Fall Visit with Grandma and Grandpa B

My parents came into town over the weekend for a visit.  A good time is always had.  But, since it was such a short visit (less than 2 days), we couldn't plan to do much.  Peter works weekends, so we basically just had Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to do something all together.  And I was serving at church on Sunday, so really, it was just Saturday afternoon and evening.  On Saturday, we carved pumpkins and enjoyed the outside weather (it was a GORGEOUS Fall weekend here!).  That night, I made some Albondigas and my sister Jill and her best friend Sara (who was visiting from Chicago this weekend) came over and joined us.  After dinner, we all played Apples to Apples, which was great fun.  On Sunday, Peter and my parents and the kids headed to Multnomah Falls for some site seeing and to enjoy the outside weather.  I was sad to have missed it, but glad they had fun.  And then, in the afternoon, we went over to my sister's house to spend some time with her and her boyfriend.  We chatted and played games and she cooked a fantastic pasta dinner.  Brownies and ice cream for dessert was provided by yours truly.

It was such a wonderful visit, albeit short.  It's always sad to see our visitors go, but look forward to seeing them again in January!
