Jam Packed Weekend!

What a super busy, fun and productive weekend! It started with a fun Friday night in the city. I looked forward to it all day on Friday. I left work at 4, hustled home to change and freshen up before we picked up Cath at 5. We met Mark, Susan and Don at the restaurant, Q, right on time at 6. I had such a fun time! Great conversations and lots of laughs...and the food was awesome, too.
We had Matt and his parents, Bob and Mary, over for homemade pizza on Saturday night. Another exceptional night. We ended up having an "around the world" kind of meal. We had sushi and hummus for appetizers, guacamole salad and pizza for dinner, Texas sheet cake for dessert and Spanish wine to drink! We are so lucky and blessed that our families are going to be so connected through Matt and Sally. They are awesome people. No picture from that night here because Matt and Bob don't like to have their pictures taken. Though I did sneak one or two shots!
This afternoon, we had Abbie and Nina for a few hours while Arne and Beth went to a 70th birthday party for one of Beth's relatives. We headed out to Susie's for a visit. The girls have adjusted pretty well to the fact that Marmar isn't there anymore. They wanted to see her room. When Marmar was alive, they loved looking through the things on her dresser because she would always let them keep something. And she would paint their nails with whatever polish was there at the time. Abbie and Nina wanted to paint their own toenails today and of course we said yes (sorry, Beth!😳). They loved spending time with Susie and Bella. They wanted to love on Bella the whole time! Fun family time!
Tonight I have been putting the finishing touch on the materials for a class I am facilitating at work. It's called "iPads: Apps and Applications". Tomorrow is the first session of the 7 hour and half classes.
Tomorrow is also my first day with my students! Can't wait. I do love the beginning of the school year. It never gets old.
