this week

We have had such a busy week. I am so ready for school to be done and have a more relaxed schedule. Monday Kate got home from Mexico! We were so excited to have her back home and sat listened to ALL the details of her trip. She took some fun pictures and videos. It's too bad that her trip has been overshadowed by this flu stuff. I think people are WAY overreacting to it all. People die in the US every year from the regular flu and we don't even hear about it. So that's my two cents worth. Instead of being asked about her trip she gets asked if she is feeling okay...
Anyway, she had a WONDERFUL trip, and I think it has strengthened her desire do more mission trips. She was bummed that her first stamp on her passport didn't even show up! She said the stamp pad was dry. We had standardized tests this week in school and then today we had our annual 5K fundraiser. It was little rainy, but that it's okay. It wasn't cold. I'd rather be a little wet than suffocatingly hot, like last Sat.
What's for dinner tonight?? I just finished watching the movie No Reservations...LOVED IT!! I want to go buy it. Last weekend I was making black bean salsa and thought, "this is beautiful food!" It has so many different colors in it. I'm in the mood for some really good Italian food, good music, and good wine....and good company. What can I come up with? Does anyone want to join me?
Another subject...baseball. Both boys are playing this year. This is Jacob's first time playing Little League. The little boys in the outfield get tired of standing out there waiting for the ball and so some of them just sit down, until the coach yells for them to stand up. It's so funny.
Jonathan's is a little more serious, but also sooooo much fun to watch. They are pretty competitive and exciting games. I wish his grandparents could see him play. He had a game on Tues. night and it such a perfect evening as far was weather goes. They lost the game, but David and I enjoyed sitting in our chairs watching the game, feeling the warm evening breeze. Jonathan really loves baseball and has now become a Phillies fan in the past few years. His father tried to warn him about straying away from the Braves telling him that they have lost more games than any other professional team in any sport. He warned him that he would get his heart broken over and over, but the son would not heed the wise counsel of his father. He listens to the games every night and gets on the computer and keeps up with it. Jonathan ran his first 5K this morning. He didn't even practice, just went out there and did it! Bravo!
Well, better go fix some dinner!
