Busy Weekend

Busy, busy, busy but a great weekend! Mark Thomas was supposed to have his first camp out with his new Troop but some crazy northeast Texas weather swept through so it got canceled. But there's no disappointment in this house, not with Mark for a Dad. So he and MT camped out on the back porch. Lit a fire in the gas fireplace and plugged in the radio to listen to the Rangers win the AL Championship! Then the next day it was Raingutter Regatta time! Mark and the boys had mastered the design of Pinewood Derby cars so the boats were new to us but MT got 4th place. He was already mapping out his design for next year on his way home.

Then we went to Carson's soccer game. She plays for FC Dallas, a premier club here in the metroplex and she's so fun to watch! Her skills are fabulous and every year she just gets better and better. I had wanted to get some good pics of her but again the weather blew through and the game was called off before of a tornado in the area.
......
Then we did a little laundry....Whiskers likes to lounge in the craziest of places but the blankets were warm so I she decided to just get comfy.

And then on Sunday Max had an opportunity of a lifetime to perform with the choir at Grace at the Youth Choir Festival. It was held at St. Andrews United Methodist church and there were 600 teenagers who sang their praises to the Lord. One of the many blessings we have experienced in this move has been the youth choir. Every Sunday during the early service we have a 90 member youth choir who sings. They practice once a week and then in the summer travel on choir tour. This summer they're heading out west and will stop along the way to see the Grand Canyon as well as other attractions. Max has really enjoyed it. I had to buy him some new black slacks and a white dress shirt since he just keeps growing and growing but he looked so handsome! Of course I'm biased but he's something else. Quite the charmer.

The director, Dr. Anton Armstrong, from St. Olaf College did an amazing job presenting a concert of 6 songs. The kids were there from 1:30-5:15 and you would have thought they'd been practicing for months. Of course our choir director had done a great job preparing our kids too! But listening to them all sing was so heavenly, like listening to a chorus of angels.

And last but not least, the moon. It was simply stunning. I could get very close with my telephoto lens but it still did not do it justice.
