Overcooked Hot Dogs and a Yard Sale

So glad to have Phil home again!

Phil made it home safely! He arrived home Thursday night around 9:30. James and Mariann just happened to be in Sacramento on Thursday and offered to pick Phil up at the airport. Becky, Morgan and Lindsay also flew in on Thursday night. Originally, we were going to make one trip to the airport and have one big happy reunion. It was nice that James could help me out, because Becky's flight was delayed 2 hours, and they didn't get home until 3:00 a.m.

We took the kids to the park this morning. There were free train rides, bounce houses and overcooked hot dogs--they weren't burnt, just shriveled up and a little dehydrated. The event was sponsored by several churches in the area. We stopped by the pet store on the way home to buy crickets to feed the alligator lizard, and then we spotted a yard sale down the street at a friend's house. Caleb came home with 2 new paint sets, Morgan found LOTS of chapter books, and Jared found a Disney Sing-a-Long video. I hesitate to stop at yard sales since we're moving in 3 weeks, but as we drove by, I saw lots of pink stuff! Gracie loved playing with the doll house that was there, but Phil wants to make one for her. I think a daddy should make his daughter her first doll house if he's able. It's so nice to have Phil home again!
