Our last two weeks have been amazing, busy and blessed! We started off last weekend heading out to our church yard sale for any bargains. I found several puzzles for Caroline that had never been unwrapped and a few shirts that still had the tags!

Mamaw Moren ended up purchasing the clothes below for the grand total of...$2.20! What a bargain! The yard sale at our church raised $3100, which will be used for local mission work.

Check out my lamp that I purchased for $1! This will be a perfect addition to the master bedroom.

We loaded up last weekend and headed to the circus. Wes and Caroline enjoyed their date together as they laughed at the clowns and animals. I think the animals were the biggest hit. This is Caroline's 2nd circus recently...we are real carnies!

Wow! Bears riding bicycles! Like father...like daughter

We had the biggest breakfast Saturday morning. Matt had been talking about the feast for days. It was a big deal for the Ritchie family, since we do not usually cook breakfast. Caroline colored while I cooked. She pointed to the little boy in the picture and said, "Will." Then I asked her who the little girl was and she said, "Lana." So sweet! She adores them!

The next morning we went to watch Lana and Lakyn play volleyball in Conway. Caroline loves to watch volleyball...and I have a deep internal hope that she will grow to love the sport. My heart skips a beat when I see a good game of volleyball.

Lana! Lana's team ended up winning their age division! Lana served the final serve to win the game...such a nail bitter game.

Caroline and I met Matt after work this week and we traveled up to Fayetteville to see Sarah, Ryan, and Macy. We arrived late Friday evening and then Sarah got a surprise phone call from Lauren. Lauren needed Sarah to put her dogs outside since someone was coming to look at their home, so Sarah and I headed straight over. After entering the house, Sarah realized it was a surprise shower for her! Gotta love surprises!





This is a really good picture of what this weekend looked like....Caroline chasing Macy...all the time...Macy was so tired when we left!

We had a wonderful time this past weekend...Thanks Sarah, Ryan, and Macy for making our stay so special!
