FAMILY TIME - YIPPEE !!!

Family Togetherness - What a blast!

Well I don't have any pictures, drats! I'm so lax when it comes to taking pictures. I have a thousand of them taken mentally! We had a total of '21 people' in our home last week and it was sooo enjoyable! They were here for our son David's wedding. He and Angela were married last Friday 08-08-08! Cool date!

We had Chris and Michell's family, Bob and Julie's family and Jordan and Lisa's families all here. We also had Doug, who is home until his wedding in two weeks. We had his fiancee Ashley here too. She has since left to get ready for her wedding!

It was sooo wonderful having a houseful of family! I think they all had a good time. It was busy from the get go! We had to go to a wedding rehearsal and then we hosted a barbecue dinner at a very cute place we booked that you can have weddings, etc. there. Then the next day was the outdoor wedding and it was so lovely. When I saw my son David walking up to the arch with the minister, the happy tears started flowing. Then his gorgeous wife came up and she was gorgeous! Afterwards was the reception inside and all the hoopla!

Then on Saturday dad made arrangements for everyone to go to a classic car museum for a private tour. Dad is a member of the LeMay Car Museum. Believe me there was plenty of 'eye candy' for the adults with all those wonderful cars to look at! Of course they got to see dad's red 55 Chevrolet in our garage. That was a taste of what was to come at the museum!

Sunday was a sad day as everyone left! But something happened to take my mind off of being melancholy! Can you believe that we got a phone call to see our house the same day! Talk about putting it in overdrive! Dad and I had the place spotless in 3 hours, showcase special! The saddest part of cleaning for me was washing off the sweet little fingerprints and kissy mouth on the windows. Sniff, sob! :o( I called it my 'ox in the mire' sabbath. I hope the Lord will forgive us for working on Sunday! How did the viewing go? Well the couple had a 3 year old and the backyard is not ideal for little ones. It is terraced and I guess the mom was worried about safety. We do have a lovely home and yard. Oh well.

Now we are busily getting ready for Doug's wedding in Georgia! How exciting! I'll write about that after we get back! It's been so fun getting ready for these two weddings!

That's too bad that they felt like the yard wasn't ideal. We should have shown them video of Matilda surviving through all of her exploits back there, I don't know if that would look comforting or not:)
