happy that the weekend is here

we had a very busy week. Jia had soccer games on Monday and Wednesday, we went to the high school choir concert, Adam took the girls trick or treating and we had a bonfire. We are all pretty exhausted. The good thing is that we have no obligations for the weekend and can regroup and try to catch up.

The fall soccer season has ended so Jia can hang up her cleats for a few months. We will sign both girls up for the spring season. Schwen has been itching to get out on the field since she has been home. I'm considering signing the girls up for basketball as long as it does not interfere with their KCAP classes.

Two of the neighbor boys are in the school choir and show choir so we went to see their fall concert after Jia's game on Wednesday. Jia has been going to band and choir concerts for several years but we were not sure how Schwen would do...no worry...she loved the singing..however,when it came time for the dancing she wanted to go home...yikes..I just purchased tix for the Nutcracker...hope she will be able to sit through the performance.

Adam took the girls to Worthington to go trick or treating...the temp was close to 70 degrees and a perfect night. Schwen enjoyed it all. I took the opportunity to have dinner with my friend Barb and had a good time myself!

It's been like "old home week" for me. Last Sunday we met my friend Patty and her two daughters Kelly and Paige for lunch. They live in Bay Village and were in Columbus for a wedding. Patty and I have been friend since we met at the University of Toledo in 1979. Earlier in the week I had lunch with my friend Debbie who I went to Findlay College with and we had a good time laughing and convincing ourselves that we were not that much different from when we first met 32 years ago!

So far we have all been healthy, which is really good b/c we have not gotten our seasonal flu vaccines. We had planned to go to one of the clinics offered in November by the Delaware Health District. We found out this week that they ran out of the vaccine. The doctors office does not have it either. As far as the H1N1 vaccine...not sure when we can get that either. In the meantime due diligence on preventative measures. I do have two nephews who have or have had the H1N1 virus. One is over it and the other one, who is a college student, has it now.

Happy Halloween
