Weekend with various family members

Jeff's parents came to visit us last weekend, and my grandparents also came to Wichita for the weekend and stayed with Matthew and Joella. We all got together on Saturday. We started the day at Karg Art Glass Gallery in Kechi (just north of Wichita). My grandparents had been wanting to see the place for some time, so we agreed to meet up with everyone there. Joella and I found cute jellyfish Christmas ornaments and each bought one for our trees. We all went for lunch at On the Border, then took our little convoy over to check out a couple of really nice houses that were featured in our fall Parade of Homes. After that each party went back to their respective abodes for a while to start making dinner. We all gathered back at our house for dinner and to watch the KU/Texas A&M football game. Matthew's an A&M alum (boo).

Before dinner, Dr. Joella removed Jeff's stitches from his knee injury, to the great delight of the parents and grandparents (and the photographer, who was quite thrilled with the free medical services).


We then sat down for a dinner of leg of lamb, green beans, fresh banana bread, garlic bread with sun-dried tomato dip, parmesan and romano risotto, and apple crisp and ice cream for dessert. It was nice to have everyone together for the day. Oh, and KU won the game. Go Hawks! 8 and 0!


On Sunday, we did the usual - went to church, then hung out around home in the afternoon. Jeff and I winterized the lawn, and his parents wandered around the neighborhood for a while. They took us out for dinner at Bonefish Grill that night. They headed home on Monday morning.
