Friday is here ...

Hey all, be cheered, it's Friday!

We've had a nice week. It certainly was fun to have Wednesday off. We ended up taking a short hike in the morning (after eating sourdough pancakes for breakfast), then helping some friends set up for a wedding at church. Talk about a challenge. It's a girl from our church getting married, but we are also right in the middle of construction on the auditorium! They are a very artistic/creative family, so it should be interesting to see how they approach decorating. I know they're not doing it "traditional" because we are all sitting at tables rather than the normal benches. That's tonight. Anyway, we helped there for a couple of hours in the morning, then spent a lot of the afternoon cleaning up the house for a little get together/BBQ in the event. We had two couples and a couple of singles which was fun. Like usual, we watched the fireworks from on top of the water reservoir in the park.

Today Cyndie and the kids are on a field trip to the Discovery Museum with Emma's pre-K class. I'm working a half day at the office. In the evening is the wedding (7p) but the baby sitter is coming at 5:15, so Cyndie and I can go get some dinner first. I think tomorrow is a birthday party in noon timeframe, but other than that, it should be a laid back weekend.

On the kid front, we're working a lot with Emma recently regarding not whining. She spent quite a bit of time yesterday evening in the time out chair, but seemed to kind of understand it after that. Really what we're trying to get to is where both kids talk through things instead of Emma whining and Timmy crying. We'll see!

Have a good weekend,
Neal
