past weekend
Came home from work on Friday and got to take a little nap when Elena and Zach went to the doctors office for his 2 month checkup. Olivia was sleeping and we decided not to wake her up and that I should stay home so there is my nap. OK, off to Decorah and arrived around 6 to see GG Watson and the folks. Speckles doesn't really like to travel with us much anymore because of the two kids and their big car seats taking up all the room. Anywho, we went to Cho-Sun's for chinese buffet. We saw a girl I graduated from HS and said hi. Olivia was just the entertainer with her eating and drinking the tea, water and ice. She could spend hours eating a meal. She'd take a few bites of one thing, meticulously take a drink of tea, grab an ice cube, put the ice cube on the table, chew a bit, swallow, play with the silverware, lift her plate and say, "all done," then take a drink of water, pour her water from one glass to another, snag a noodle and chew on that for a while, spit it out and get a drink of tea, etc. Zach just slept the whole time.
Everybody went back home and Elena, Zach and I went over to Ben and Steph's. We just talked about stuff til one in the morning. Kids don't realize that they are supposed to sleep in if the parents stay out late. Luckily the parents helped out with watching them.
One thing that Ben reminded me of was when we were at Luther we and another guy went to Iowa City to go to a Magic: the Gathering tournament. We got there and right in front of the place Ben's car broke down. doh. We pushed his car into a parking spot and registered for the event. A mechanic shop we called wasn't able to get us in for a day or so and that was not so good. Fortunatly Ben's parents were heading down to Clinton and then Iowa City so they were able to drive two cars down there to pick us up. Whew. We had a load of fun at the event. I didn't do so well but had a lot of fun. The tournie people had brought in the big dog professional Magic player and that was going to be neat to watch him play. It wasn't so great. He was kinda a jerk with other players by shuffling and stacking his opponents cards and dealing for them. This would have ticked me off to no end. In the quarterfinals though, (there were around 100 players in this event) his opponent in the final of a best of three dropped a third turn serra angel and blood moon. Hahahahahaha. To the non-magic players thats a real hum-dinger if you aren't prepared for it and this joker wasn't. He started bitching and moaning and his opponent was cool and calmly stomped all over this guy.
We watched Iowa BB on Friday win a big game vs. Mich State and heard the final while at Cho-Sun. A guy had brought his radio to the restaurant. Then we watched Iowa lose a heartbreaker to Wisconsin on a last second three pointer. Oh well. I haven't looked at the final brackets but Iowa has a good shot at making it.
We were asked to sponsor a couple that had moved to Rochester for church. They didn't know anybody so we were asked to stand up there with them. There were about 20 new members at that service. They seemed nice enough.
After that I went it to work for a few hours. It was pretty slow but thats OK sometimes. Elena and the kids went to see her grandmother in Preston at the nursing home this afternoon and they just got back and I hear Olivia so better cut this off.
