A Weekend of Friends

This past weekend we were able to go down to school for homecoming weekend. It was wonderful to see friends and fellow former PHCers. We had fun showing Emmie off at work on Friday and I had fun cheering while watching the Alumni vs. Students football game on Saturday. Alumni won 18-12 (no goal posts for extra point attempts). Go Kneppers!! Emmie stayed home with her daddy on Saturday because I had a bridal shower to go to in the evening down by school. The shower was filled with laughter and joking and more chances for to catch up with friends whom I haven't seen in a couple of months. Oh, and Jeanette makes a mean pan of lasagna. So if you ever have the chance to eat some, I would highly recommend it. =o)

Sunday we went over to Chad's grandmother's house to watch the Redskin's football game with her to help celebrate her 86th birthday that was yesterday. I hope I'm that alert to football when I'm her age. She knows the numbers of the big players. Like when Clinton Portis made a big run she said, "That was number 26, wasn't it?" Too fun.

Monday brought more company as one of my bride's maids who was in town for the week stopped by to meet Emmie. We had a good time catching up and doing some shopping for a baby present for Emmie. Unfortunately, my daughter does not have a mother who will spend $15 on a pair of baby blue jeans so we had to forgo the cute little jeans with flowers on them. But we found a couple of cute outfits and an even cuter jumper outfit for chuch so all was well. I am very thankful for garage sales and baby fairs. I'm able to let other people buy the cute, expensive stuff and then have their child wear it twice before they outgrow it and then I can buy it from them for 10 percent, if not less, of what they paid for it. =o) Life is good.
I'll try and get some pictures up in the next post.
