No reason for a fly swatter when you life with Tucker Pensyl (see the fly on the back of the chair?)
Abigail picked a bug bite on her arm and there was a little blood - no worries - Marc Pensyl was on the scene. After sharing a thought or two with a non-present Erin and Jay for not having a readily accessible first aid kit in the car, Marc pulled out his own first aid kit. You'll see here he has the site of the injury elevated above her heart and he is applying pressure. Mr. Hoy would be so proud. Later a band aid was applied. Again, let me mention that there was only one drop of blood. I would have wiped it off on my pants and told her she'd be fine.
Things I like about this picture:
1. That Marc (over)reacted - it makes my heart burst to see him love like this!
2. The look on Abigail's face. It really says it all.
3. That David is holding Marc's finger
David holding Marc's hand while we were riding in the car. P.S. I also love how Abigail's legs are crossed at the ankles in this picture.
Our friend Andrew is a member of the Geek Squad at Best Buy. I had to take a picture of his badge because it made me laugh. Yes, I burst out laughing when I saw the picture. Yes, I probably embarrassed him by taking a picture of it. Yes, I probably destroyed his self esteem in that moment. But he still talks to me so I think it's all a-ok :)
Andrew was the first of his friends to turn 21 so Marc and I took him out for his first drink. We felt bad that he "had" to celebrate his birthday with his old youth leaders so I touched base with him before hand to make sure he actually wanted this! Our conversation went like this:
Sara: YOU'RE 21!!! Happy Birthday!
Andrew: Thanks! I was going to go to a beer distributor at like 11pm and stand outside for an hour and walk in right at midnight and buy something...but I decided that was too much work.
Sara: And you would have looked desperate. Be cool, be cool.
Andrew: Oh right. I guess I'm in the big leagues now, I have have to keep my rep up.
Sara: Totally. You're with the big dogs now.
Andrew: I guess this means I have to find all new friends who are at my level...can't be seen with those preschool chumps anymore.
I laughed - needless to say I think he had a good time anyway :)
We don't know what this stands for, but if anyone wanted to buy us this (quantity 2) for Christmas we'd love it!
I hit 85,000 miles in my car!

Megan, Desiree, and I had our girls weekend the other weekend and it was amazing (as always)! Now that we're all married it's hard to have a complete girls weekend, but Abe cooks for us (he knows the way to our hearts). This was a (from scratch!) flourless Mexican chocolate cake topped with vanilla sauce. It was literally the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. I had a picture of the roasted veggies and pumpkin cheese fondue he made us (in a real pumpkin!), but the picture got deleted between phone to computer sending. You'll have to trust me that it was delicious!
Marc and I have been leaving the dogs out of their crates when we go out lately. Today Marc put down a blanket on the couch so they wouldn't get dog hair on the couch while we were out running errands. Tucker was kind enough to scoot it to the side and then lay directly on the couch. I guess he didn't get the point. That blur you see? Lily jumped up on the couch when I took the picture.
