This past week...



If, by chance, you read the blog in the approximate two hours that I had a very similar post, please continue reading as this is the new and improved post!!

While the past week included no real momentous occasions, it was just one of those weeks that when reflected upon deserves the ranking of a "good week".  To begin with, we started a new fun family activity - Family Movie night!!  On Wednesday night, all four of us were on the couch, the kids in their pjs, watching a Dora the Explorer movie as we ate popcorn!  It was a blast!  The kids especially loved it!  Since it was so much fun, we did it again the next night!  This time we threw in a Barbie movie that both kids loved.  Yes, Shane too enjoys Barbie!  We fully blame it on Toy Story!!


In addition to good family time, Steve and I were able to get out on Friday night for a date night!  We went to a local high school football game between two traditionally very strong football programs - St. Bonaventure vs. Oaks Christian.  Alumni from each football program can be seen playing on both Saturdays and Sundays!  This year Oaks features Trevor Gretzky at quarterback, son of hockey great Wayne Gretzky, passing to Trey Smith at wide receiver, son of actor Will Smith!  It was a fun game and a great date night for Steve and I, especially since we could walk to the game!

And finally, some stress in my life was reduced by the start of my MOPS group this past Wednesday.  I love leading the group, but I am always a big relieved when the first meeting is over as it means that all the hundreds of details that need to be in place prior to that first meeting are complete!  It was a fun morning, and the new moms in our group felt welcome, which is always a major goal of mine!


So, a good week...it was capped off with another Michigan football victory (and some great games on Saturday!!), and few tech problems solved, and some overall very nice weather!  Here's a picture of Shane-man before bed on Saturday night...
