Well Sunday was a great day of worship at BridgePoint and we love how they have finished the building and made it ready for worshipers with families and even a cafe. It was great to be welcomed back into the fold and I even signed up to help as an usher starting this day. We attended the first service and saw many new faces as well and many old familiar faces and friends. The praise music was awesome and of course the message was via the screen from the home church in St.Pete. I'm guessing totally a couple hundred in the first service including the workers and kids and we left not knowing how many attended the second service. What a relief knowing we no longer have to load in at 6 AM and then load out of a building each Sunday.
We came back and got ready for all of our family coming around 3'ish for a family dinner to celebrate birthdays of both Annsley, Gabe and then Katie and Tyler. Nancy prepared a delicious Shepard's Pie made with ground lamb along with fresh broccoli and crusty bread as then a chocolate cake and ice cream. I passed on the desserts but did have too many slices of crusty bread. It was just a perfect day with cool temps as we had the windows and doors open. We actually closed them as the evening progressed with the sun setting.
The twins were of course the center of attention with so many cousins playing and helping them with their toys. We played outside before supper and they loved playing ball and just running around in the yards. They ate well for supper and then it was bath time before they headed out for home. They usually go to bed around 6:30 and it was after that before they headed out for Brandon. Bobby had a 4 AM wake up for a flight to Arizona with his job. So everyone left about the same time as it was a school night. We put the house back in order and I too soon hit the shower and watched part of the late game. The Bucs looked about as bad as any team I've watched this season and they were not the only team with a good record go down in defeat as the Arizona team was beat as well, oh well. LATER
All of the grand were here as we celebrated birthdays
