We started off the last full day of my parents' visit by taking them to visit Towerview for church. I did my part with the praise band during the service, which was an awesome experience that I look forward to doing again.
<< Check it out, we even got a photo in which
everyone (*ahem, Miss Sydni) is smiling. Go us. :)
After church, we came back to the house and did a picnic lunch by the pool. Dad and Joe went swimming with Sydni beforehand, and we all joined afterwards. It's funny to think that I have a daughter that is learning to jump, run,
swim.
Pretty sweet :) It was definitely a good day of fun in the sun.
Until.....
Miss Sydni did
such a good job of heeding our warnings to
walk, not run by the pool. We spent nearly half the day playing without mishap, and it wasn't until we were preparing to leave that we had a little accident. The poor thing turned around and tripped on the sidewalk and face-planted on the concrete. That resulted in a scraped lip, nose, and a tiny ding on the forehead. As parents, we of course over-reacted, but within three minutes, she was having just as much fun with the
"cold" icepack as I think it's possible to have.
To cheer us all up, Mom and I hit the kitchen to create some stir-fry for dinner. I have to say, it wasn't half bad. In fact, it was delicious.
[[ I love color in my food! ]]
Tomorrow, it's back to work for Joe & me, and it's back to Ohio for my parents.
What an incredible weekend!
