A couple of weeks ago Katelyn was baptised. My family and Lisa's family all arrived on Saturday and we all met at Shawn's tee ball game. Now everyone understands what I mean about Shawn having Lisa's athletic ability; I still hold out hope for him to break out and show his true athleticism. Of course I don't remember playing sports of any type at 6 years old so there's still time for him to improve and show interest. It's to the point that every time someone throws the ball in his direction, I close my eyes and hope that he doesn't get hit in the head! Somehow I got talked into helping out with coaching the kids too but I'm finding that I actually somewhat enjoy helping. On Sunday we went to mass and then the baptism service followed. After the service it was back to our house to have lunch and visit with family and friends.
Last Thursday we attended Shawn's kindergarten graduation. Graduation from Kindergarten is also a new experience for me. I don't remember graduation ceremonies of any type except for High School and College commencements and I don't remember too much about the one from College due to the excessive amounts of adult beverages I consumed the previous night. Anyway, the Kindergarten ceremony was very cute. The 4 classes sang about 4 songs and went up to accept their certificate of achievement followed by a coffee and cookie reception. I can't believe that I have a first grader now!
Lisa's birthday was last Saturday so she and I decided to travel to Plymouth Michigan to stay at a rather nice hotel and to relax. The hotel, The inn at St. Johns, used to be a monastery and is still used for many Catholic weddings and various other functions. The hotel was really nice and the grounds were beautiful. The restaurant was also very nice although we didn't eat dinner there we did have a few drinks and an appetizer which was very good. Lisa and I then spent Sunday morning having brunch in Ann Arbor at Weber's Inn and then shopping for awhile before heading home to attend a Mudhen's game.
This weekend we are thinking about spending the day at Soak City at Cedar Point with some friends of ours and their family but really are still undecided. On Friday Lisa and I are going to a local fundraiser at the zoo called Zoo to Do. Its basically a black-tie with shorts affair at the zoo where a number of the local restaurants and caterers make food samples available and there is live entertainments as well as plenty of beverages. This year's theme is Morphed to coincide with the new butterfly exhibit at the zoo. It's absolutely impossible to find a piece of men's clothing that has butterflies on it!
Work has been a bit busy for me lately working through a number of new projects dealing with new vendors and products and with a couple of larger potential clients. So all in all, our summer has started out pretty busy.
Well that pretty much catches you up with what's been happening the last few weeks. Here's some updated pictures:
