Our weekend consisted of:

One beta fish funeral—James was being helpful and cleaned the fishbowls. And as it was hot, he thought an ice cube would be just the thing. Oh dear. We’ll miss you Rainy Day!

Time at the park with C. and kids—There is nothing I enjoy better in summer than catching up with old friends. Not that that you are old, dear C, but it was a delight to see you and the kids and hear about the miracles in your life! The boys are growing so quickly. And, it was lovely to hold Baby K!

A concert with Sean’s parents—Saturday night was the quintessential summer evening! An outdoor summer concert, peaches & cream pie, a glass of wine and good conversation. Sean was missed, but even so, I enjoy spending time with his parents.

Successful altar serving experience—James has been frustrated with altar serving and convinced he can do nothing right. (Not that anyone has told him this; it is his own self-criticism.) Sunday evening he finally felt competent. Yes!

I saw 4 former students at mass on Sunday evening, which is always a pleasure. T. is off to Cornell as an English/Chem major! I’m not sure what this means, but I’m delighted! :)

Sean is settling in up at camp. He loves it, and is excited about the next two weeks and I'm glad for him. Will update, but it sounds like communication will be sporadic.

It will be a quiet week for me—James is at church camp this week as a volunteer, and I have a few scattered tutoring appointments and teacher meetings. The dance studio is closed until after Labor Day, so my evenings are my own. I’m looking forward to long walks with Cinnamon and then a good book….
