As we are getting ready to begin another epic weekend here at the house, I figure it is about time to update from last weekend.
Saturday I took a group from work to Richmond to participate in the Ordination Liturgy. A young man from my parish was ordained a transitional deacon at the liturgy, so it was really cool to see. Of course, being at a liturgy where there were easily 100 priests, deacons and 3 bishops in attendance is always a cool thing to participate in. Bishop DiLorenzo gave an outstanding homily, which I could go on for days about, but anyway…I was in Richmond, Shane was on T-Rex duty at home, end of story.
Shane took Trevor out to the VB convention center for the train and toy expo and Trevor was in heaven! From what I have gotten from Shane (as we all know, life at the Chapman household is a never-ending game of 20 questions) there were a lot of trains, all set up for Trevor to look at. There were even big trains that Trevor could blow the horn on too. The end. You’d think that I would be better at the questions game after all this time…
Sunday I was right back to work in the morning, and Shane was serving soup kitchen afterwards. Shane’s cousin Keaton just got stationed here, so he came over on Sunday afternoon and stayed until Monday when we took him back to the base. Shane was really happy to have him around. That afternoon, we thought we would take advantage of the still nice-ish weather and meet our friends Laura, Mike and their daughter Caylee at Mt. Trashmore. I forgot the camera in the car, but our park time was short-lived, because in the 20 minutes it took us to get there it dropped from 70 degrees to a windy 55. BRRRR! We ended up moving our little get-together to the nearby coffee shop for hot chocolate.
Tomorrow we start tearing apart our bathroom for real (there was some talk about doing it a few weekends ago) so wish us luck!
