the sweetness of summer

Summer is ending...the sweetness lingers as we remember some fun times and special memories.  I've loved our quiet mornings and relaxed pace.  That will soon change.  The boys played in our neighborhood basketball league.  They did amazing.  The 4-5th grade teams are very good.  It was never Russell's intention to coach, however there were not enough coaches.  Their team had no one.  With the help of several Dads, they worked really hard and ended the 6 week season with 3 wins, 3 losses.  In the playoffs, they won kept winning their brackets...3 games back to back.  No wonder they were tired for the championship game.  It was so, so fun watching them play together as a team.  Proud of each one of them!

 After their last game (minus 4 players)

 In Trevin's league they are just learning basketball.  It was great to see improvement.  No scores were kept at the games, but Benjamin kept track of points & updated Trevin on all their wins.  :)

 Our last visit with our wonderful sister workers.

 Andy's frozen custard....great taste, cold, refreshing, but too sweet for me!

A quick trip to Houston to hang out with these great friend.  We even got to help Mr. Paul set up for gospel meeting.
