Happy Birthday Sarah!

We called the birthday girl at 0700 and sang happy birthday. She soundedtired, but very happy to hear from us. Later today I spoke with her briefly, and she is having a good day and has received many good wishes. She is very thankful. I sent her a box of goodies yesterday and she was glad to receive it today! I like how efficient our mail is in Greenville. They are spoiling us.

Backing up a little, we won four points in bowling on Sunday. That should help us stay in 3rd place. Who knows, maybe we will move up! I have been busy trying to catch up on the little things and church things that got tabled when we went to Mackinac. I am just about up to date. whew! Chimes went well last night. We have a fun and determined team. I am down to one load of laundry to fold and preparing for children's choir that takes place tomorrow.

This week is busy in its own. Matt has 2 soccer games. Mary has play practice. by the way, she was promoted to a "better" role in the musical. It was a male part, but he quit, so they changed it to a female role and gave it to Mary. It has more lines and stage time. There is a home football game on Friday. I work tomorrow and Friday and quilt and give piano lessons on Thursday.

Saturday will have it's challenges as well. Matt has a soccer game in Big Rapids (1 hour away), there is orchestra practice at church on Sat 1000. Sarah has a softball game and picnic starting at 11 am. Then there is the annual tug of war at Hope at 3pm and a home football game that Sarah is working at that evening at 7 pm. We wanted to take her for dinner, but it looks like it will be late night McDonalds instead. That made her happy, because she hasn't had McD's for a long time. So it looks like our schedule will look something like this:
  • Matt to soccer game by HS bus.
  • Orchestra Practice 10am at MCLC
  • Pick up Matt at Soccer game in Big Rapids ASAP
  • Drive to Holland for end of picnic and tug of war (The Pull) start time 3pm
  • Kill time before the football game, which starts at 7 and then treat Sarah to McDonalds before returning home.
  • Church the next morning!

I guess busy is definitely in our vocabulary. Like I said previously, we'll just keep plugging along. That is all the news. Don't forget to check out the Family Photos. I just added a few more.
