• We were awake and soon getting ready for church this morning. I did have to wake up Reagan and Kennedy at least twice before I was sure that they were actually awake and getting ready. Most of folks had time to eat breakfast before we go. However, there was some confusion with Whitman since he heard Robby say that we were having breakfast at Nonna's house.
• Whitman did get breakfast before church as well as at Nonna's house after we went to church. Church was good and seems to be getting back to normal-ish. Next week we start back Sunday school so hopefully that is when things will really start to feel like normal again.
• Nonna and Pops had quite the breakfast spread-pancakes,  monkey bread, fruit, egg and sausage casserole and lots of bacon. Everyone found something that the liked for sure. 
• We also began celebrating Reagan's 16th birthday at Nonna's house. She opened up a shirt, hat, and some cash from Nonna along with mascara and a watch from Jason. Reagan was super pleased with all of her gifts (possibly because she had picked them all out!) After presents, we even sang to her and enjoyed some cupcakes. 
• When we came home, Campbell watched Bentley while Robby and I had naps. I did set my alarm for a while. When I did that I thought that there was no way I would sleep that long. Ha! I was wrong. I slept until that thing rang!
• This evening, we took Keaton and Whitman to the pool while Anderson, Graham and Campbell went to Rock Creek for church. Tonight was the first night that Campbell's grade was able to go. She has given us some details, and I think that she really had a good time. At least she says that she wants to go back next year. 
• We then had supper at Shannon's house. It is kind of nice not cooking a meal all day long. Well, I know that there are lots of days that I don't cook a meal! We had baked potatoes along with some bbq tonight which was all delicious.
• After we ate, Tony and all the big boys left to go and watch a movie tonight. Robby passed on the movie-instead we stayed with Shannon and watched a dog training movie. Currently, it is 10:30 and I should be sending people to bed. However, Keaton and Whitman are doing their school work, and I don't want to break the school work party up. Campbell is quietly playing with the dog-"quietly playing" doesn't usually describe Campbell and Bentley. The big boys are still at the movie and Reagan is watching tv in the bonus room so it is kind of quiet around here.
