Wednesday already?

We had a beautiful weekend! The weather was almost perfect. We got up Saturday morning and went to a local farm market. I had a coupon:) We bought squash, zucchini, peaches and a jar of local honey. Because of the coupon, we also got a 1/2 peck of apples for free. We live in apple country, but I had yet to taste anything local. I got a few recommendations for the kid working the counter and filled a bag with multiple varieties. It was a nice way to spend a little time on Saturday morning. The peaches and apples have been great! Squash and zucchini have yet to be eaten. As we were leaving the market, I received a text message that basically said, "You two need to get out of bed and go outside! It's a beautiful day!" As much as I wished we were still in bed, I was glad we were able to enjoy the beautiful morning. It felt like fall.

After lunch, two friends and I went geocaching. If you don't know what it is, you should find someone who does. It was a blast. We were at it for almost 5 hours before we realized what time it was. We went to dinner at a Chinese place in town where I had never eaten, and it was great. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees to share and still had leftovers. One of the entrees we tried was a red curry. It was quite possibly the hottest thing I have ever eaten. After dinner, we went back to B's house for a movie and ice cream. I didn't get home until after 11 p.m. It's always nice to have a day out, and I'm so thankful that Kraig was willing to be home with Kate all day by himself.

Sunday was the kick-off of the new teen service, Awaken. We're outgrowing our building, so the teens meet in a modular that was previously used by a school for classroom space. We're outgrowing the modular, as well. We have Awaken during the 8:15 and 11:15 services. Between the two we had 37 people this week. It was great! Lots of new faces and lots of enthusiasm. The Lord is moving! All-in-all, Sunday was a great day for the teen ministry.

Monday, which is Kraig's normal day off, we slept til noon....well, kinda. Kate woke up with what we think was a night terror about 12:30 Monday morning. She was screaming hysterically for probably close to a half hour. We tried everything we could to calm her down, but it was like she wasn't really there. Like she was still asleep. Finally, she started to calm down (and wake up). I decided to lay down with her in the spare room, and she was calm and asleep almost immediately. I, however, was not. It was to the point that had the screaming gone on much longer, I was ready to take her to the hospital. It was absolutely terrifying. She was up before her normal wake up time Monday morning, so I fed her and let her play. She was ready for a nap about 10 a.m., at which time I also passed out. Kraig was still sleeping and we all three slept until noon, when Kate woke from her nap. We stayed around the house and did a few things here, but basically relaxed and enjoyed what was left of the day.

After doing some research later on, I'm almost positive Kate was having a night terror. Now we're just hoping she doesn't have anymore!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! The week's already half over:)
