august 21

we attended our 3rd and final calvary chapel outdoor service and celebration at centennial park today.  every year our neighbors invite us, and every year we go.  i usually enjoy listening to walt's sermon, and kevin usually oversees the kids playing in the kids' group.  today kevin golfed first thing in the morning so the kids and i headed to the service, and i ended up at the playground instead of the service.  kevin surprised us by meeting up with us there and we were all able to enjoy a nice picnic lunch together.  the kids rode the water slide this year for the first time and loved it.  it took brooke 3 years to get comfortable with the idea, but she finally did it :)

my sweet neighbor jolene is 2 weeks overdue with her 6th! baby, and i learned today that her brother just passed away.  such terrible news.  i offered to help in any way i can, and it turned out that i was able to babysit their kids tonight so walt and jolene could have some time alone before the baby comes.  i took brooke and gavin next door with me, and gavin had so much fun playing with their 3 boys (age 6, 4 and 2).  i have always loved to see the way their boys interact and play with each other, and gavin fit in perfectly.  i was happy to have the time with their kids tonight.  they are a very special family.
