Well, my parents just left a little while ago to head home to MI so I am finally getting some time to sit down and post. We really had a great weekend! They got here Wednesday evening and we got some dinner and just hung out. Thursday, we got up and started the turkey and then decided to head to the beach while we waited for it to cook. It was really nice here that day, about 70 and really sunny. We were surprised by how many people were on the beach!

After our trip to the beach we came home and my mom and I finished our cooking. We had a huge spread for just the four of us, and are still eating leftovers. Some friends came over later that night for pie and desert and again, we had a great time.

Joe set the table and was quite proud of himself!

Friday we had another full day. My dad helped Joe and I (ok, mostly Joe) paint the baby's room...again! It was a bummer to do it after having done it in the old house but oh well. It's done and looks great. Joe, and dad did a lot of "guy projects" this weekend, which I think they both like. Today, they put the crib together again, and moved all the furniture in place, hung some curtain rods in the living room, and some other random things that needed to be done. There were a lot of trips to Home Depot, but I think they both had a great time. Mom and I just kind of hung out with the dog and did our thing. My mom loves Bruiser and was really happy to get to hang with him. However, he had one too many table scraps this weekend and spent a good portion of yesterday throwing up all over the house...not fun! He's on the mend and now that my parents are gone he keeps walking around looking for grandma. It's good to know that they'll be back in just a few weeks for Christmas. We love living here but it's time like this that we wish is just wasn't soooo far away! We hope everyone had a great weekend like we did.
