The Week in Review

Ok, so I have been busy and not able to get on and post. Hopefully the update will explain my crazy weekend and week so far. On to last weekend....

Saturday~ Jake had a football game that was in the middle of nowhere. Well not really, it was in Hiram. Hiram is a country town west of Marietta. Not sure how they are even in our league. Regardless, it was a less than desirable field, with concrete steps for seats, a grass field yet dirt lawn for spectators and just run down. This should have been a country team with nothing to do but play football. They should have been fantastic! We won 33-0. It was a spanking! After the game I ran some errands and then it was dinner and bedtime. That day was a bit of a blur.


Sunday~ Church at 8am! Actually 7:30. I had a meeting before mass about Jacob being introduced to the church and the OCIC program. He had to led into the church behind the alter boys and was so nervous. He wasn't sure where to go, what to do, so in a very stiff, my hands are in my pocket don't look at me style, he did great! Father Bailey preceded over the mass. Now, Father Bailey is known as Father Crunk on the radio. He is so down to earth and with the times. Totally not your holier than thou priest who isn't aware of real life. During mass Jake recieved a cross and bible. He was very excited. So, in two years he will be a confirmed Catholic.
After mass, we had biscuits and donuts in the hall at church. Again, Jake was so excited! Later that day we had a party to go to. We went to meet some other Venezuelans here at a party for their son's 1st birthday. It was nice to be in the mix with good food, lots of kids, music, and dominos. Emily had no issues. She was in her elemnet. Crawling from room to room socializing. She even stood at the coffee table eating snacks. Too funny. Later that night we went to one of our favorite restuarants for dinner. The boys were being goofy and loud....of course. Jonathan ran into a friend he hadn't seen in almost a year, and was like, "dude, what's up!" Yeah...14 years old.




Monday~ Emily and I went to Northpoint to meet Dixie and Ian and have lunch. These two little ones are so funny. They try to talk to each other and even rode on the carasouel together. I am so grateful for my good friend Dixie! Later that night was Jake's religious ed class.


Tuesday~ Cleaning and football practice! Only one month left!

Yesterday~ My mom came over and watched my nephew Paxton here. She helped me make masitas de puero. It was pretty much a normal day except for more cooking ans Emily had a playmate. She even snuck into my room where Paxton was suppose to be sleeping. There she was standing at the playpen chatting away. I think they were plotting an escape plan. Jonathan had religious ed tonight too. Gus loved dinner....it was a great night for him. Pork...ice cream. Lucky guy. He asked me what I wanted to buy, like I was plotting my own plan. Hmmmm?


Today~ Well I have a basket to put together for the silent auction at Jake's school. I also am planning on heading over to perimeter for lunch with Gus and for Emily to have some daddy time. Hopefully I can get out of the house within the next two hours. Oh, and there is football practice tonight too.

Overall, busy week...more to come....Jake's birthday party tomorrow, homecoming Saturday, and birthday Sunday!
