The EbbTide

The other night my younger son and I were cleaning the kitchen…he asks, may have this water bottle?  I said sure….and open it for him….a few minutes later he asks me, is it “Spring?”….to which I responded, no, it is fall… his response is sadness and a dissappointed awwwwwwwwwwwww….  to which I now ask, what is wrong?  His response – it is not spring so I can’t have this water as he puts it down and it fighting tears…see it says “Spring Water” and it is not Spring, it is Fall so I can’t drink it………………  it was all I could do to contain my laughter….as I proceeded to explain the many meanings of the word spring….  ahhh, the challenges of a young reader who reads a  lot more words than he should……

It has been a busy and wonderful weekend.

We spent all day yesterday at soccer games.   The first game was in a drizzle after some major rain.  it was sloshy and messy.  We tied that game.  The next game was a tough one – boys played well but we lost 3 – 0.  The last game was the best game – most evenly matched – fun to watch….but we lost it 3-2.  It was a fun day at the field anyway – we were able to come home between games so that was nice.

Today we went to First Baptist for baptism for our son’s best friend.  It was very special.  We joined his family and friends for a wonderful lunch at his grandparents house.  During lunch, I was reminded yet again – it is indeed a small world.  I noticed one of the ladies was very familiar, but just could not place her.  Then introductions all around…it started coming back.  As we were eating, I was able to confirm that it was a former teacher of mine from NWR.  Very neat. The incredible part is that she is great friends with my son’s friend’s mom.  It IS a small, small world after all………………………….

Trying out the iPhone wordpress app. Had to update wordpress for it to work, thanks MediaTemple for making that a breeze!

What a day.  I was involved in my first wreck today…..first wreck with me driving.  Ugh…what a headache.  It was not my fault, and I am OK.  The other drive and occupants are OK.  Van is at the shop and I am in a rental.  No kids with me…. just me, myself and I ….on the normal commute to work.  I drive that way every day….can’t avoid it ….. couldn’t have avoided it today….it just happened……………..life happens……………..

glad to be home ….safe and sound………………………blessings and hug those babies…you just never know.
