Stress Free Weekend

A few pictures from Saturday night -- we had 23 people here for dinner. With the camera angle and where I was sitting I didn't get everyone in the shot, but we had some fun times (just don't look at the faces in the pictures above to determine how much fun). And of course, the food was great. Bart was amazing as always and Kari's fruit salad and Sue's cherry chocolate cake were amazing (even though I only had a very small slice of cake, oh dieting police out there).

We had a really good weekend. There was very little stress here, and yesterday we saw a movie and ate out together for lunch -- all 11 of us plus a friend of Salinda's... lots of good stuff. Everyone seemed fairly happy and content. Salinda had plans here in town all weekend, which is really good. She's not been doing that for the past several weeks and has made herself miserable wishing she was somewhere else.

And now we're back to the activities of a busy week. The schedule is going to start filling up again with 4 kids in spring sports and other things happening here.

The transition from weekend to weekdays, especially with daylight savings time, should be interesting.
