Fantastic Weekend

I can't believe I was so busy at work yesterday that today is the first chance I get to blog. Oh well I guess I have to earn my paycheck sooner or later.

I had the most fantastic weekend I have had in ages. Actually it started out on Thursday with dinner with my whole family. Tom and Patti, Missy and Terry and, of course, our beautiful Serif. We had a great visit and a good meal at Tres Amigos.

Then Friday was Emily's birthday. I got off early and went with Missy to pick up Serif from daycare. Then on we went to Dave and Busters. We had a nice dinner. Actually, for a change Missy and I were smart and shared a sandwich so we could each have dessert without being too stuffed. It was perfect. I got to play some games and then hold a sleeping baby. I loved holding her while she was deep in sleep. I could feel her breath on my neck. I could hug her all I wanted because she didn't care. She is such a good baby. We gave all our tickets to Emily so she could buy lots of things for herself. She seemed to have a good birthday. I hope so because I had a great time.

Then Saturday was my special day. Missy and Terry asked me to come over early and watch the bug while they got dressed for their big night out. It was my pleasure. I couldn't get there fast enough. Serif and I had a wonderful evening. We stuck tongues out at each other. We talked a lot. We sucked on each others fingers and we both sucked on her toes. She was in such a good mood and smiled the whole time. In fact the only fussing I got was when she was sleepy. She cuddled right into my shoulder and went sound asleep. That would have been great but it was only 8:15. I guess I wore her out. So I spent the rest of the evening finishing up the baby blanket that I knitted her. It didn't turn out too bad. I don't think the mistakes are that noticeable. I even got cheesecake for baby sitting. Guess they don't know that I'd do it for nothing.

Then Sunday morning Missy, Terry, Serif and I all went to church. It was great. I do admit that I missed some of the service because a sweet baby Serif was talking so much. She liked church too. She got her first blessing. She had fallen asleep on her daddy's shoulder but when the priest said her name she opened her eyes and watched him while he blessed her. She was so good.

Then we all went back to Missy's and Serif, Missy and I took a nap. Tom and Patti came over but I'm afraid we weren't much fun. We hadn't quite woken up and Serif was a little fussy. We had hoped that they would come to Rebecca's in the evening but they didn't make it. I had a good time at Rebecca's. It was great to see everyone. I hadn't seen them in ages. Everyone of Missy's friends are so nice about including me when they do things. I really do appreciate it. The food was good and we caught up on everyone's lives. The only bad thing was that James and Erin weren't there. I do miss them. They are very special people to me and I feel like they are part of our family.

So as you can see it was a busy and wonderful weekend. I didn't get any housework done but I did get to spend time with my family. That's always something I look forward to.
