Sunday Shuffling

I slept in this morning as we were not going to our church, but Alyssa and Dan's to see and hear Natalie singing in the children's choir, so I was able to sleep in until after 0800. I even made myself some oatmeal for breakfast. We left for Alyssa's church about 1030, got there about 1045, and then drove around the building until we were able to find a parking spot.

We got into the sanctuary about the same time that Alyssa did and then saved the seats as Alyssa took the children to their classes. She and Dan arrived back a little before the service was about to start. Dan's Mom arrived shortly after that and we had just enough seats for everyone.

They had a really good drama to start the service off, then the message and finally the children's choir. They did a really nice job, Natalie keep looking at herself on the big screen behind her so it was a little hard for Alyssa, Dan or Kathleen to get a good shot of her face straight on.

After the service, we headed home to let Reggie out and also to change clothes. We were getting together at Aaron and Tami's house at 1600 to celebrate Aaron's birthday and then on to Chang's Mongolian grill for a family dinner.

Tami's two brother's and sister-in-law were there as were Tami's parents. Alyssa, Dan, and their children came about twenty minutes after we got there and we had already gone and gotten our food cooked.

After I finished eating, I sat with Alyssa and Dan to help with the children as did Kathleen. When they went back for seconds, I stayed there with the children. Then I went back there to keep Dan company after Alyssa's food was cooked.

After Tami's family left three of the grandchildren wanted to sit on my lap, it would not have been too bad it they just wanted to sit there, but they also wanted to jump around and play. After a while the children were getting a little tired and so we all left and then talked in the parking lot and talked for fifteen or twenty minutes.

We finally got home about 1930; I took the final load of clothes out of the dryer and took them upstairs to fold. Kathleen came upstairs as well and changed her clothes, after finishing the clothes and putting them away, I came downstairs and here I sit.

I think that is about all for tonight, so I will just say good night!
