"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun." Ecclesiastes 8:15

Weekend Update

..with Kim Bauer!  Ha! One of my favorite skits on SNL.  Especially when they do Stephan, "Really!?!" and Drunk Uncle.  Oh and the couple that make up the songs as they go along.  We DVR SNL, which I think makes it much more enjoyable because then you can fast forward through the not-so-great skits.  It also makes me think of watching SNL to find skits for the variety show for Singers in High School.  Such good memories.

ANYWAY......

We went up to KC this weekend to spend some time with Kodi, since she isn't coming home for Thanksgiving.  I was able to go see my friend Lauren from Nursing School, and meet her precious baby girl.  It was so nice to catch up and swap nursing details of our stories that nobody else is interested in! lol.  We have already decided that Lyle and Nora will be married some day, so it was probably a good thing that they met! :) 
We made them hold hands! hahah
 In the afternoon we went to a cousin's birthday party for a bit, then the girls went to the Holiday Boutique.  So fun!  It would have been a very dangerous place if Lyle was a girl...so many cute bows and outfits!  We found plenty of time to eat and Lyle got some good play time with his Aunt.  We went swimming in the hotel pool Saturday night.  Lyle loved it!

We went home Sunday afternoon, but I had Monday off of work, so it was nice to have a catch up day.  Lyle and I went for a walk in the afternoon.  It was wonderful!  So thankful for time with family!

Wedding Weekend

We had a great trip out to South Carolina to see my older brother, Mike get married!  Lyle did great on the plane ride.  I was worried that his ears would bother him, but with a combination of nursing and having his pacifier, he did really well! 

It was great to have all of the family together.  We hadn't seen my siblings who live farther away since Lyle was about 6 weeks old, so it was definitely time!  Other than getting together for the rehearsal and wedding festivities we mostly hung out at the hotel together.   Lyle made friends wherever we went...he just smiled at everybody!  He was really excited when we were taking family pictures that he had a whole group of girls yelling his name and smiling at him!
