Great Weekend

I had a fabulous weekend and most of it involved the beautiful weather we experienced. Friday night despite threats of rain, we ventured out to an outdoor movie, Back to the Future. The music, games, and movies took me back in time. We meet up with Megan and Jeremy and shared cookies, drinks, and converstation. Megan and I both brought our knitting projects. She's a talented knitter working on a sweater and myself a scarf. I know it's not much, but its been years since I've picked up my knitting needles, but Megan is showing me how to make booties.

Saturday I headed to the pool with no rain in site. Our incredible weather inspired us to grill out for dinner. In the 3 years, we've lived here, we never used the outdoor grills. It's too much work for 2 people. We called up our friends Matt and Sue and convinced them to join us. We got a late start and finished eating in the dark. While the kaboobs were still cooking Sue and I ran over to Teaters and picked up stuff to make smores. Yummy. Here's my pictures as I was testing out the manual settings of our camera.

Summer Hobbies

Over the weekend, David and I rearranged our great room. In doing so, I came across my knitting basket. It's been years since I've picked up my needles, but when I did everything came back. I found a scarf I started and decided to finish it and give it to my niece. I don't know if she'll ever my able to wear it, but it's cute. I also made her a hat. I'd really like to make mittens, but that might be beyond my knitting capabilities.
On another note, my niece Makenzie comes home tomorrow and she's finally wearing clothes. YAY!

Update on Baby Makenzie

Makenzie is 4 days old today. Tomorrow she goes in for open heart surgery to correct the transposition of the greater artery. It's not uncommon and the success rates are over 90%. Please continue to pray for her and my brother and sister in law.

She is so cute. When I first saw her I fell in love. I can't imagine what it's like to be a mom. I love her for absolutely no reason. I could sit and watch her for hours. She sneezed and hiccuped yesterday. It melted my heart. Here's a picture of the proud parents and her aunts.
