New Year's Day was filled with football, sewing and more football. The bowl pick contest within the Heumann family is getting quite close. Dan and Sarah are tied for first place and Leslie and I are tied for second. It looks like the Gator/Sooner game will be the deciding game. Only time will tell.Friday we ran some errands and practiced music at church in the early afternoon. Then we went to see "Marly and Me". It was a very cute movie with a sad but touching ending. I would reccomend it for anyone to see. We have seen other movies on DVDs and TV. Some cute, some dumb and some disturbing. Still it is nice to spend time together. We all had dinner at Cory's restaurant and watched more sports. Mom was introduced to the Deal No Deal show.
Today we had orchestra practice, made apple pies and played games. Pictionary was a favorite. Jeff had a funeral in the afternoon and I played a few hymns for. It was small, but very nice. We had dinner at our local mexican place, El Rancho. The food was good tonight, even the mozzarella sticks. We didn't get to the homemade applesauce or Scrabble. There is always tomorrow.
Wait! We have a potluck after church, take Sarah back to Hope College and then our first night of bowling. Guess no applesauce, but hopefully scrabble. I won't be bowling for the next 4 weeks due to my lifting restrictions after surgery. I can't lift more than a gallon of milk until February. That will make sure everything heals up well. I am feeling better each day, but still have periods of fatigue and discomfort. Tylenol and Motrin keep things in check for me.It has been nice to have Sarah and Grandma here over break. I am sad to think of them going back home/school. Mary and Matt are back to school on Monday. I will have to keep busy with light work during the day so the kids can carry and lift things for me at night.
Guess that is all the news. Have a wonderful SONday!
