The weekend winds inexorably down . . .


Very early Saturday a.m., Matt, Eliza and Theo packed up and headed east for the trip home.


I was trying to get an "action" shot but it's mostly just blurry! Matt did a yeoman's job of condensing lots of things into a few very compact bags.


And Eliza did a great job of getting everyone ready so early!! (and she was up late getting things in order!! Maybe she did the packing?!)


Theo did a great job of being Theo - we already miss his sweet smile and winning ways!

Dad took them to the airport and I went back to bed!! The rest of the day consisted of more laundry - and then we headed out to Lake Elsinore for Madison's baptism.


It was great to see Dee and Frances again. Dee performed the baptism and Frances gave a great talk on the gift of the Holy Ghost - ask her to share her visual aids with you - especially if you work in Primary!


After we enjoyed good food and good conversation at Heather and Steve's house.


Grandma really looks short when you put her next to Ernie!


The food was great - baked ham, salads, peppermint brownies - it's a good thing today is Fast Sunday so I can repent!!

Enjoyed visiting with Doug, Janae and kids. (Plus a friend - who is actually from Crestline!)

Susanne and Sharon renew acquaintances.

Of course Dad and Ernie talked computers and iPhones! (Dad should be an iPhone rep - he is very enthusiastic when he points out the features.)

Today I'm back to fixing my own food - I haven't really had to cook a meal for awhile - which I have enjoyed, believe me!

We're having meatloaf and baked potatoes with broccoli and corn, in case you wondered!

Nice recaps. I think I should go for the Wet Look more often (not). I am sorry you didn't get to watch Theo one more time...however...you are invited to come watch him any time you'd like.

We are still recovering--all three of us took naps from 3 to 6 p.m. today. (our new 11:00 church didn't help the cause) I think it might be a few days before we are adjusted to the time change.

What a fun week!

looks like it was a fantastic baptism - we were sad to miss it - but we just couldn't make it work.
