Weekend Review

I just got back from taking Helmut to the airport. He was here for a quick weekend visit and now is off to London again. It was fun to have him here, but quite stressful to cram two plus weeks of Dad time into just one weekend. This trip looks like it will be even longer. He is scheduled to be in London until October 13th and then has a meeting in Aberdeen, Scotland. We are hoping after that he will be able to come home and get us all ready to move. There are a few loose ends he has to be here for at the end, which should take a week or so. We talked it over and decided we would leave for The Netherlands after Josh finishes his football season. That gives us a definite date and we can just make more definite plans.

We had a good weekend. My parents came down from Dallas to see us for one last goodbye (after the last time they just thought was the last goodbye). We had dinner at Del Pueblo, went to Josh’s football practice, watched some football and baseball and did some shopping. It is always fun to have them. They are the two most laid back people I know, which makes them the perfect houseguests.

On Sunday night we went to Rebecca’s 9th birthday party. There was lots of good food, lots of people, and the kids had lots of fun. I took this picture of the big cousins out in the cul de sac. I can’t believe how old they all are getting…
