The Monday Morning Blog

Its been another "action packed" weekend at the Nord abode. Here's some highlights:

I took Friday off and played nine holes of golf with a very patient Daniel Carr. I can pitch and putt okay, but my slice is killer.

Saturday, we packed up the kids and went to Nashville's first ever Free For All event. Sponsored the same folks that do Freecycling, the idea was for people to bring stuff to exchange. Unfortunately, we waited in a long line for almost an hour and most of the stuff was absolute junk. Taylor found a Christmas ornament and Addy found a Monsters Inc. toy. As a reward for the kids' endurance, we made an ice cream run afterwards.

Then we did the bi-monthly family shopping trip at Sam's. As usual we bought more items than were on our list and feasted on samples.

Our church rented out a community swimming pool Saturday evening for a Luau. Highlights include Addy (our resident 2 year old thrillseeker) jumping off the diving board three times without a flotation device. She had help from her dad, but is able to swim short distances underwater. Her older sister isn't so brave, but is making some progress as well. Janell and I enjoyed several games of volleyball with the adults - Volleyball has become the sport of choice at our church with games every Sunday evening as well.

I have heard from a few of you this weekend. Thanks for the comments. I will try to post pictures of the girls sometime this week.
