High Five Friday

1. After the one day cold front, this week saw 90 degree temperatures. What is happening to fall? I know I should be relishing in this beautiful weather and living it up in shorts and sandals, but I’m over it. Bring on the cold.

2. We met up with some of Devin’s aunts, uncles, and grandma at Joe’s BBQ for dinner.  It was fun to get to catch up with them. Zander was being super shy at first, but quickly warmed up. He was showing Nan and Aunt Jeannie how to dance and use iPhone apps.  He even tried to get Aunt Jeannie to buy some apps for him. 

3. I had to enroll in my medical benefits for 2013 and was so excited to find out that the new baby will only cost us $100 at the hospital!  Zander was a pricey $5000 and we are still paying him off in monthly payments 2 ½ years later.

4. It was a big week at work for Devin. He had his yearly review and got a 10% raise. 

5. We got together with the Reed cousins to celebrate what would have been Grandma Betty's 80th birthday. We had navajo tacos (thanks to Aunt Liddia) and ate pina colada cake which was Grandma's favorite. The older cousins were able to go to Grandpa's house and pick some keepsake items for themselves. The great grand kids each received one of Grandpa's socks filled with change. He started saving money this way many years ago and had piles of these socks under his bed. He dreamed of the smiles on their faces as they poured out the money and counted the change.
