Weekend Trip

This past weekend, Chris, Theodore, and I went to Salina on Friday night. Chris went on to Kansas City and Theodore and I had a wonderful weekend. Saturday we hung out with Auntie Karen and Uncle Erik and Fur-Cousin Bailey Dog and Fur-Cousin Essie-Cat. Watching Theodore and Bailey play together was funny. As Chris describes it: They are both uncontrolled creatures. Theodore is trying to walk and then falls over. Bailey tries to move and figure out where Theodore's going, then ends up walking into him. They both end up wondering what the other is going to do! Needless to say, they both had a good time. Theodore seems to like animals. He even found Essie sitting patiently on a chair....and Theodore decided to go pet the kitty. Well, he got one or two good, soft pets in before Essie decided she was done with that! It was pretty cute.

We also went to the swimming pool. Theodore seems to enjoy that quite a bit. He loves splashing and playing with fountains of water. He doesn't seem to be afraid of getting his face wet either, so that's good! We all had a wonderful time.

Saturday night Karen watched the baby while I went to church. It was nice to have some me and God time without wondering what Theodore was getting into. THANKS AUNTIE KAREN!!!

After church, we had a quick dinner and then departed for Wakefield, KS where our friends from college, Cristina, Josh and their two kiddo's live. It was WAY past Theodore's bedtime by the time we arrived, but luckily he settled in quickly and fell asleep for the night. Cristina and I enjoyed chatting and even got a little laundry folding done. We both agreed that it's nice to have wonderful hubby's who are better at putting clothes away than we are! They also do well at matching the socks....and Chris is especially good at making sure the things get put on hangers....which is nice because by the time I get all the shirts folded, he has everything hung up. What a team. Speaking of which...I think I have at least 3 baskets of folded laundry to attend to at home....hmm....Chris....you will be home soon, right?!

Today is a little slow for me. I am not doing much flying, but that's OK. I am hoping to be "done" working today by lunchtime because the heat is...well...hot. Somehow wearing a flame retardant flight suit gets warm....it doesn't breathe much, but we sure look cool.

Last night I got to see some good friends of ours who live in Indiana! Theodore and I had a wonderful time seeing them, and hope they get to come back soon.

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to a visit from a college friend who will be in town for a few hours. We might even get to fo for a fun flight! Can't wait!

So...whatever each of you are doing today...stay cool and enjoy!
