Single Digits!

We're just 9 days away from our dossier submission date!  Can't wait to have another milestone behind us.

We had a great weekend. I got home from work Friday and we went walking - walked somewhere between 2 & 3 miles. I love the new park we go to now - lots of shady un-paved trails to enjoy!
Got back to the house and had dinner. Zack mentioned that he'd been thinking about driving down to our lake place.  We looked at the weather report, and it looked certain that rain would be canceling Saturday's soccer game, so we quickly packed bags & headed out.

It rained a lot Saturday.  But we had fun anyway. Slept in, watched some old VHS tapes (yeah, try explaining the word REWIND to your 7-year-old), had lunch at KFC (William's new fave, we now refer to it as "the old man with the chicken wings"), walked through the mall (takes all of about 10 minutes, since it is a very small mall that is only half occupied), and relaxed a lot.  Then out to dinner with Mom, Tommy & my baby brother at Pickle Barrel - yum! William was thrilled to finish off the day in the hot tub. He's so easy to please!

Sunday was filled with rest, cleaning up the lake house, packing up, visiting with Mom & Tommy, lots of time in the car, lots of laundry, and grocery shopping.

Zack & William accompanied me to the grocery store. While their presence always causes our spending to increase a bit, I so enjoy them going with me. Don't ask me why, but it's just fun to stroll the aisles and be together.

Now we're back into another week, packed full once again. Soccer tonight, church tomorrow night. And we have some very special visitors arriving on Thursday. If you've followed our blog for at least a year, you've likely read about them before. Will post more about that later this week :)

Well Hello, Stranger! I have missed visiting your blog. I have glanced at your posts in our dashboard, so I feel like I know a little of what has been going on in your family, but it is still not the same! I am so excited that the countdown is so close for your submission! Wow, has it gone by faster for you a second time? I'm sure it is all relative. Glad you enjoyed down time, that is so necessary! Have a great rest of the week! Jen
