Welcome Guests

We were super excited to host the Pogemillers on their visit to Columbia.  It had been a while since we had seen them and it was so nice to catch up on everything.  Their kids are growing like crazy and it was fun for my kids to be the big kids and dig out some old toys and games that had been tucked away for a few years.  
They came Friday afternoon and we had some time for the adults to talk while the kids played in the basement.  We decided to all have dinner at CJ's (Sam thinks it is a must when anyone visits Columbia).  After dinner, the Swoffords came over for a bit to visit too. It was so nice to have the house full of people laughing and talking.  
Saturday was the Missouri v Tennessee football game.  The weather was not what any of us had hoped.  Ellen and Mark decided the temperature would be too cold for their kids to go so they took them to stay with Mark's sister.  I knew Ella wouldn't like the weather either so when her friend Jessie invited her for a sleepover it was perfect.  Sam and I braved the chilly night and Mark and Ellen sat with us in our empty seats.  We enjoyed the company but the performance of our Tigers and the weather had us all leaving before the game ended.  It was so nice to catch up though and I hope they get to make it back to Columbia soon.
