Two blog posts in a row this evening! That's what happens when I have a lot of fun, and my life gets too busy to keep up. Haven't had those problems in a long while!
On Sunday morning Dick and I got up early and sneaked out of the house for our 9:00 worship service at GBRV - essential personnel only. FOR THE LAST TIME! Next Sunday we will be in person again, hallelujah!
When we got home from church, the rest of the crew was awake. Dick had fun feeding and playing with Elizer. I made bacon, scrambled eggs with hash browns, and pancakes for the rest of us.
Elizer loves to watch his Baby Einstein videos.
Destiny played with LEGO's every little chance she got. She said her goal was to use every piece. I don't think she had enough time to accomplish that, but she had fun trying!
Around 3:00 we decided to go to Tudek Park, one of our favorite parks in State College. It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon, and I think we must have walked about two miles.
I got some great pictures of their beautiful little family.
After we came home, Dick started a fire, I got some stuff together, and we had our first cookout of the season.
As we were finishing up, Anthony and Lori and the boys stopped by to see Elizer for the first time. That was so fun!
On Monday morning Dick went to work till noon. Here at home we were packing things up. Elizer was having more fun playing on the floor. He LOVED our doll baby! He didn't completely get the crawling action down while they were here, but he most definitely can get wherever he wants to go!
When Dick got home from work at 12:30 we packed up the van and hit the road around 1:30. Everything was going great, Elizer was sleeping, and THEN:
Traffic came to a halt and there was dark smoke right ahead of us. A pickup truck was on fire! There were no emergency vehicles there yet, so we had to sit and sit and sit. Of course, Elizer woke up. And he HATES being in his car seat. So the rest of the trip was not too much fun. Sometimes he would drink a little from his bottle, and sometimes he would watch his favorite videos on Destiny's phone, but sometimes he was just angry and crying.
When we got closer to Alex's dad's place (where they live), we stopped at a Burger King. There were not many other people there, so we had a nice, relaxing time eating. Elizer was as happy as a lark.
At Alex's dad's place we unloaded everything and had some time to relax. Then Dick, Destiny, and I headed to Lancaster Catholic High School for her brother J'von's next playoff game. Alex stayed home with Elizer.
It was a really fun evening. Frank was there with Jada and Alaya as well as Lauren's daughter Nicayla. But I didn't get any pictures of them because I was doing a live video of the game for Alex to watch.
That's J'von shooting the ball.
It was a REALLY fast, exciting game! At the end of the fourth quarter the score was tied and they went into overtime. The place was WILD!! But during overtime, the other team made more points and won the game. So that ended the season for J'von's team. It was a sad bunch of boys that came out of the locker room later. J'von is a junior, so he has another year of high school basketball. Again, I didn't get any pictures afterward. I don't know where my brain was!
We said our goodbyes to Destiny then because her dad was going to be taking her home. We stopped to get ourselves some coffee and hit the road for home. It was probably 11:30 pm when we got here.
Boy, did I REALLY miss seeing Elizer's face the next morning! He is just SO precious!
This weekend I'll have Sammy and Bianca here for the first time since Mother's Day! That is guaranteed to be a great time!

You were really on the go for sure but looks like it was all fun and that's what counts. Maybe this week hasnt been so busy.
What a wonderful time! I love that you got to spend time in person with them, and playing with that little cutie had to be the best.
So thankful you are getting to have church in person again too.
You all had such a great time! Elizer is so cute - I say that every time you post his picture. It is nice to read that your church is opening up again and that things are a bit more relaxed there now! You have the best times with your amazing family! xo
Finally catching up with your posts. SO glad you had visitors again...can't wait for my turn! What a cute baby. Can't get enough of him!
