Recent Happenings and Week 26 bUmPDATE

Had an excellent weekend celebrating the end of single-ness for Brooklyn. They started Friday with a fun day on the lake, but I spent Friday with Jason and then joined the festivities Friday evening at Shar's. Saturday involved sleeping in, lingerie shower, delicious Japanese supper, and then Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, where luckily, if you are the pregnant designated driver, you get all the free water you can drink! After a brief search for the vehicle and a bit of navigational confusion (thank you Ft. Worth roadways) we all made it home safely! The girls all slept in but I of course was wide awake at 7:15, so I got myself up and joined Jason and family at church and then lunch. Now I'm back at camp on a lovely Monday morning preparing for the arrival of our next camp this afternoon. Less than three weeks of camp remain. Let's hope it goes by fast!
