the Saturday that was

Last Saturday after Matthew spent the first part of the day fighting a headache, we drove up to Matthew's aunt and uncle's (Lois and Joe) house to visit them as well as two of Matthew's cousins (Mekay and Katie). We had a really nice visit as we always do.

We ate, took a walk around the property, played with the dogs (4 German Shepherds and Max), and visited.

Here's a picture of the kiddos eating apples they picked outside. Aren't they cuties?












And here's a picture of the dogs waiting for a treat. Don't they look well-behaved?
















Katie and her husband Jeff are about to leave for Uganda for about 6 months. They took this picture of us for the picture wall Katie wants to have where they will live. That way she will be surrounded by friends and family in this new place. I thought that was a great idea! Thank you to Jeff for taking our picture.

After dinner and the walk, we sat around in the living room and visited. Matthew and I were telling everyone how much Max likes to cuddle. So Jeff got off the couch, laid on the floor, and said, "Our dog doesn't like to cuddle. I'm ready for some of this Max love." So Max cuddled with him, I thought it was very cute and funny. Hopefully, Jeff will forgive me for putting that on my blog.

We enjoyed our time with everyone. While we don't live terribly far apart, we don't get together often enough. We are always thankful to spend time with family.
