Tee Time

Yesterday Charles and I went to watch Patrick as he played golf. Check out the new wheels we used for our little outing:

I love our jogging stroller. We recently used the last of our gift cards to purchase it last week. I have used it almost everyday since we got it. It made walking the golf course so much easier. Boy oh boy I got my exercise yesterday. Charles and I walked from the house to the golf course .7 miles, and then we made it through 7 holes before having to head back to feed Charles his supper. So 1.4 miles round trip plus walking the golf course.

While we were waiting on Patrick at each hole this is what I read. I just don't really understand golf. I can never see where the ball lands after being hit of the tee. Pretty much I am clueless when it comes to golf. I go to spend time with Patrick. In other news: I have had a hard time putting this book down since I started it.  I can't think of how to give a summary without spoiling it--just try it and let me know what you think.

I guess I should read this book in order to understand what is going on when I go watch Patrick play. Maybe I would like golf more. At this point in my life I have no desire to ever play the game but it would be nice to know what in the world is going on.

Pumpkin Patch

Today was a fun day to reward ourselves for all the hard work we accomplished lately in the house. We spent the day with our friends the Egli's at the Pumpkin Patch. On the way back the guys plotted to go play golf. All the boys went and played and the girls stayed at the house to chat and cook. It was a very nice day had by all. By the way folks the girls have plotted to go shopping Friday afternoon and leave the kids with the menfolks! Here are some really cute pictures of the trip today. Lets face it though it is mainly of the kids because they are a lot more cute than us grown ups.The little ones with their pumpkin find.
Our friends

I just thought Patrick pulling the kids and the pumpkins to be to precious to leave out.

Tournament Win

Patrick sporting some of his spoils from being part of the winning team in the tournament! He also received a gift certificate for a local restaurant(The Market on 30) for guessing the closest number of tees in the cup, and last but not least for the team winning he got a gift certificate for a foursome to play golf at the Carroll Country Club (range balls and cart included).

Social Butterfly

This weekend has been a blast! I feel like a social butterfly lately. Friday night we went out to eat with Michael and Kim then played Scene It and some other really fun game. We had Chinese food which was quite good if you were wondering.
Saturday was a day of rest: Wal-Mart, a movie on t.v., a nap, and knitting for me. For Patrick it was go hit golf balls at the driving range while I was napping and then come back home only to get bored because he can't sit still. So, he decides to go back and play a game of golf. He meets up with some teacher friends (the best kind right folks), and plays 9 holes of golf with them. He even got me to come out and watch about 4 holes! After that we went to celebrate a friend's birthday and have some great hamburgers with all the fixings.
Today we had a great Sunday School lesson over the Burning Bush. We are studying the book of Exodus which has already been very insightful and we have only covered the first 4 chapters. Learning to listen to God's calling, and watching how God takes care of his people. Also, how He uses the least likely. He will and wants to use us all. Wow! The workings of God are amazing. The main lesson today in Big Church was enlightening too. It was over Mark 8: 27-38. The key points that I got were: 1) Jesus wanted more than a textbook answer for who he was and is. 2) It is the head and heart that needs repair, for our tongue speaks what is in our head and heart. 3) There are no shortcuts to spirituality. It takes time! Lots to ponder right.
After Church we relaxed a little and then I went to a Jewelry Party with my friend Nicole, and Patrick went to play in a fundraiser golf tournament.
