Well, we had yet another busy weekend! Miss Elizabeth was able to meet some new people, and see some new things. Saturday morning, my dear honey & his uncle FINALLY got my fall decorations set up in the front yard! My corn shocks, hay bale, and a half finished scarecrow (it still needs a head! Any suggestions!). I cant wait to dress E up in her halloween costume and attempt to take pictures.
My friend. Sara from high school was in the Dells, so we made the trip over there to see her (& her daughter Maddie, her boyfriend Jason, her brother Josh & his girlfriend Carrie!) YEA SARA! You made my blog! LOL! Anyways, this was Sara's first time seeing Miss E, so it was pretty special. Sara's daughter is 8 now, and Miss E is almost 5 months. I'm not sure if they will be close enough in age to want to "run around together" when they are older, like their mommies did...but...if they do, we will DEFINATELY have to keep an eye on them! If they have any chance to be like Sara & I were in high school, we're in for some T-R-O-U-B-L-E! We met for lunch at the River Walk, then walked the strip, and stopped at a few stores. It was GORGEOUS out! Then, Elizabeth & I went home, rested & when Jamie got done with work, we went back to see the gang, and ate pizza and visited. It was a long time over due for Sara & I to hang out again! It was fun! The guys did their thing (watched football of course & talked sports) while the girls...well, we shared recipes, talked baby talk, reminiced about old times! (Now, a few years ago, you get this group together and we wouldnt have been sitting at home, catching up, we probably would have been at Nigs' tipping a few back!
Anyways, it was a great night of catching up, but, eventually we had to go. It was way past Elizabeth's bed time (& mommy's as well!).
Sunday we made the trip back home to my Grandma's in Kieler. It was the big bad Kieler Parade you know! I have never been to the parade before, but, I guess, for being a small town, it's a pretty good parade, and, that it was! The weather was icky, and most of the family watched the parade from the dining room at Grandma's, but the older kids all went out on the street to get the candy (and they got ALOT of candy! Geesh!). We ate, visited, ate some more, before making the trip BACK to Reedsburg! I'm sure we spent more time driving, than we did at Grandma's but, it was definately worth going back for. I have definately learned, now that we have Elizabeth, that going home to see the family means so much more to me that it used to! Even though it probably cost us $30+ in gas to go back, for only a few hours, it was worth seeing my Grandma smile when we walked in the door. And it was totally worth seeing the smiles on my parents face when they pulled in the driveway. And of course...they all smiled and had to fight over who was going to take Elizabeth first! LOL!

We were all tucked out by the time we got home. E was in bed by 8pm, I was in bed by 9pm, and I have no idea when Jamie zonked out! Monday morning came way too soon...and another week has begun!
