Winding Down...to wind up

Yet another week has passed. We have managed to keep very busy this week with football, Pack Meeting, Court of Honor, Relief Society Garden Party, more football, yard work, house work, and other work. The kids seem to be excited to start school, especially Mason. He is social and ready to get back to his friends. Tanner must have a better idea of what is in store. He isn’t as excited.


After our Relief Society Garden Party on Tuesday, we delivered Yi to the West’s home. We were sad to drop her off but her and Lucy both agreed that having a bit more space and privacy would be better. Yi returned to enjoy Pack Meeting with us on Wednesday and a BBQ with our friends on Saturday.

Lucy continues to spoil us with her kindness and generosity. She made yummy dinner for us on Friday (Chinese soup, rice, vegetables and shrimp) and we came home from church to delicious fried rice. She brought such a sweet and calming influence into our home. We need that. I hope we are giving her back a portion of what we are getting.

Tanner had his first football scrimmage this week. His team won and he played well. It is fun to see him in his new positions and will be fun to watch him continue to improve over the rest of the season. I sort of got used to him doing much of nothing last year on the offensive line. I am not sure that will be the case as much this year. It all depends on which Tanner shows up. When he wants it, that kid can do anything. When he doesn’t want it, don’t even bother because that same determination shows up.

Still can’t figure out the picture thing. Oh well. We aren’t that cute anyway.
