Our schedule this weekend was completely full. I made plans with my NY friends so we can hang out and enjoy the last weekend of summer together.

I learned his new nickname: pork chop. Awwww…

We had the pleasure of having the Tan family over here in NJ. Baby Andrew’s so big!

It was so much fun having you guys over!

We were invited to one of Shane’s best friends house for his 4th birthday party. They were so happy to each other. As soon as we walked in to their house, Shane disappeared into the crowd and became one of their families.

Happy birthday buddy!

It was a beautiful night…

Our guest of honor arrives!

Wait, why does it say 29?  😎

My girlfriends and I are planning a surprise birthday party for one of our friends tomorrow night. She’s also moving to London in a few weeks with her family so this party means a lot to us. I have the joy of decorating for this special night at our friend’s house. We’re using their splendid family room to put three of 6′ tables in the middle which will comfortably accommodate 19 guests for a sit down meal.
The theme of the party is: English garden.

Julie is a beautiful woman of God. Truly inspiring…and it’s my honor to plan her party. I’m blessed to be able to say she is my sister in Christ.

Chloe and Shane had been going to True Light Church summer camp since the beginning of July. Chloe’s been to several field trips with her class already and today, I took off work to be one of the chaperones accompanying 45 kids to the water park at Great Wolf Lodge.

Me and my bud in a school bus!

After a long bus ride + counting kids (several times) + bathroom breaks + checking in, we were finally here!

But only one hour of water play later, we had to come inside again to eat our lunch… Shane was not happy.

Then we are back!

I loved seeing interactions between the kids.

Shane had fun chasing this one girl for a while who is Chloe’s friend.

I barely got one picture taken with one of the kids. Chloe didn’t even have a second for me because she was too busy playing with her own friends.

There she goes!

We had a wonderful time and it really was a fun place for kids. I was completely exhausted to say the least! I think being on the school bus ride without AC and on the highway for almost 2 hours totally wiped me off. When we got home, after bathing them and eating dinner, I went to bed with the kids at 8:30 pm. I. was. done.

We went to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to meet up with more friends for dinner.

We’ve been wanting to eat here since the last time and it was even better than I remembered. Yum Yum!

Jane’s Carousel!

Kids seemed okay by themselves so I decided to ride on one too!

Aren’t I so funny… I’m pretending I’m sleeping.

Hi, little Andrew & uncle T

The pops.

Little Andrew loved it. 🙂 He had 3 of those.

The Tan family.

It is so HOT outside today. Before we melt in the street, we found a café nearby to cool off.

We were invited to a BBQ / pool party this afternoon. So we rushed from one party to the other.

Kids LOVED being in the pool and they hardly came out of the water.

Andrew’s favorite part was the stunning view of the golf course right behind their backyard. After dinner, some of the golfers went out to play.

Feast!

They even have two gorgeous dogs.

Awww, look how sad Chloe looks… because we had to leave…

Thank you Lont’s family for having us over for awesome food and company!
