Visiting our old church today was a bit bittersweet. We are moving our membership to our new church in Belleville, but not because we don't love New Harmony. I'm pretty sure everyone understands, but it's still a little sad to know that we're no longer "official" members of this church.
Today was apparently polka dot day for all the little girls: Charli and Sydni had on the exact same dress, while Ellie and little Sadie were both sporting different colored dots. Everyone had bubbles, which is a huge hit with little ones.
What I know I'm going to miss the most about New Harmony are the people that attend. Our pastor there [Pastor Jeff & Katrina] have been nothing but open and helpful to us, and we wouldn't have been able to make a lot of our hardest decisions the right way without their guidance.
Not to mention, the kids always have a good time together, and it was our pleasure to have Sydni spend the wedding night on Friday overnight with them.

After church, we made a stop at KP's mom [&Pete's] new house out in Batavia. The place is enormous, and absolutely beautiful. KP hasn't seen it yet, but she's in for a nice little treat. From there, we swung by Goldstar and headed back to Joe's mom's to spend some good quality time with her before we hit the road back to IL.
Now here we are, back in the
Land of Lincoln, unwilling but ready nonetheless to head back to our jobs tomorrow.
I wouldn't trade this weekend for the world.
