Outside all weekend.

We were outside almost the whole weekend. We had an Elder’s Quorum barbecue yesterday evening and then our kids played with the neighborhood kids all afternoon today. Most of our pictures are from yesterday afternoon before the barbecue.

Also, I taught a Relief Society lesson on integrity today. Preparing for the lesson made me realize I need more of this quality in my life!

Saturday dinner: EQ BBQ

Sunday dinner: Food storage “lasagna.” Our real meal of the day was lunch. Abe had prepared a beautiful black bean burger lunch for our arrival home from church. I felt guilty that I never do that when I get home before everyone else. Maybe I will make the effort this Sunday.
