To the lake we don't go

I had my hopes on going to the lake twice last week. One trip was cancelled due to another family’s scheduling conflict that came up unexpectedly. Then on Saturday we were invited to a birthday party/day at the lake. It rained and was so cloudy, we didn’t swim but had a fun time at the lake, meeting new friends too:) The kids had a fun time playing. We had our first taste of Cambodian food. I always enjoy trying new food from other cultures. I didn’t ask anyone for the recipes. Then later that evening we had a family from church over. We played a couple games; I think my team always lost which is very unusual for me...hehehe! During dinner we were on the subject of playing musical instruments and it was mentioned that someone had wanted to play the drums. I had to fess up that I had wanted to play the drums when I was a kid also, because I liked the drummer from the band KISS. I believe I shocked the kids at the table; we all had a good laugh. It is so hard to imagine how other people view you and your what you are like, I guess it is a good thing that the kids couldn’t imagine me liking someone from the band KISS or is it?

We finally had our new patio door installed. Rexford blogged about it here:

It is really nice! Thank you Jeanne and Bob.

New Link

Check out the new link I just added. Our Wing Chun School. Wing Chun is no where near as fun as Tae Kwon Do. It is like lifting weights, while I am lifting I usually say to myself why am I doing this??? It is really hard work. Tae Kwon Do is hard also but in a different way. HI-YAH

Last week's stuff

Yes, we have our laptop working and a new wireless mouse! I went to the desktop computer once while we were without the laptop. I know this is all so important:) We are thinking about getting a firearm. It seems like a big expense. We would need to take classes to carry a gun around with us. We would take the classes regardless though. We have finally found a decent medical clinic to take the kids to. A lady from church recommended the clinic to me and I really like it. I am taking the kids in 2 at a time for their annul check-ups. It is a clinic centered on Jesus Christ, they actually say this!!! Talk about refreshing, I feel so comfortable there because right away we are on the same page with the doctor we see.

Winnie is taking obedience classes. She is on week 4. I am not sure if I have blogged about this before. I have short term memory. She is doing well, Isaac is her main teacher and he is doing excellent.

On Saturday Rex and I went a funeral. A lady at my homeschool co-op lost her baby, she was 37 weeks pregnant. Abigail Elizabeth was alive for 30 minutes on earth. I have not been to many funerals, this one was a Christian funeral and the gospel was pressed during the service. It was a very sobering time, and it helps us to remember the brevity of life.
