Quite a Weekend!

After finishing the first week of a new school year, we spent most of the weekend attending various events for David's 4o-year FHS reunion. Yes, it has been 40 years, although that does not sound possible! I could say that there were lots of "old people" there, but I guess that would include David and I, too. David enjoyed visiting with some people he hadn't seen since high school and others that he hadn't seen since the last reunion, 10 years ago. I even knew a few of his old high school classmates, especially ones that live in Fayetteville. I talked with Matthew's 4th grade teacher, Jane Arnold, who is the wife of David's classmate, Vance Arnold. I also visited with his classmate, Nancy Ballard, who was Lisa's 4th grade teacher.

Even though the weekend was pretty well filled with just reunion activities, we managed to add more to our schedule on Sunday by having James, Allison, and Jesse over for lunch and visiting. Then, on Sunday evening, we attended a Sunday School class "movie night" party at the Gordon's house. It is a good thing that I didn't really have any schoolwork to accomplish because there would have been no place to fit it into the schedule.

Here are some pictures I took Sunday afternoon of Jesse: (No one at the reunion or Sunday School party was cute enough to warrant any pictures, but it is hard to compete with a grandbaby!)

Here you can see Jesse's two bottom teeth.

He is about to get the hang of crawling, but still has a little work to do to totally figure it out.

I love this upside down shot!

After Jesse's afternoon nap, we went swimming. He especially enjoying splashing in the little pool, but he wanted to climb all around in the pool, so we had to keep a hand on him.

James showed us how Jesse likes to "ride the horse," but his favorite way is to ride "like the cowboy rides," as seen below.
