The Weekend

Hello,

We did almost have a weekend. Leroy worked only a few hours on Saturday and four hours on Sunday. He did take Friday off, but for maybe a couple hours. Today he did not go to church at all and did not visit anyone. That is as close as we come to having a weekend unless he takes days off. I am grateful for it.

Brian, Jen, Sophia, and Logan made the trip to our house for Saturday and Sunday. It was good to have at least one of our children visit us here and know what our current home is like. It was a long drive for them. It is different to travel with a baby today since stopping is required for each time the child needs something. In my day we did have a car seat, but thought little of taking the child out to feed, diaper, or entertain them. Today people drive faster, but take longer.

We also realized the we are happy to show off our children at church. I am not sure why that is, but it is true. Many people especially enjoyed making Logan smile.

At the house, while Sophia and I were looking out the front window, a deer wandered through, crossed the road, and disappeared into the park. I told her to stay still in the window and not startle it,but that was probably unnecessary. Sunday evening after they had gone Leroy and I walked home from the band concert to find a buck and a doe in our back yard. Leroy waved his arms at them and they did not move. I ran up to the doe and she moved a few feet away. Not much fear there.
