A family weekend
Categories: Personal
Sarah and I capped a weekend spent with family by hearing from the doctor this morning: no new family member this week. So, we're still waiting. If there has been no change by next Monday, we'll starting thinking about inducing.
Friday Sarah and I watched The Prestige, which was lots of fun. The movie looked cool, had an interesting structure, and Christian Bale was awesome, as usual. Someone needs to put him in a role where he can get noticed by the Academy. Plus any movie that has David Bowie as Tesla is good. Still I think I liked The Illusionist better, albeit only slightly.
Saturday we went into Charlotte to watch my cousin, Shanna, play in a vollyball tournament. Shanna is 14 and plays for a club team in Conway, which was competing in this giant tournament (over 100 teams on 18 courts) at the Charlotte Convention Center. Robert and his kids came as well; it was fun to watch and cheer Shanna on. Dad came into town in the afternoon, so we all cooked out over at Robert's house that evening. We watched some basketball in HD, too.
Sunday was breakfast with Dad, then church, then a quick trip to REI in Pineville. Instead of a daddy diaper bag, I bought a new day pack which will serve diaper and hiking duty. I needed a new one and this was a good reason to get one. We ate lunch at our favorite Mexican place (in Pineville), then chilled out at home for the rest of the day.
