Not so restful Sunday...

It started out as the most wonderful Sunday a person could ask for, filled with church and wonderful people. As we do every Sunday we got up and went to church, but actually made it there early for once! Had some great fellowship while we nibbled on some tasty treats, and enjoyed a great time of praise, worship, and learning from Gods Word. After church we went out with C.G. and his girlfriend (CG is one of M&T G's boys, the family is very special to us) and enjoyed getting to know them a little more. The waitress then let us know we were free to leave whenever because we didn't have a check, a great guy from our church had taken care of our bill!

Enter funny story: After getting the kids buckled into the suburban, I had them say "thank you Lord for dinner." Whenever we go out to eat we usually thank Daddy, but since we didn't pay this time, it seemed only fitting to thank the Lord. Well, AG did a great job and was more than happy to jump in and say, "Thank you Lord for dinner." EE needed a little help in that direction though, so I walked him through it word by word. After he was finished AG apparently became the voice of God and said, "You're welcome EE." Of course I am only kidding about the voice of God part, but it just was kind of comical to us!

After this we went over to E&Ms for a hand of pinochle, in which the girls WON!

We then came home for a nice relaxing rest of the afternoon/evening. J decided he was going to help CG at his house just a few blocks away and I put the kids down for a nap to go sit outside write thank yous and read a book on our deck since it was almost 80*F! The relaxing and restful time soon came to an end, when the neighbors kids starting shooting their little soft air pellets guns and came within 2 inches of my left eye! We have had trouble with this before, so I called J who then called the cops! It took about two hours or more before this was all settled and we had to give written accounts of what happened to the cops. More about these neighbors in a couple of days!

M&T G stopped by to see if they needed to watch the kids while we dealt with the above situation, and since I was staying away from them we were good. However, it was nice to have someone to talk to while J was dealing with the situation! M&T G invited us over for tacos with their kids after things calmed down and we had a very enjoyable time (as usual) with them. J even got to sit in the hot tub!

What a blessing M&T G have been to us, especially in the last few months. I just want to close this post by saying that they have been a huge source of encouragement to us, and that honestly have helped us through several situations we really didn't know how to get through on our own. Such godly people that love to serve Christ through loving others! We feel very blessed to be able to consider them friends!
