1. 3 Soccer games- this is our first foray into travel soccer. Aaron's team lost 2 and tied 1 this weekend. Competition was much stiffer than rec. Fun to watch though. I never thought I would like soccer as much as I do. Ann and Aandrew's seasons don't start until after labor day. Amy isn't playing, it went co ed for her age group and she opted not to play with the boys.
2. Family reunion in Bremen- My Dads family is fun to be with. The reunion is at my cousins house who has a pool and just a beautiful house for entertaining. They are always very gracious to let us have it there. The kids love it, and get to play with their cousins. Sad too though, the economy is so much more bleek up there. With factories closing, so many of my relatives are losing jobs they have had for 20-30 years. One cousin told me of marital trouble- made my heart sad. We surprised friends of ours for a quick visit on the way home. Always nice to see the Masons.
3. Joe is at Prison playing basketball with the inmates today. He sacrifices a Sunday a month for their pleasure(he loves to play too ;) It is a good ministry and I am thankful he listened and obeyed when God nudged at his heart to start this. It is as beneficial to the players from our church as those at the prison! "A grateful heart is good medicine" to see it in action is good for anyone.
4. First week of school went well. I am still not quiet into the swing of things yet. Everyone loves their teachers, we are blessed with a good school. Andrew said today that he doesn't ever want to move because he wants his kids to go to Carey Ridge Elementary. So cute. Amy is adjusting to middle school.
5.I colored my hair dark. I would say "back" to my original color, but it has gotten darker after each pregnancy. Needless to say it is darker than it ever was before. I am tired of coloring it. My husband always liked it lighter(I guess it was light when we met 20 years ago), but I didn't consult him. I am trying to simplify. Don't be shocked when you see me. :)
6. Busy week ahead. Soccer practices, baseball try-outs, doctor appointment, I get a crown(I wish it was on my head and not on my tooth), I go back to work after a 3 week break :(
Please pray for Aaron's doctors appointment, it is of a sensitive matter, but could be serious.
This is my third attempt to publish this post. For some reason the computer doesn't like it, I hope you do!
