Keeping Busy

I've been keeping busy recently. We really enjoyed having Lindsey and Thomas come visit for a long weekend last weekend (March 29th). It was fun to host a baby shower for her while she was here. I really enjoyed trying to transform the house into girl territory! Wendy Middleton helped me host it. She was gracious enough to be our photographer for the evening. She made her awesome artichoke dip and also made some yummy raspberry sherbet and ginger ale frappe. Along with that I bought some tasty pastry treats and made a delicious 4 layer strawberry lemonade cake and a chocolate mousse pie. The turnout was very good (thankfully as that is always a source of anxiety for me when hosting a party) and everyone seemed to enjoy the company, the refreshments and the games. We played 'Don't Say Baby', Baby Shower Bingo and the Baby Attributes game. Lindsey got a lot of wonderful gifts. In fact, their car was FULL for the trip home! While Lindsey and Thomas were here we made a visit to Grandpa's, took a couple of walks, played games went out to eat and just enjoyed each other's company. This week is spring break so I'm not getting up early for Seminary each morning. Lindsey and Thomas were kind enough to bring me the Hunger Games trilogy of books to borrow. I'd previously listened to the first book, so I started in on the second book and ended up finishing the third book today! They are too hard to put down and with no need to get up early in the morning and Darvin working graveyard shift this week...well that's all I need to get into bookworm mode!
