This Saturday we were honored with a visit from the kids godmother and my friend Alice Virginia Daniel. We had a blast and I just hate the visit had to be so short, keeping our fingers crossed for another visit before Christmas. Marvin was off Saturday (hallelujah!) and we got our grocery shopping done for the week and a few home improvement projects started.
Alice Virginia came over a little before lunch, this was her first visit to the new house. She has been wanting to see Mama's bookstore so we were going to take Camden and have a girls lunch date in Grenada. Right before we were getting ready to leave Camden asked me if she could stay at home with her Daddy! This is huge because she has never turned down an opportunity to see Nana.
We really enjoyed the trip there and the food at Carmella's was wonderful! Around four Alice's friends came to get her and I headed to one of my weekly cleaning assignments. Once the kids were in bed for the night Marvin, John, and I rented the movie Tracker. I have been wanting to rent it for several weeks but it was always unavailable at our local redbox rental.
Today was just as eventful as Saturday. Sunday school, church, lunch, house cleaning, and an afternoon run. Then we went to church to participate in a ceremony involving several men and their families to sign a pledge that was inspired by the movie courageous. The men wore suits and we dressed up with them as well. I am so happy to be a part of a church that isn't afraid to place men in their rightful spot as spiritual heads of the family. It was a simple service and Neil only screamed once. I am also excited about our Christmas card picture this year!!! My friend April Castle met us at church a little early to try and get a family picture we could use for our Christmas card. Marvin suggested this time since we would all be dressed up anyway and I am so glad he did! April got the perfect shot and both kids were cooperating because they like her. I can't wait to get it back so I can start hunting for the perfect layout! Yes I am a nerd and yes we live a simple life:)
The only downfall to this weekend was not having the brains to get a picture of Alice Virginia with the kids. I really hope she comes back soon!
