Another busy weekend here in the Halsted household. Friday night Matt and I attend a Marriage Course class through a friends church. We all have dinner together then watch a video and have a lesson. It's been a great course, it's put on by the same people who founded the Alpha Course.
The girls had our friends children over for dinner and a movie. Olivia is in Kaitlyn's class and they have been come great buddies. And her brother Alex is the same age as Grace. All 4 kiddos have so much fun together and it's great that they can all hang out together while us adults are out.
Olivia stayed the night on Friday and then for most of the afternoon on Saturday until it was time to take the Kaitlyn and Olivia to 4H cooking club. Grace and Matt headed out to practice some puck and stick handling in the road in front of the house. Then Matt made a wonderful Indian dish for dinner~Butter Chicken. Oh SO good!!!
Today we tried yet another church. The one we had been attending we just were not sure of and so we went to our friends church that we do the Marriage Course with and it's also Olivia's mom and dad. Come to find out there are quite a few families that we know that go to this church. They are currently looking for a pastor but many of the members of the church have been stepping up and speaking on Sunday mornings. It reminded us of a "Little House on the Prairie" church. The girls LOVED it mainly because they know most of the kids their age but also I think they just really felt at home there. We will continue to go over the next few weeks and really see if this is where God wants us.
Grace had another hockey game today and we have to say that she is really starting to understand the game and get her stick on the puck more. She was crying the other day when she found out that hockey ends at the end of March and they melt the ice for the summer. Poor girl was so upset. But there is talk about possibly finding out if we can get some roller hockey going over the summer. So we will see.
I am preparing to head back to the states on Thursday. Our church back in Kennewick is having their Women's Retreat this weekend and before we left Matt and I agreed that I could go back for it. So us 3 gals here ( Brooke, Kris and I ) fly out Thursday evening and will be back Monday night. I can't wait for the retreat, a time of worship and learning and fellowship with the women I miss back in Kennewick.
Matt will have a busy weekend while I am gone. Kaitlyn is having a class field trip skiing on Friday. So Matt is taking Grace out of school and they will also go up skiing with her. Saturday and Sunday Grace has hockey games and Kaitlyn has 4H on Saturday. Don't think they will have much time to miss me.
Well, I need to get going. I'm kind of long winded today but it's bed time and I have a couple little girls tucked into bed........
