Memorial Day Weekend

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.  John 15:13

We had a nice relaxing Memorial weekend.  We spent some time talking with the kids about soldiers and war and our family memebers who are serving right now and have served our country in the past.  I just found out I have a cousin who was just deployed to Iraq about a month ago.  We also just spent time as a family cleaning out the garage (that is always fun! ) on Saturday.  Then Saturday night we had a cook out on our fire pit.  We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.  The kids loved this.  Sunday was busy with church things and then we were all so glad to still have Jay home on Monday even though he had to spend most of the day working on a school paper.  Papa and Grandma came over for lunch and visited for awhile and then we just had a quiet relaxing evening.

Here are some pictures of our fire pit.  I didn't take any pictures of cleaning the garage.  LOL but we can now park the suburban in there just in time for the summer heat!
