August

Summer keeps chugging along, bringing the start of the school year closer and closer for the kids.  It's been a busy couple weeks with their activities.  Nick's football practice started Monday, and he's had practice every night this week for 2 hours.  He had weigh in this morning, and has 2 hours of practice in full pads plus full contact this morning.  They changed the rules this year I guess and limit contact to 90 minutes a week.  He only had moment where practice (during up & downs I think) really got to him...brought him to tears and the words "let's go home" escaped!  Angie told him he could finish, so he went back out and all was good!

Emma's school JV volleyball practices have started. She has that 4 days a week. Their 1st game is currently scheduled for the 1st day of school. Her summer AVA volleyball league ended on Wednesday night, so that's one less thing on the schedule!

Katelyn has gymnastics practice 5 days a week, gets Tuesday and Sunday off.  She has a birthday party to go to today, so she'll miss practice.

Our (Ang & I) last community group night with the group we've been with for almost 18 months was this past Tuesday.  Sad to leave it, as our group really bonded together, had fun together, and grew together. My men's group also ended last week.  It was a shorter specific topic series that I'll miss as well.

Angie & the kids have been getting school supplies bought over the past couple weeks.  Backpacks came in yesterday, so everyone is pretty happy for those.  It's tax-free weekend here, so we'll probably be avoiding any school shopping today...it will be a mad house!

  1. It's hard to believe that the summer is drawing to a close already. It has felt more like early fall than summer here anyway with the coolest July average temp in recorded history. We had camp fires a couple of times in July including one last night so maybe August will be the same way. With the school year soon to start it sounds like the activities list just makes an adjustment. Why did your small group end after 18 months? I sure miss my old small group from Bainbridge Island. We meet for dinner and discussion about Christ every Tuesday night at Tad and Sally Fairbank's house for over 4 years! I love my church here but have not found a small group that I feel comfortable in as yet. It will eventually happen and I may be comparing to what I had which I shouldn't do.
    Hugs and kisses to all. Gramps sure loves the Kenney Krewe!!
