigail has grown so much and she's starting to sit up! She's precious! :)



Weekends like this are tiring, but they are definately worth it!!


I had to get a picture of this cutie in somewhere in this post! ;)

The weekend

Friday, Kirk took a comp day and we were able to go to IN and visit Bonnie for a couple of hours. It was so nice. We hadn't seen her since Christmas. Robin and Liz got there later and Brady had a fun time with them, it was pretty funny when he told them that their rooms were messy and they needed to clean them. It was a really good visit.

Well, once we got home things took a turn for the worse with little Bethany. She had been acting a little off the whole day, but I knew she was teething and one of her 2yr molars was starting to pop through. As I was getting dinner ready, she was crying a lot and Kirk was trying to soothe her and hold her. Just as I was getting ready to sit down with my food and Oops! Up it all comes out of Bethany. She never got sick again after that but the whole weekend she was battling a 104 temp off and on. So I stayed home with Bethany on Saturday while Brady and Kirk went to soccer and T-ball. Saturday night was hard, Kirk ended up sleeping with her in the rocking chair. I decided to stay home with her Sunday morning too. She still had a high temp and the Motrin hadn't kicked in by the time we needed to go. She slept a lot yesterday, which I think helped. She finally ate some applesauce last night and also some crackers. This morning she was doing a lot better. No more temp. PTL!!

Other than a sick child, my Mother's Day was relaxing. I got two pots of flowers that Brady planted himself from Brady and Bethany. They are very pretty. Since we were unable to go out to eat like what Kirk had planned, Kirk ordered some Chinese food which I had been wanting. It was SOOO yummy!
