Little sibs--Check. Small group--Check. Lunch after church--Check.

Saturday was kind of a weird day as it is whenever Kaite is traveling. It really shouldn't affect our day because we can't do anything about anything she's doing, but we always feel a little in limbo until we know she's arrived at her destination. I asked why we can track packages and know when they have left certain locations and arrived at others, and yet, we can't do that with people. Jeff said something about privacy, yada, yada, yada.... :) People wouldn't HAVE to give out their tracking number if they didn't want to! :)

I did have time to make a cake for today (more later) and drink some coffee and read my Lucky magazine in the morning. Jeff gave himself a haircut. We finally went for a walk--I also was kind of waiting for it to warm up and get nicer since the forecast had said "high of 65" for Saturday. It was cloudy and only 50s, but when we finally went for a walk, it did get brighter and warmer. Turned into a very nice sunny late afternoon.

We went to Marc's to get stuff for a salad for small group, then to Wal-Mart to get some other stuff, got home just in time to make the salad before people started to arrive. Whew! That's the beauty of not having to cook the main course! Kyle made lasagna (veggie) and Alycia made regular lasagna. Justin and Laura brought Texas Toast--and I thought horrified the French would be at the treatment of that bread. When I took it out of the box/package, it was completely covered in slippery, thick buttery stuff. 9 grams of fat/piece! It toasted nicely in the oven, but oh my...

Kyle had said Taylor would be here for dinner with a friend and then leave before the study, and so we assumed that meant a little person friend...it was an adult friend of Lisa's however, so that threw us off a little. Don't know why, but it was just a surprise, and I had to re-group! She was very nice and took Taylor to see a movie after dinner.

We told everyone that we needed to leave at 9pm to pick up the girls at Kent, so they all left right before that. We actually left around 9:15pm after cleaning up a little bit more. We still got there before the movie was over and waited for them in the student center parking lot. We took them back to the dorm, loaded up stuff, and said goodbye to Hannah, and took them home. We got home around 11pm.

Then to bed and up for music this morning, then I was in the nursery with Rosie, and church--good day--several new families and a great worship set and message. We ordered pizza after church and took it to James and Jenny's house for lunch. They live in Bath which is a beautiful area, but full of twists, turns, and hills. They are a really nice family and we talked and laughed a lot. Left around 3pm and got home in time for Abby to leave again and go to GVUMC. She's had a very busy weekend!

So now I need to unpack things from Little Sibs weekend and wash some towels, do the grocery list and definitely go for a walk! Our thermometer today when we got home said 90 degrees!!! The high is supposed to be 80. Oh yeah, I remember what this feels like! Being warm!! Opening windows, using the secret screen, lovely!

It sounded like everyone had a really fun time at Kent. The girls were joking around that Hannah didn't let them out of the room, made them clean her room and do her homework all weekend... :) But they really went to a carnival, swam, watched a couple of movies, ate at Eastway, and other fun things I'm sure. Ehler wasn't feeling great--sore throat, I think. I hope Hannah stays healthy for the last few weeks of school, and that Ehler feels better today.

Kaite sounds like she is having a good start to her week in Spain. Not sure of her plans for the week exactly, but I know God has her there for a reason, and He will show her what that is. And WE are excited that it is less than a week until she gets home to Ohio!! Sounds so much less exotic than France or Spain... Oh well, it's still home, and it's where God has us, exotic or not!

And now I'm off to do what I must do. Until later, dear readers!
