It was a pretty normal Sunday around here. We went to church this morning. Then, after church we went and had pizza at Pantera's with Michael's parents. It was a nice meal. It's been a while since we've eaten with them and I always enjoy having a meal with them.

This afternoon I mainly just did laundry. Michael worked on getting the new door knobs put on the front and back doors. He also helped the neighbors with a toilet. The kids spent most of the afternoon playing Wii. I did try to take a nap, but it's pretty much impossible around here for me to take a nap.

This evening was the chili cook off at church. They do this every year to raise money for the youth group to go to CIY in the summer. There was probably twice as many participants this year as last. They raised enough money for almost three kids to go to CIY. That's really good for a small church. They will have a couple more fund raisers before this summer, so they've got a really good head start.

It was a nice evening. I enjoyed visiting with everyone. There is a family that used to go to church there back before Michaela was born. They are back. Their oldest is a few months younger than Michaela. Actually, she's young enough that she's only in 3rd grade this year. I don't remember them, but she says she remembers me. She seems very nice and Michaela is loving that there is another girl her age at church now. I hope they stick around for a while.

After we were finished at church we went over to Michael's parents' house to see the puppy again. You'd think we didn't have a dog of our own. Michael had to take a tool back he'd borrowed from his dad, too. By the time we got home it was time for the kids to go to bed. I took my shower a little early and am going to go to bed a little earlier than usual, too.
