well Kaitlin (Kate) has been home for three nights now and seems to be adjusting just fine. We're getting used to her sounds and enjoying her immensely! Kerri and Pat took her to the pediatrician this morning for a check-up. Here are some recent photos you might enjoy.
Dee and I have been busy doing odds and ends while Kerri and Pat tend to Kate's needs. I painted a patio table they had that was weathered and now more serviceable on their deck, but the stroller together and tried to figure out (still unsure) how the car seat attaches to the stroller for walks around the neighborhood. I went to the local Episcopal Church on Sunday morning and attended their "family service". It was amazing, I'd never been to a service like that. The children did everything - scripture readings, ushering, a drama of the scripture, the various responsive readings, special music. there were lots and lots of children with their parents. For communion, everyone went forward to get the wafer and dip it into the juice. Parents took their children up with them. It was all done "decently and in order". A real family and children's emphasis. There was no sermon as such for the adults during the service. But there was a "homily" time after the worship service for adults who wanted to stay the extra 20 minutes. About 30 adults did in a classroom where the pastor shared the message informally in a seated position on the theme for the day.
Sunday afternoon I was able to do some golfing at a local course and they paired me up with three other people. It ws a nice afternoon. I played 18 holes and it was good to get out and hit a few straight. We're going to bring Kerri's clubs back to PA for Dee to use as she tries to take some lessons and get acquainted with the game of golf.
Topday's task is to build the hibachi we got the other day for them to cook out on the deck from time to time. Raining here today after 3 beautiful days in the high 60s and 70s.
