The Pattersons

Our friends the Pattersons came to town last week. We were so excited to see them, it has been almost a year. They used to live in our neighborhood and moved to the Houston area a couple of years ago. We miss them. Andrew and Luke are a couple months apart. Then comes Jack, Jake, and Emma. The boys had so much fun.

Soccer Practice

Luke had his first soccer practice last week. He loves it he really takes it quite seriously. Here are a few of his comments.. If I get tired, I will tell my coach I need a drink. I will go into the tunnel, get a drink and run back out. He thinks he is going to play professional sports and the players run out of tunnels.

At breakfast the day before practice, this was our conversation...

Luke: Is tomorrow my first practice

Beth: yes

Luke: I am so excited, are you going to watch me?

Beth: of course

Luke: I am only nervous about one part of soccer.

Beth: What part is that?

Luke: The winning part.

He wants to win at practice as well as his games. I don't even know how he know what nervous means. He is so funny!!

National Night Out

Tuesday night, we had a National Night Out party last minute. A few of us girls had a girl's night last week and decided to do a party on our street. It was a lot of fun. Jake loved McGruff and we all know what Luke thinks about the fireman. He is determined to be one when he grows up. We are so blessed to have such wonderful neighbors and friends.

Tricia's Baby Shower

We are all awaiting the arrival of Baby Katy. We had a fun baby shower for Tricia last Thursday night. Friday night I stayed up all night watching guard over the big garage sale that happened on Saturday to raise money for my 3 day walk. We had so much fun hanging out all night, even though I ended up with 40+ mosquito bites just on my legs. We raised almost 5K to go towards our walk. There are 12 of us walking this year. we have to raise 2200 each to even participate. I was pretty tired after the gsale, so we did not do anything Saturday night. Sunday night we went to a couple's shower for baby Katy. We can't wait to meet baby Katy, only 3 weeks left!!
