family | fun | fall | fix it | football

We had our first taste of fall this weekend and were glad that Gene and Ardith were here for it, too! Friday night found us enjoying pork chops, corn on the cob (more produce from Iowa), roast potatoes and creme brulee. We began our day on Saturday with a mushroom, zucchini and potatoe frittata. Once fed, the men began on a few small home repairs while Heidi and Ardith did a little shopping. We all took a break to watch the exciting end of the Iowa-Iowa State game and then headed out for an early birthday dinner at Jasper's.

This morning we all attended the installation of our new pastor at church and it was fun to learn that she went to college with Mike's cousin! We enjoyed one more meal with Gene and Ardtih before they headed home. Now we're enjoying a dinner we didn't have to make--crab bisque, compliments of the seafood counter at our favorite grocery store!
