Cycles

Another weekly cycle is beginning ... Monday comes, work starts, school starts, the routine returns.

We had a good weekend. Cyndie was at a Hearts at Home conference in Bloomington, IL. She went with a friend from church. They had a really good time. There were several main sessions, and also a lot of side seminars to attend. They got back around 10p on Saturday. While mommy was gone on Friday, the kids were with Grandma and Grandpa D. They (G & G) had friends from Alaska visiting, and the kids were very good for them. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa. I went over there for dinner after work, then the kids and I went home.

Saturday, my sister Amy and the cousins came up for a late breakfast, then we got ready for my Auntie Karen's birthday. That was a fun time ... we grilled burgers and enjoyed the nice weather and they fun times that maturing cousins have together (more playing, less fighting)! We had dinner over at Grandma and Grandpa's, then hit the sack, tired!

Sunday was church, then more time outside in the nice weather. Late afternoon Cyndie went over to help set up the church Silent Auction (for scholarships to summer camp for the church kids). Then we all went over there for a potluck and to bid on the great variety of goods up for auction. In all, it was a nice weekend ... the best part of which was the great weather.

It looks like this week will be in the 50s and 60s! We're looking forward to time outside enjoying that.

Fun Timmy anecdote. We're driving in the car the other day, and I have the radio on to the Classic Rock station that I like. Timmy pipes up ... "hey, this is a Guitar Hero song" which indeed it was. I was amazed by that. Especially because 1) we haven't played guitar hero for several months and 2) when we did play, it was largely after Timmy was in bed and 3) Timmy himself never played, and rarely sat there and watched.
