Wonderfully normal

We had a nice weekend. We spent saturday doing some cleaning and laundry. In the afternoon Josiah got a haircut, then we took him to the park to play. The kids all watched the movie "The Wild" that night. It was a really nice day... I guess the first really normal day we have had as a family in a very long time. It was wonderfully normal and marvelously relaxing. We did a lot more realxing on Sunday. We went to church for the first time in about a month and a half and stayed afterwards for the Annual Turkey dinner, which was fabulous. Then came home and while Josiah took a nap, us adults watched a movie. After that we did a lot more relaxing and goofing off, then had some dinner. After the kids went to bed last night, hubby and I watched another movie. It was another really nice day. I guess our weekend is just best described as wonderfully normal! You have no idea how great normal sounds till you've had our last month and a half. :-)

My sister and I are starting to plan thanksgiving dinner this week. It will just be our 2 families for that holiday this year. We did have much different plans for that weekend, like a wonderful week long trip to Oregon, but with my health that way it is, that was cut out, and we are all staying home this year. My folks are coming for christmas and that will be a blessing to see some family for that holiday.

I will leave you all with a family picture taken yesterday before church. This may be one of the last pictures you see of the 3 of us, in the coming months our family will look a bit bigger. :-)
Blessings to all!
