A weekend at home

It seemed a bit odd, but we were actually home this weekend. The past 3 weekends, we were out of town, so it was nice to finally stay home and catch up on things.

Of course, just because we didn't pack up and head out of town for the weekend doesn't mean that we hung around home much, either. We took advantage of being home and caught up with some of our friends. Friday night, we went to Brian and Sara's house for a cookout with them and our friends Eric, Jill, and Claire. As is typical, we enjoyed a nice feast - steaks, potatoes, and asparagus on the grill, pasta and tomato salads, homemade salsa, and chocolate/marshmallow bars for dessert. It was all so good!

Saturday night, we went up to Rockford to spend the evening with our friends Tyler and Jennifer. Again, we had a great meal - grilled pork tenderloin! Great minds think alike when it comes to food. Both Jennifer and I also had potatoes (salad and grilled) and bread (french and pull-apart). You can never have too much starch :-) Unfortunately, we had to leave a bit early b/c Hannah had a meltdown at bedtime and would not fall to sleep. Thankfully, the car ride home did the trick, and she was peacefully sleeping by the time we got home.

After church this morning, we just spent the day relaxing at home. Well, I relaxed. Jason worked on a paper for school. It was nice just to lay low for a change. Now, for the week ahead...
