Weekend

It's been a good weekend around our house. The weather has been a little on the cool side, with highs in the 50s on Saturday and in the 60s on Sunday. Saturday morning Pavan woke up early, so he made some coffee and went outside. It was only 34 degrees when he went out! And to think we were in the 100 degree temperatures in Fort Worth only a few weeks ago.

Saturday morning we all went to Merrill for the open house at Dorinda's Dance Studio. The girls had both outgrown all of their dance shoes from last year, so we labeled them to sell at the studio ( a really cool thing that Dorinda lets you do, you leave the shoes there with your contact info and the price you're asking, they mail you the money when the shoes sell) and went down to get fitted for new shoes. Of course Noah is taking tap this year, so he was fitted for little tap shoes too. They had a program where we got his first pair of dance shoes for free if we paid for the first 3 months of dance in advance, so we took advantage of that. He was really excited to see the dance studio where he will have his class. It's a brand new studio they just opened in the upstairs of the building, and it has a huge sliding glass door and windows that look out onto a lake and some railroad tracks, which Noah thought was really cool. He greeted Dorinda nicely, and was upset when we left without having a dance class!

This morning (Sunday) we got up and went to church. Pavan stayed home with Amaya, the two of them had some errands to run at Home Depot. This was Noah's first week in his new Sunday school class. Before now, he'd been in the toddler room of the nursery, but now he's in an actual class. He was pretty nervous at first, and decided to go into the church service with me instead of his class. Well, he quickly realized how boring the church service was for a three year old, so he decided to go into his class. When we got in there, they were having a snack, so he thought maybe Sunday school was ok after all!

This afternoon we had a cookout, one of our last of the year. Kindra's friend, Kirsten came over after church and spent the day with us. It was a beautiful day, nice and sunny, and cool enough that we neededjackets. Kindra and Kirsten went out on the kayaks, and Noah and Amaya had a great time getting absolutely filthy, and catching frogs. At one point Amaya was following a frog, trying to catch it, and she ended up following it out into the lake!! According to Pavan, she walked right out into the water and then sat down!! Anna just had a good time playing with everyone.

Tomorrow our busy week starts, with gymnastics tomorrow night for Anna. Tuesday we have Gym Ventures class in the morning and dance classes for all the children in the evening, Wednesday Kindra has youth group at the church, Thursday Anna has gymnastics again, and Friday we will just sit down and take a deep breath!

Have a great week!
