While I Was Gone...

As you all may or may not know, I had some family (my mom's brother, his wife and youngest kid) come to visit. They live 12 hours away. Friday at 7pm they arrived and we ran next door to my Nana and Papa's house (my mom and uncle's parents), where they would be staying. We visited until late that night, then went home and went to sleep. My cousin whom I shall call Nate on my blog, (though that is not his name. I just took a few letters from his name and came up with Nate). Nate (14 yrs. old) spent most of his time at our house, swimming (in 60 degree water), playing Wii, playing ping-pong and beating me, watching movies and playing card/board games. We also goofed around with paper airplanes and played tether ball, in which he also beat me at. :) Here's a couple of pictures that I could share with you.

(left to right) Caldirwen (though, you can barely see her between my legs), me, Nate, and Esara jumping into the 60 degree water in our pool, while it was 65-70 degree weather outside:

Here's a pic of Nate and I playing the card game WAR late on Monday night, while watching Star Wars Phantom Menace:
They just left this morning and we were all very sad to see them go. We went next door to say good-bye at 6:00 this morning and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Except for my uncle and dad. :)

Oh, and we lost Internet late on Sunday, that is why I haven't been on since then. My apologies! I wasn't able to do the Feminine Challenge, but I guess it was okay because I ended up wearing capris to swim, pants to play tether ball in the wind and goof-off at the barn with Nate. I am going to do the Feminine Challenge starting this Sunday.

Well, I am watching Sherlock Holmes with Narthea (my first time to see it), so I better run! G'night!

Love you! Love,
