Our Weekend

We've had a busy past few weeks, and it doesn't appear to be lightening up any time soon! Our friend Rusty came in from Delaware to spend some time with us (and Clemson), so to give the boys some time this weekend, to do whatever it is boys do, Addie Kate and I went to Lexington. Still in Greenville though on Friday night we were able to go out with friends, after Addie had a MAJOR blowout that resulted in a bath (I swear she only does this when we are going somewhere) and a lot of laundry.

On Saturday, Addie was able to go visit her Boompa, my Dad's father. This was the first time Addie's gotten to see him in the nursing home, and the first time she and Boompa were able to be so close. I think it really brightened Boompa's day to see her. He seemed so happy and talked to her just as much as he could! Here are some pics of Boompa, Mema, and Addie...

Sunday was St. Peter's 280th Homecoming. (I think that's the right number - I was a little distracted during the sermon! What I heard was good though, thanks Pastor Rawl!) I was so glad Addie and I were able to be in Lexington for it, just wish Tommy could have been there. What a special thing it is to be a member of a church that is so rich in history. Here are some pictures of Addie at the picnic after the service, in a big-girl high chair (with a little help from her diaper bag!). She loved sitting in it, I think because she was able to see everyone around her. We sat with my friend Ashley and her family, and her little Quincey kept Addie in laughs. We also went through several plastic spoons and offering envelopes - Tommy and I are going to have to put more money in the plate to replace those costs!

We hope everyone else had a great weekend! Love and hugs from the Sweatman's!
