What a great weekend! We left Thursday evening and drove to the in-laws in Burleson, TX. Slept in Friday morning and then decided to go see the 1:00pm showing of "Night at the Museum" #2. It was a good little flick. We ate a late lunch at a hamburger dive (very good homemade patty burgers) with "frings" (fries and rings) and then headed over to the Freestyle Skate Park in Kennedale and watched the boys skateboard and rollerblade. Tyler is getting really good on his skateboard and Austin took the dare and "dropped in" on some serious half pipes with his rollerblades! After a quick trip back to the in-laws to change sweaty clothes we went over to my Moms and hung out with her, then got some yumminess from the Marble Slab.
On Saturday we had a nice breakfast with the in-laws and then celebrated my father-in-law's birthday with a big late lunch and played some badminton in the backyard.
After driving home I had to run up to the church and take care of some last minute preparation for the Sunday service and then came back home to make a quick video for our summer mission trip.
Sunday morning turned out to be a great day. We had special guests "Shiloh" (a Phillips, Craig and Dean-sounding trio from the Dallas area), so we didn't have much to rehearse with the worship team, which made for a very relaxed "pre-service". Our Classic service sang quite a few congregational hymns, we prayed for families who had lost loved ones in the military as well as our active-duty servicemen and women. "Shiloh" then led in some great worship starting with "Favorite Song of All", an awesome rendition of the Nat'l Anthem, "Proud to be an American", and ended with "He Touched Me".
In the contemporary service we started off the service with Michael W. Smith's "A New Hallelujah", prayed for our military and then had our own prayer ministry time with Tommy Walker's "Break Through." Shiloh sang again, but changed the last couple songs to "Days of Elijah" and "I Bowed On my Knees and Cried Holy" with backup from our worship team. We ended the service with a song called "Glory" by Reuben Morgan from Hillsong.
We ate lunch with the guys from Shiloh and after seeing them off relaxed at home. Holly went to spend the night with a friend in Houston, so the boys and I headed off to our favorite boy eatery "Buffalo Wild Wings" and then came home and watched a movie.
So far Memorial Day Monday has been very quiet because the boys are still asleep and Holly isn't home yet!
