What's New!

We had a good weekend with getting things accomplished and time with family and friends.  Friday night was low-key with Kerri and Mike over for pizza and wine from our favorite local pizzeria.  Delish as always!

Saturday was breakfast with my folks and Grammy who is in town from Dallas.  She is still quite spry at almost 95 and loves observing all the things Zach is up to!  And Saturday evening was a night out to dinner with friends, just us adults!  It has been a long time since we have done that and it was fun.  Home before midnight to relieve the babysitters too! :)

And then Sunday was church, errands, and broadway!!  Matt and I are sad and excited a the same time to be looking for a new church home.  We have been faithful members of FUMC for 6+ years, but now that we moved, are finding the 40 minute commute on Sundays to  be tough.  With Zach's schedule it is hard to travel that much and we are lucky to have FUMC televised so we often end up watching from home.  Which watching in your PJ's with coffee can be nice but cannot replace the warmth you feel of worshipping together with your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!  SO...we are embarking on finding a more local church. We tried Lakewood Methodist and it was nice.  Lots of young families and friendly folks.  The usual preacher was in Africa on missions work so we will go back to see him another Sunday.  Zach did great in their nursery too which was a comforting feeling!   And the commute was only 5 minutes which works much better for a sleepy head!  We will try out another nearby church next Sunday and see where He leads us!

And then Sunday night was Mom and I's Broadway night.  "Spring Awakening" was the show.  It was good and interesting and a little awkward watching with my mom!!  Very RENT-esque with the pop music and minimalistic sets but quite adult too.  Anyone else seen this show?  What did you think?  Am I just getting more conservative in my older years?

So that was a long drawn out version of our weekend.  Zach was great as always.  Active as always and wore us out!  His 11 month birthday was yesterday so need to snap a pic with the hippo chair.  Tomorrow is his day of pre-op appointments but at least I have the day off work!
