What a Weekend (including a faceplant to the floor)

Drew's dad came into town this weekend and we got to spend a lot of time with him- we were so thankful. Here is Dave and Andy and Drew- Daniel was at home sick.
We had most of the Jamieson family here and got a group picture. We missed everyone who wasn't here.
Here is Andy with 5 of his grandchildren.
Kate wearing some glasses- I just got tickled when I saw her! And no, we haven't changed religions- I think that is a jewel sticker on her forehead. She is a HOOT!
Okay, for the story you have wondered about. You know, life brings alot of junk along the way and I have been so guilty too many times to focus more on that or what needs doing than laughing or doing something silly. Or I simply don't take the time for those little moments that end up taking your breath away. I feel like in the past I have missed much. I work on that daily because I want to be a person who people say now that girl really LIVED life. And I am doing better. So, last night, after all the girls were in bed, I sat down to read a little while Drew studied. Instead, Drew is sliding across the floor in his socks making some great slides. So, I suggest some races. We raced back and forth on our hardwood floors, just cracking ourselves up. Then, I have this wonderful idea that we try one with me on his back. So, off we go. Drew got a good running start and we were in a super slide when all of a sudden the slide stopped and as Drew went down, I went over his shoulder and caught myself with my lip hitting the hardwood floor. My hands also hit along with my chin. Drew about died and I could not stop laughing long enough to cry. I have jarred my jawbone because I can't bite all the way down in the back. My chin is bruised and my lip is a beautiful artistic masterpiece of red, purple, blue let along the size of a marshmallow. The picture does not do it any justice- especially after today but we had to get the moment on film. I have laughed about it all day. And you know what- we had a blast- we laughed and laughed and right now, that is just what we needed. (One more piece of info- if Drew had not stopped, I could have gone into the glass front door- my face hit about 6 inches from it- we truly are thankful! ha!) And YES, I did just turn 35 and you know- I find myself acting younger as I get older- who knows- by the time I turn 50 we may go skydiving!
