Friday Five: Donuts, Sunsets and Public Speaking

I almost forgot my Friday 5 today, as this morning definitely did not start as planned.  Here are 5 thoughts and 5 pictures to recap the week.

5 Thoughts

1. Today all the kids woke up the normal time, ate breakfast but then Ryder started saying his stomach hurt.  Laying around crying type hurt.  I got the throw-up bowl ready, almost positive it was going to be utilized.  Got the other two off the school, only for the morning to progress with not only no throw-up, but really questioning why I didn't send Ryder to school.  He is not a faker, never has been, so I truly think something was hurting his stomach this morning, but he totally could have went to school.  I think that is often one of the hardest calls as a parent, when to send them and when to keep them home.

2. Alex's soccer season started off great with two wins for her team.  I really do hope they have a great season as they are such a great group of girls.

3. We actually got back to eating the alphabet this month, we are cutting it close for finishing it this year.  It really has been such a fun experience though!

4. This last Saturday I had a photo shoot at the beach, Alex came with to be my assistant and keep me company on the ride out there.  I think if we lived closer to the beach I would be out there almost every evening just to watch the sunset.

5. This weekend I am speaking in church.  I really don't mind it, and over the years have become more and more comfortable with it.  One of the congregations I am speaking in is actually a Tongan Congregation though, most do speak English, but part of the service is in Tongan, so that will be very different.
