The Weekend That Was

What did you do with your weekend? I know that it is now Tuesday but it has taken this long to sit down and write a little bit.

I'll start with Friday. Declan carried on the streak of Lademann children going under general anaesthetic for some kind of medical procedure. He had surgery on his, um..., "man parts". One of his boys had gone out for a bit and had not come home, so to speak. The doctor went in and brought the rogue back and tied him down. Jett now has what has been referred to as a "bobber" dangling from his under carriage until Friday. He is doing well now and we are struggling to keep him from being his regular active self while he continues to recover.

On Saturday, Brady and I traveled to Mt. Olive, North Carolina so he could play in an indoor soccer tournament. The Port City Storm Black team went 3-0 in group play and earned a spot in the U10 Championship game. It was a tough game against a good Real Raleigh team but Port City prevailed 2-1 in the end. The unique first place prize, because we were just a few miles from the Mt. Olive Pickle factory, was a jar of Mt. Olive Pickle Spears and a Mt. Olive College Soccer t-shirt. We had a great time and it was nice to spend a day with my oldest son.

Saturday also had Rachel doing her first official Gracie Girls Boutique home party. She and her business partner packed up their bows, bags and accessories for little girls and headed out to make a little money. They sold quite a bit of their inventory and left their customers very happy.

Sunday really was a day of needed rest and recovery for all of us. Church was good and it was nice to just chill for a minute. I love our life but down time occasionally is a good thing.

Peace.
