The Weekend with Amy

Dad had nine ladies in the house with him on his birthday weekend. When we all were sitting together at church it made me wonder if people thought that we were really eight daughters.


The people in the picture are: Casey, Margaret, Amy, Alyssa, Melissa, Arielle, Jeff, and then Clara, and Ellie.
And here is just Amy and her roommates: Casey, Margaret, Alyssa, and Arielle. There is another girl in the room, also. Her name is Rachel.

The Powell family came over for Dad's birthday dessert on Sunday, and Brandon was happy to see Amy, his friend.

Brandon was about to go to his baseball game.


Clara got out her cups and mat and we were stacking cups. Amy and Clara like to do it where one of them is the right hand and the other one is the left hand. It definitely takes talent to stack that way.
We enjoyed shish kebabs for Dad's birthday dinner, and his cake was an Applesauce Cake with raisins that was delicious. I had the last piece with my breakfast today.

What a fun weekend! Was it a surprise or did you know that Amy was coming home? Was it fun to meet her roommates? Does she seem any different (more grown up? etc)? It must have been fun. I'm glad to get to see the photos. Thanks for posting.
Love you,
Auntie Steph

Yeah, she seems more independent. It was planned a little in advance, so we did know that so many people were coming! We're all friends with her roommates now, like more sisters. :)

Thanks for putting the pictures up! Could you please still email them to me, though? It was so good to see you all! I'm so glad I could come home! :)
