Another Saturday night

It's been a crazy week. Since my last post, we spent a couple of days getting Emily's school application taken care of. She had to write an essay as part of the application and I had a few pages to fill out as well. We managed to get her application turned in Friday morning. Now we wait to hear back from them as to when they want to do the family interview.

We took the kids to see The Shaggy Dog up in Vacaville this afternoon. It was a cute movie. The kids sure enjoyed it. Afterwards, we looked at a house for rent up there. It was only 4 bedrooms, which wouldn't have been too bad... the rooms were big enough for the boys to share. But the yard wasn't great... had a huge hill that would have been heck to mow, plus the grass was so sparse that I am afraid we would have nothing but mud back there during the rainy season; not a good thing when you have a dog.

I've spent my free time this weekend reading "The Mark of the Lion" series by Francine Rivers. WOW. Really good reading. I think I will have to just work my way through everything she has written. She has a way of making the past come alive.

Looking forward to worship in the morning. Afterwards, we're invited to lunch with one of our shepherds. The kids are excited because he has a new puppy they enjoy playing with.
