Our weekend

As usual, we crammed as much in to one weekend as possible. Here is a run down of what last weekend was all about.



  • Friday night was our "low key" night in. I tried to get to bed early and Trever worked on his sermon. It was also my night off from baby duty. Trever got up with Claire in the middle of the night and I got to sleep! Woo hoo!

  • Saturday morning we ran up to Trever's work for a little bit and then headed to Kankakee. You may remember that a few weeks ago our car had some pretty serious hail damage. After some shopping around we decided that we would rather spend a little extra money and upgrade instead of getting our car repaired. Saturday afternoon we came home with this.


A 2010 Chevy Equinox. It's still full of baby stuff, but it's a little bit bigger than our car and we are really enjoying the way it drives and we're still getting pretty good gas mileage.

  • From Kankakee we headed to visit with Aunt Kyla, Uncle Ron and Cousin Maddison. As soon as Claire and Maddi saw each other they held hands! They're going to be the best of friends!

  • Claire looks a little goofy in this picture but she had a big ol' gummy grin on her face! We didn't get a lot of good pictures since the girls seemed to be sleeping or cranky at opposite times.

  • After dinner Trever headed to Piper City for Gospel Night in the park and Claire and I stayed to play with Maddison.
  • Sunday morning we went to 2 church services. Trever put his Lay Speaking skills to use and preached in Onarga and Piper City.
  • After church we had another photo op at home. Trever has become quite the gardener. He found a zuchini bigger than Claire in the garden.

  • After lunch and naps, we headed to the Guth's for Claire's meet and greet. We got to introduce her to many friends of our family and got some very nice gifts. Unfortunately I did not take a single picture to document the night.

This is my last full week at home before I go back to work. I'm starting to dread sending Claire to the babysitter but I'm sure she will do great for Miss Mary. We've spent some time picking up around the house the last couple of days but have been sure to squeeze in a nap. Tomorrow, Grandma Marge is going to go to Kankakee with us to do a little shopping while the car gets remote start put on it. Then we are looking forward to relaxing the rest of the week. The only thing on the schedule the rest of the week is my appointment with Dr. H on Friday and probably a visit to Aunt Ria!
