A Whirlwind Weekend

It's an understatement to say that October has been a busy month. Scott has done two weddings. The kids are playing soccer and softball. Katie is rehearsing for her school play. We have work and school. I have a book fair coming up this week. There are also the different ministry things that come up and take time. Anyway, to add to the excitement, Scott double-booked himself this past weekend. He agreed to speak at a youth pastor's retreat and also officiate at a wedding for members of our church. Unfortunately these opportunities were about 2 hours away from each other. Needless to say we enjoyed both things this weekend. There was a bit more time spent in the van than we would have liked. (The retreat was in Dana Point and the wedding back in Oak Glen.) We were blessed to be able to spend that time with our friend, Jeff (who also double-booked!). We passed the time in the car talking, laughing and even singing. What an amazing story he has, too! We left the kids home (with Katie in charge) and they did great. Kamryn even filled in as the tooth fairy for Troy. :) We begin this week very blessed, but also a little tired. Thankfully there's only one more week of October, right?

This was a highlight of our weekend for me. A wonderful Sunday noon meal in Dana Point with wonderful staff and spouses from The River!
Had to include the self portrait of us on our early morning beach walk.
