All in One Day

My sister Sue, her husband, and three daughters visited on Saturday. We had a very busy day. After lunch, we walked over to Calvin. Matt showed everyone around the seminary, then we walked through the campus back home. We had to stop at the "cheese" for some fun photos. (Mom, there's Abbey with her new haircut!) It was fun to walk around and see how much the campus has changed.

Then we went to a local apple orchard to taste some apple treats and apple cider (which Anna loved). We got to see them make the cider and then bought some to take home. After a quick trip to Costco we headed home for some brats before it was time for bed. We had a really nice visit. It's nice to live so close to family that we can get together easily and often. Matt didn't get much school work done, though, so the rest of the weekend was pretty busy for him.

We tried a different church again this week. It's getting to be quite a challenge with Anna on Sunday mornings. She fusses, sometimes cries, and doesn't want to go-------with us after church. She has loved every church nursery she's been in and it has been a struggle every week so far to get her OUT of the nursery. She is not shy or scared to go to nursery, and is never in a hurry to leave. This week she was the last kid out and only came because the nursery attendant picked her up and handed her over the counter to me. It's not easy finding a new church, but it's nice that one thing we don't have to worry about is bringing Anna to nursery. She'll adjust easily wherever we end up!
