Teammates Weekend

Went to Teammates this weekend. It was such a refreshing weekend away sans kids. Lots of laughs with friends, Starbucks, sleeping in, dinner with the Akiyamas. Sun and Snow. Good times! Thanks mom and dad for taking care of everything at home!!

Family Pictures

Sunday was a crazy day! We woke up around 7, had breakfast and then puttered around for a little bit. We didn't go to church because I needed Gabe to take a good nap before pictures at 1.
While Gabe napped I showered, gave Calie a bath, got ready, packed some things for Bryan, did some laundry, took everything out to the truck, got Gabe up around 11:30, got him ready and left for the church to pick up Bryan.
He had just gotten back from the retreat at noon. He hurried into the church, shaved and changed his clothes and we were out of there. We drove to Cathedral Park in St. Johns. What a beautiful park. And what a beautiful day. It was really windy that day but it wasn't so bad when we were doing the pictures…just a few times the wind picked up and my hair went crazy a little. We had so much fun with Mike and Becky. Gabe was totally infacuated with Mike. He is bald and I think that Gabe just thinks that's interesting. He was looking at him the way he does uncle Nate. Maybe because Grandpa's bald? It's funny.
They had gotten there early to scope the place out so that they knew where to go and what pictures they wanted to take.
Gabe did pretty good, Calie not so much, but I suspected that. Gabe was a little ham. Especially when we let him run around this picinic table and they took pictures of just him. He was laughing and smiling and posing. It was hilarious.
Here are a few of the ones Becky put up on her blog:
