I have so much to write about the last few days as well as fleshing out the full days just before the defense. But let me press on with today to keep the grandparents informed.
While I was awake since 2:30 or so, the morning started with a 6:00 am wake up for Anya and her friend, Annaliese, who had a sleep over. It was the Color Run this morning, a fun 5K run in the Seattle Center area.
We had just enough time to shower before church. Then Anya and I joined the Middleton-Youngs for Mother’s Day brunch at the Pomegranate Bistro in Redmond for a lovely and delicious meal with great friends.
Afternoon naps and some Swedish homework for me and school homework for Anya ended with another rendezvous with the Middleton-Youngs for the hand-made chocolates that I bought at the bistro but wanted to save to enjoy later after our full stomachs had rested a bit.
JaLynn and Kristi just came from the confirmation groups help with Congregations for the Homeless (CFH), which our church hosts each May. Our Tanzania group is helping later this week. (Come back to hear more about CFH, my account of last Friday’s fund-raising dinner, and the upcoming mission teams service.)
With blessings,
Beth
