Volleyball tournament, homecoming and Aquinasfest. Whew!

We had a Friday/Saturday tournament. The team played so well Friday, they ended up in the gold bracket. We went to bingo at church Friday night. Then, Anastasia played the first game Saturday before we had to leave for Homecoming in Fort Worth with her best buddy, Carolyn. Cecilia came with us, and she and I spent some time with friends and shared a hotel room. We left early the next morning to make it back for our parish festival Sunday!

I didn't manage to get any photos Sunday...just memories!

Happy Birthday

Dad/Pawpaw turned 88! After a whirlwind weekend, we celebrated at our house with a nice dinner and chocolate pie for dessert.

More volleyball

We had games last night and tonight, both out of town. Lito was able to come to the one last night since it was really close to their house, and we enjoyed watching the team win in 3 sets. Tonight we lost in 2 sets but at least it got us out earlier. The gym a/c was terrible and it was over 100 degrees outside!

Victorian Ball

We had a few doing other things (Mustang sports dance for Anastasia, lifeguarding for Stephen and resting on the couch for Austin!), but some of us really enjoyed the biannual ball last night! We had a little group of girls get ready at our house beforehand.

Volleyball season is back!

We started this week with long practices and ended it with two days of scrimmages. Anastasia got a lot of playtime, and it was so good to see her in her game again. I rarely see her smile as much as when she is playing volleyball!

4-H Annual Cake Show!

 We spent a busy two days baking and decorating as usual. Sebastian set a goal of winning biggest cake this year, and he succeeded! It was quite a production. The other cakes turned out beautifully but didn't win any awards this year. 

Games of Texas

 Our two lifeguards working for the city of Bryan this year are helping with Games of Texas this weekend. It is a busy schedule. They were both assigned to the swim meet and saw many of our friends whose kids were in the meet!
