I feel like I’m overdue for an update on what our family has been doing lately! Last week we were dealing with teething woes (see below), and so I’m just now catching back up on lost sleep!
The weather has been glorious the past few days (after 3+ days of rain early last week), so we’ve enjoyed some really nice family walks! The girls love our quiet neighborhood where they can run free.
Jude was teething last week, so there were several nights when Tad and I were taking turns snuggling him and trying to get him back to sleep. After two very bad nights, he finally started sleeping better! He has two new teeth on the top that he is quite proud of.
Saturday is my grocery shopping day now, since Tad is off and it means I don’t have to shop alone. I usually go to Aldi, but the nearest one is 35 minutes away, so we try and make a day of it! There is a Hobby Lobby there too, so we swung by and grabbed a few things for some craft projects.
Aldi has really expanded their organic line lately! I was able to buy grape tomatoes, Gala apples, quinoa, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, diced tomatoes, fire roasted diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and animal cookies (special treat) – all organic and at great prices! I also love to buy their organic spinach and other salad greens. Aldi is such a blessing to our family!
Tad took us all out to lunch on Saturday, which was so sweet. We went to a new (to us) local restaurant and enjoyed delicious sandwiches!
CC wasn’t feeling great on Saturday (cold?), but she’s totally better today.
On Sunday we had a wonderful worship service at church. (Have I mentioned lately how much we love our church? It’s a BIG blessing to have our souls fed every week.) Two people were baptized after the 11:00 service, and then there was a fun food truck rodeo for the whole church.
The girls played in (or near, as in Vera’s case) the bouncy house for a little bit. Two of the food trucks experienced delays on the way (flat tire and stuck in traffic), so we didn’t end up staying at the rodeo. The one truck that did make it had a pretty long line, and our kids were getting pretty hangry! (You know, so hungry you’re angry = hangry.)
But we had a nice time for the few minutes we stayed!
I’m just thrilled to finally get to wear chambray, jeans, and scarves again! Yay, fall!
Oh, I also just discovered some beautiful new printables from Ann Voskamp. You just have to go here and sign up (free), then you can access beautiful designs like these!
Lovely reminders of truth!
How was your weekend?
