Melinda & Andrew and Paul & Priscilla came home the weekend of Dad's b-day for a surprise visit. Well, it was supposed to be a surprise. It's hard to put anything past Dad! He found out the Friday morning, but oh well.

They all arrived Friday evening, and we stayed up past ten thirty just chatting. It's been a long time since all of us got together! For those of you who don't know (though I don't know who doesn't know) Paul and Priscilla are expecting! She's due October 22, I believe. They don't know what it is yet, but they're going to find out when they can. We're all excited about being aunts and uncles, and Mom and Dad will be grandparents! (that's hard to believe!)

| Melinda, ever the English critic, critiqued some papers Nate and I had written. (At least she told us nicely how bad they were! lol... jk!) |
Mom and I had done most of the cooking before they came, but we just had to put some pies together Saturday morning.
 |
| Mince meat pie, maple nut pie, and pie crust cookies (made from leftover pie crust with butter 'n' sugar.... delicious!) |
 |
| of course, we had to have some fun with our instruments! |
 |
| Dad fixed the AC on Andrew and Lindy's car |
