Chris and I went over our selections for excursions for our Hawaii trip. We have to book them this weekend when we go to Arlington to hang out with the Winkles and Huntley’s. The trip is getting closer. 139 days to go.
Christi
went out and got some pizzas for lunch. Easy way to feed five growing boys
(Micah and Josiah spent the night) and a gorgeous little girl. The rest of the
LaMarque clan arrived shortly after lunch.
Meanwhile,
the big boys broke out their air soft guns and got a battle royale going in the
ravine. They blasted each other for an hour or so then came in for a long
session of video games. I spent the time reading and dozing. Not saying what
percentage of each was involved.
The
ladies took all the Littles to the park for a while. Chris used the opportunity
to get in a two mile walk. I was proud of her. Meanwhile, I drove over and
picked up Kel at their B&B, and we returned for supper back at Josh’s. What
else would we have but ………. Mexican food. This time we had some pretty good
tamales from HEB. Amazing how much variety you can get from the same genre of
food.
Last
night was all about basketball. Zak started with practice at 3 or 4. That was
the easy part. At 7, Luke had practice in a little community about 15 or 20
minutes away. Caleb, however, had a game not far from the house that started at
8. I went with Josh to watch Luke practice. We met up with everyone else at the
game after practice was over. Caleb’s team was down by 18 points at one point
but came back, only to fall just short at 37-29. Caleb played his usual
stifling defense. He played the entire
fourth quarter with four fouls. Good
game, guys.
Luke 6:28 says, “bless those who curse
you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
Father,
please be with the LaMarque crew on their way back home today. Amen.
