We had a very fun day at DJ's birthday party. My little darlings were in this pool for nearly four hours. Although the temperature was quite warm (edging toward 90 degrees), the water was pretty icy and they were shivering violently, but still refused to get out. They were very cute and all the children got along remarkably well. I hope the birthday boy had as much fun as we did. (Thanks again for inviting us Jennifer!). I found out today that Amanda's baby came yesterday, four weeks early. Our thoughts and prayers are with little baby boy Nipper. For those of you with prayer chains or take requests, my uncle had a heart attack on Thursday and isn't doing very well. We are still waiting for a date for Matthew. I went into the office yesterday and they told me the date they have is 1 Oct. That can change at any time, of course. That gives him very little time to clear. I can do most of the legwork, but that is a quite the time cruncher. For my moment of zen today, I put the children to bed and was able to mow. I then proceeded to sit outside in my Adirondack chair and enjoy the half moon and the smell of fresh cut grass. Ahhhhhhh!
