Shopping Weekend

We had a good time doing various things this weekend. Saturday we did some shopping, and then that evening our friends Mike, Sara, and Lily came over for our favorite meal - brisket of course! We had been trying to have them over since May, so glad we finally got a good weekend for both of us. The girls had fun playing and even rode together on the lion...if only they knew how to move their feet to make him go it would have really been easy! :) Decided he needs a sidecar. :)

Brad and Lorelei enjoying a home made smoothie that tastes almost as good as the ones from the smoothie place next door, minus the sugar!

We found a great bag of frozen fruit that makes a smoothie just like the one we love from Tropical Smoothie, so they enjoyed this for breakfast this morning. Lorelei is not very patient to let Brad take a few sips, so decided to get two straws.
This morning started out WONDERFUL as we got to sleep in until 8 am! Lorelei did go down late from our visit, but she usually doesn't make up the time right away the next morning. Needless to say we were thrilled...not sure the last time we slept that late. :)
Then church was another doosy as we headed to the nursery quickly after starting, and then when I left her and she realized I was gone was very upset so had to go back with her. She did play a few minutes before she realized it though. Guess we'll keep trying. We did go back for communion which was nice since I have missed it most of the time lately.
Then that afternoon I was able to go shopping while Lorelei took her nap! Sara came as well, so then its even more fun! Got the important winter hat and also loved shopping at the girly stores for our niece, Hannah. Saw a glimpse of whats to come in about 7 years for us.

More to come tomorrow on some of the words Lorelei is trying to say. Trying to get some on video but she does not like to perform for us. :) She is also loving to give us kisses now which is SO cute. I'll try to get that too!
