These illnesses are really testing me! I’m not one to lay low so being home-bound for the past few weeks has started to take it’s toll. I am happy to report that I’m on my 3rd day of antibiotics and no longer contagious for strep. I am on the mend (knocking furiously on wood!).

We have been on the search for a church in our area and finally found one this weekend that B and I can agree on. He grew up Catholic and I grew up Methodist and we never found a good middle ground until now. It’s just spitting distance (well, that might be exaggerating because I haven’t actually tried to spit on it….) from our house and there are tons of kids! The nursery is really great and Miss Gwyneth walked in like she owned the place. She loved hanging out and playing with the other little ones, but Annabelle wanted to go to the service with us. She did great and there were plenty of other kids in our section to keep her entertained. We’re looking forward to visiting again and taking advantage of some of the family friendly activities they have planned in our area.

Sunday evening The Rewalts joined us for dinner and B put his new Morton’s Steakhouse Bible to good use! B searched all over town for the ingredients for his au jus and it was well worth the effort (he had to visit 3 different Whole Foods to get exactly what he needed!). He grilled steaks and corn on the cob and we whipped up some mashed potatoes. Dinner was delicious. There’s no denying – B can grill!

Here’s a few random photos from the weekend of my sweet little Gwyneth. I wasn’t in picture-taking-mode this weekend so these are the only one’s I’ve got…

This big smile is because as Annabelle naps Gwyneth is wearing her shoes. She’s thrilled with her steal!

She makes this face & gesture and asks “Where’s Annabelle?” Priceless!

Always time for a round or two or three of peak-a-boo!
