bringing up three: An EventFULL Weekend...

I attended a women's retreat for my church over the weekend. I left Friday about 1 p.m. and didn't get back till about 8 p.m on Saturday. So the kids and Bryan were on their own for a full day! He held it down pretty well I have to say. He even took all 3 kids out to dinner with my Dad, Unlce Bob and his 2 kids who were on their own too. I wish I had a picture of all 3 men sitting at a restaurant table with 5 children, I'm sure that's not something you see everyday. Grandpa decided to take the 2 girls home to give the guys a little help. So they had a good sleepover together that night.
The retreat was fun. It was held in Fredericksburg, TX, a cute little town known. We started out with some shopping on Friday afternoon, then we went to dinner at a great little German restaurant, then back to the inn to hit the hot tub. On Saturday, we had 2 morning sessions, then lunch, then 1 final evening session. After that we did a little more shopping then headed home. I learned a lot about myself and others, got to meet some new people, and had a good time with family too.
I was really glad to be back to my kiddos. The big ones missed me, but I think my Rylen missed me most. He crawled as fast as can be to me when I walked in the door, and he nursed for a good long time right after that.
Then on Sunday, we had a church picnic. That was nice too. The music was awesome and the kids had a good time in the bounce house. We didn't stay too long because Ry fell asleep and was sweating, I didn't want my little guy to be too uncomfy. After that we went to Academy to get Bryan some new cleats for softball and Caden some more practice clothes. THEN we went to Costco, and then HOME SWEET HOME.
Yesterday we just went to Olive Garden for lunch, then went to visit my Grandma who has been sick for about a week. She's getting better by the day, but if you can spare a prayer...she could use them. She's a strong Christian woman and has sent many MANY prayers selflessly over the years and now she could really use them.
Oh, on top of that Brityn's got a cold so I'll be dealing with tons of boogers from 3 tiny noses for about 2 weeks I'm sure.
