Of Splinters and Campouts

Wow, where has the time gone? I need to catch up a little bit here...
On Thursday, my lovely wife got the chance to go swimming with some church friends and their amazing children. She had a blast and wouldn't (couldn't) stop talking about the children! Later that night she also told me she had a hair splinter in her foot and needed help getting it out. Which is where I come in :) It took a good bit of time, and a lot of squirming, but we finally got it out (the next day, actually...) and she's right as rain! It's funny, I had never even heard of hair splinters nor had one in my life until she was talking about them a few months ago. Sure enough, a few days later, I got my first hair splinter. Not a pleasant experience, but that's just practice for digging splinters out of children down the road ;)
On Saturday, we had a nice little campout in our living room. The idea came up (Bethany's idea, she's the brains here) that afternoon, when we were playing Dance Central and had to clear the living room rug to have enough space. Bethany looked around and said it'd be a fun idea to camp out in the living room. Of course, I had forgotten that she had an air mattress, and assumed she meant sleeping on the floor...not on my top ten, but anyways...
We were doing our nightly reading and a fun list of suggestions for quality time listed "Have a campout in your own living room" right there in the book. So...we blew up the air mattress, made a blanket fort, and snuggled up to watch some Netflix and fall asleep. The cats enjoyed the campout as well, so it was fun for the "family."
Other than that, we had a good father's day and had Bethany's dad over for dinner, and got to chat with him for a good bit. I got to speak to my dad and catch up with him, and also got to speak to my grandparents and enjoyed a nice conversation with them.
All in all, it's been kind of eventful since I got back to work and have been playing catch-up on that front. Hopefully there won't be such a gap between our blog posts next time!
