It is Hot Out!

This weekend was a really nice one, albeit REALLY HOT. We went to visit Mammaw (my great grandma) in Crane, MO, which is not far from Branson. We hadn't seen her for a while, so it was nice to chat. We also went to the Black family reunion (my mom's side) in a town about 30 minutes from Crane. We don't get together very often and I hadn't seen a lot of people who were there for at least 10 years, most of them it had been 19 years! We managed to do both things on Saturday, including the drive there and back! It made for a really long day, but it was worth it and we couldn't make it any other way.

On Friday, Aaron and I had a chiropractor appointment and his office is on the other side of town, so we took the opportunity to stop by Babies 'R Us, which is a bit out of our way otherwise. And we got registered! We're still finetuning the regsitry, so some things may be coming and going over the next few weeks. It was a lot fun to do together and pretty much we agreed on everything we picked out. They have a very well organized registry, so when we left we got a printout of all of the things they thought we overlooked. We're going to try to go over it this week and get everything updated. We can do everything online, so it is very convenient.

On Sunday Kim and I went to our friend Lindsay's bridal shower. She's marrying a guy I went to high school with and I know a lot of his family. I hadn't seen most of them since I graduated high school. After the shower Kim let me go through all of the clothes that Jocelyn has outgrown (she just turned 4 months, so it was newborn, and 0-3 month sizes). We got so much great stuff! There was plenty of, well, I'm not sure how to say this politely, so I'll just say it -- ugly stuff in there! They were hand-me-downs that Kim got and she was in agreement with me. So we made an ugly pile and it is going to Goodwill. I did keep a lot of things I thought were ugly, too, but they seemed practical (sleepers, etc). Don't worry though, for every ugly outfit there were at least 5 super cute ones! I ended up with 2 medium sized boxes and one huge ziplock bag full of clothes! She also is letting me borrow a glider, a high chair and a boppy. She also had 1.5 packages of diapers that were too small and three 2 oz bottles of formula that they got at the hospital. So, I made out really well! It is so nice of her and Jason to let us use so much of their stuff.
