Today (Monday), we celebrate my beautiful wife's birthday! I am so blessed to have been a part of her last 10 birthday's, and I pray that this year is her best yet! Happy birthday Liesel! Looking forward to celebrating many, many more together.
This time last week, I was blogging from a luxuriously appointed wooden lodge on the shores of Lake Manitowish! We had a fantastic time there with the Edgar family. In fact, we changed our plans and extended our stay by one more day. That extra day meant more tubing (Nathan's second time!), more tennis, more swimming and more relaxing! It was hard to pull ourselves away from that beautiful Eden, but we reluctantly drove back to Green Bay where the McCarthy's boarded the planes and made our way back home to Cleveland. Take a look at the slideshow at the end of this blog to get a taste of this beautiful resort!
Nathan was all ready to start First Grade on Thursday, until he complained of a sore throat on Wednesday. Liesel listened to her maternal instincts and took him to be tested for Strep throat, which came back positive. This news devastated Nathan, since he was so looking forward to going back to school. Fortunately, after taking anti-biotics for 24 hours, his throat returned to normal, and at 7:45am on Friday morning, he excitedly climbed into the big yellow school bus.
To celebrate Nathan's first day of First Grade, we went to eat at Moe's on Friday night.
On Saturday morning, Liesel and I took our bodies to another exercise class at our gym. Later that night (and all day Sunday), we began to feel exactly which muscle groups were worked out during the 50 minute class.
Sunday morning, we tried another local church, Grace Baptist, which Liesel and I really enjoyed. Unfortunately there is no children's ministry during the month of August, so Nathan had to spend the entire time with us in the sanctuary. We are eager to return next week, so that Nathan can get a feel for their Sunday School classes. After nap time, the family took a drive to the Westlake Recreation Center, where Liesel and Nathan went to hit a few tennis balls, while I burned off calories following Josh around the three playgrounds. It was a fun afternoon, and weekend, all round.
