A Really Fun Day

Today was a fantastic day.

Rex took today off, and it was nice having him home for an extra day this weekend.

Leighann and I met at Monkey Joe's with the kids. Monkey Joe's is a play place for kids with a bunch of those huge bouncers with slides. It was so much fun! Isaac, Gabby and Ruthie had a blast running around and playing, and Jonas enjoyed just being there and watching everyone. Leighann and I got to talk for almost 4 hours, so that was awesome! I really needed some time just to chat with a friend after the past couple of weeks. Jonas fell asleep on the way home (around 2:00) and didn't get up until almost 5:00. I couldn't believe that he slept so soundly for so long! He needed the sleep though since his ear infection has kept him up some nights lately.

This also gave Rex a chance to run around and do whatever he wanted this morning/early afternoon. He and our friend Sean wound up running around town. They were productive though. They went to the butcher shop in the next town and came home with some bacon-wrapped fillets and some ground bison. Yum!

This evening Sean, Deb and Ryan came over and we grilled steaks. Isaac was so excited to see Ryan tonight. Jonas was in a good mood, all giggles and smiles.

I finally feel relaxed for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Today was just what I needed. :-)
