T-minus 3 weeks and counting

This weekend seemed to fly by. Not that we're complaining, because we are now another week closer to our South African vacation! Not too much to report on this weekend. The weather is still hot and humid, so most of our time was spent indoors in the comfort of our air-conditioner, and in the pool!

Friday's Family Fun Night consisted of watching the movie Charlotte's Web. Liesel had recently finished reading the book to the boy's which they seemed to enjoy. So for her family fun night, Liesel picked up the Charlotte's Web DVD from the library. Freshly popped popcorn was the perfect snack to complement the movie!

On an overcast Saturday morning, we paid our local Toys R Us a visit to pickup a backpack for Josh's pre-school starting in late August. We also picked up a new game that Liesel will give to him on the airplane on the way to South Africa. The day remained overcast, and there seemed to be some storm clouds building up. So we decided to make the most of the dry weather, and headed to the Westlake Recreation Center, so Josh could play in the playground, while Nathan and I worked on his tennis skills on their tennis courts.

Church was the first thing on our agenda for Sunday morning. Afterward, we relaxed at home. That afternoon, Nathan and I paid my friend Jim a visit. We had a good visit, sharing smiles and handshakes, before we headed to a sports store, for Nathan to find a mouth-guards to accompany his football helmet. By the time we got home there was just enough time to jump in the pool, before I headed out to a 4 hour long band practice and dinner. I leave you all with a photo of the beautiful summer evening taken from my upstairs window.
