2-7-2009 Saturday - A Weekend With The Starr's!

We always love it when Brad and Berta and the cousins come to visit us! This weekend they came for just a quick overnighter. We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. Yummo!

The kids ate at one table and the adults were next to them. They felt pretty independent doing it that way. And it was a lot easier to get 2 tables of 6 and 7 also! Brad and Berta's new little girl, Talia, was a doll and the kids had so much fun together too!

But earlier on Saturday, we had run into a little trouble with Dallan's finger. He put a ball bearing ring onto it, but it was a little too tight. His finger started turning red and swelled up on him. We couldn't get it off!

So, who ya gonna call??? Our dentist and good friend, Carey Penrod. Luckily, they weren't too busy (Only just about to have 25 kids over for Trabuco's Winter Formal dinner!) But he was so sweet - he drove Dallan over to his office and cut that ring off with some dangerous tool that only dentists like to use! Ha! Ha!

It was a good thing too, because once it was off,
we could see just how much damage it had made in only a few short hours!

Dallan says he's keeping it for a memory.
Aren't memories fun to make???

Thank you Dr. Penrod for saving the day
and helping us to enjoy the rest of our weekend!

I love reading about all the friends we left behind in the Mission Lake Ward. It was good to see Roberta, I remember when we served in Primary together, give her my love. Our RS President went to college w/Diane Fuller so I get news every now and then. You can catch up w/us at theheartofourhome.blogspot.com. Was good running into you guys at Xmas. I'm glad you remembered us!!!

I read about this story on fawns blog and think it is so funny! I would have been scared with the drill so close to my finger! He was probably just glad to have it off though. ;)
