Memorial Day

Okay, I am a week late with a Memorial Day post, but I am about a week late with all of life these days, so blogging shouldn't be spared the distinction as well.

Jeromy invited 28 people over our house (2 weeks after we moved in!) for a Memorial Day BBQ. It was a blessing in disguise, as it forced us to work all weekend to get completely settled in. 2 of the families that were planning to attend weren't able to come at the last minute, so the crowd was much more manageable (although we had a TON of leftovers). We had a wonderful day with beautiful weather. Thunderstorms were forecasted, but it was sunny and 90 degrees. The children played in the sprinklers, and the older children joined us in very interesting conversation. It was a perfect 1st BBQ in our new house.
