the monday update

this past weekend, after we visited a congregation on saturday for chris to give the talk, we went to waco. this was "uncle chris'" first time to see sadie and he thought she was cute! he held her for a long time (and looked pretty comfortable doing it--even though it's been a long time since he held a baby that little before!), then he went to spend the rest of the weekend with his mom and dad while mckinlee and i stayed to visit with sadie.


since mckinlee was sick when sadie was born, this was her first time to hold her and she was so excited!
she didn't want sadie out of her sight! this was sadie's first time on her activity mat--she just kept looking all around.
look how pretty danielle is! (a shower and make-up can make you feel like a new woman, right danielle?)
here we all are before we left to come home.
mckinlee could have sat on that couch holding sadie all day long!
today was spent buying groceries and running a few errands--including going to one of my "happy places"...the library.
these were the books i had on hold: 2 phyllis whitney books i had never read, 2 scrapbooking mysteries (never read this series, but how can you go wrong with scrapbooking and a mystery?), organizational expert, peter walsh's guide on clearing mental clutter (we'll see how that goes!) and a flylady book on organizing, establishing routines and cleaning. guess i'll be busy for the next few weeks!
these are two i bought. at our library they have a little section where people donate books and you can buy them really cheap. i don't if these will be good or not, but for $3 i couldn't pass them up (like i need another book!)
we are headed to the 6th grade center where mckinlee gets to go to the orchestra department and check out instruments if she decides to do orchestra next year! will try to take some pictures there.
happy monday to you all!
