Oh Baby!

Babies are everywhere! This past Sunday, Amanda Pecht brought her new little OLIVIA to church for us to ooh and ahh over. Amanda is so tiny....Olivia is SO LONG!!!

Then the same afternoon, I met Drew & Allie in Midlothian for Lindsay & Matt's baby shower. The received oodles of great gifts....and it was so much fun to see many of our workcamp buddies! Lindsay originally was due on my bday, but now the docs are saying Sept 4th.

The day before, Allie & Drew returned from their week with the MURPHY clan in Nags Head. The Scudders had come over to swim and sit by the fire by the pool and Ben brought his new girlfriend, Jennifer. When Al found out they were down, she and Drew made a beeline down so they could meet Jennifer. It was terrific having everybody here. I taught Ellen Rose the rest of the Lord's Prayer in sign language so she could lead the children from Camp Kehukee in a performance for their worship service .

I finished painting the middle room. There is fresh carpet in the room. Now today I want to finish repairing the popcorn ceiling. Cross your fingers!

Took Alicia to a doctors appointment in Richmond. There was a hitch, so she needs to have some outpatient surgery later this month. All is well tho.

Al has connected with Our Lady of Lourdes and our "workcamp buddies" from the congregation. She begins confirmation classes on Sunday! Yay! They will be married there. Now I am looking up venues for a reception near the church. Al and I are having fun browsing the internet on wedding plans. We hope to have a small engagement party near the end of October.

Al begins classes at VCU today..

I'm having fun connecting with old high school friends on Facebook. Our 40th reunion in Gloucester is next year!

John is even on facebook now. He is hoping to connect with old buddies also.

Had breakfast at THE YANKEE yesterday with Al & Drew and then on to errands.
