Swim lessons started back up this week for the kids. Unfortunately, Missy graduated to a new level last time so she and Alex have classes at different times...5:45-6:30 and 6:30-7:00 on Mondays, which is quite inconvenient since Beth has Bible study Monday nights. So the kids have gotten to visit the youth center, which they look forward to since it has a Wii. Tuesday there was a meeting for joining Cub Scouts, which Alex was really excited about. We went to the meeting and he seemed to really enjoy it, so we're going to stay with it. Also this week was school pictures...and Alex got his new glasses just in time for them. He picked them out himself, and he looks a bit like Buddy Holly. But it works for him. Beth had a lingerie shower to go to Friday, Alex had soccer Saturday (some confusion about what time the game was...I had a deacon's meeting in the morning [which was more about installing the playground equipment], and Beth got the game time wrong and showed up an hour early, calling me back from the meeting to hurry and get there, only to find out that it was older kids in the white shirts playing there). We got Alex some soccer socks after the game because he seemed to really need them. Also today was Jenny's wedding. We went to the reception at a sport club somewhere out near Bourbon, which was very nice. Alex was a bit bored though, so we went for a walk outside and he discovered the skeet launchers, which for some reason were still turned on.
