Columbus Day Weekend

I love 4 day weekends! Thank you Christopher Columbus. :)

We were super busy this weekend! Starting Thursday night after Josh got home from work, our weekend looked like this:

We watched our very first Husker game of the season on TV. It was phenomenal. We are now extra excited for this Saturday's game against Texas! :) Friday we did some work around the house and then in the evening had our friends Paul and Nicole over. They are in our small group, and have 2 girls, a 4 yr old and a 10 week old. Ava and Renae had a great time playing together. You might be thinking...that's the tallest 4 year old I've ever seen, and you would be correct. :) She's really cute.




Paul and Josh went to pick up some pizza, and on their way out the door, they spotted THIS:



WOW. Talk about sick. But we were all entertained for a significant portion of time. So I guess there's that.

Saturday morning bright and early, Josh and some more friends from our small group ran in a race. Heath, Claire, and Kenny ran the 5K at 8am, and Josh ran the 10K at 9am. All three of them hadn't run a race in a significant length of time and they all did a great job!


Josh did fabulous, too. It may have had something to do with his cheering section:

Josh ran a personal best: 42:36. WHOO HOO!! He was really glad to have run the race, also in part because it got him out of his 16 mile marathon training run he was supposed to do that day. :)

Renae was so tired having gotten up early to watch Daddy run, but she thoroughly enjoyed his medal! :)

After that, it was home for some sourdough waffles, Kenny and Shannon came over and enjoyed them with us.

After they left, we watched the new Robin Hood movie with Russel Crow, very good. Then, we went over to more small group friends' house, Jeremy and Audrey. They have a 6 year old girl and a 2 year old boy...who is obsessed (like every little boy is) with Toy Story...specifically Buzz Lightyear. He loves to shoot people with his 'yazer'. Sound effects and all. So cute. Renae had fun playing with him too. We had a lot of fun. It is absolutely amazing to us how God provides such amazing people everywhere we go. We have awesome awesome friends!!!

Sunday we went to church and small group, then headed home to find THIS:



yes, in our garage right in front of the door. Oh and why does the body look fuzzy? Cause it's covered in a million babies.



WOW. Sunday night we had Growing Kids God's Way...super fun! Then comes Monday...we relaxed! We did a little shopping, went for a walk, watched a movie, it was great!



Who's cute? :)
