Sports, Culture, and Family

SPORTS

On Thursday, Elijah, Gavin, my dad, and I went to an FC Dallas soccer game against Chivas USA. I personally thought it was a great game despite there being no goals. Everyone played really well so it was fun to watch. At each game they give out some sort of item. We got a great Gatorade water bottle (can't ever have too many of those!).

They also were giving every one these wigs to wear that looked like the hair of #8 Juan Toja. So we had a great time putting on the wigs and laughing at ourselves, although Eli was sort of scared of them.

CULTURE

****WARNING****nudity ahead

On Saturday, Trey and I went to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth to see the Ron Mueck sculptures. They were incredible and so unbelievably life-like.






My favorite was "Wild Man" (below) because he really did look like he was going to jump out of the chair and run screaming out of the room.


Then we met up with Garrett and ate burgers at Fred's in Fort Worth.


FAMILY

On Sunday, we went over to Dave and Heather's house. They're our transplanted Seattle BFFs who God truly blessed us with up there and then amazed all of us by bringing them down here. We always have a great time with them. Anyhow, we went over there to watch the Cowboys' game and we have always brought our dogs over to hang with their dogs. They used to watch Layla for us when we went out of town and we would take care of Howser and Moffet for them. Anyhow, the dogs were all in their backyard and I went out there at halftime to see how everyone was doing, and all of the sudden Howser starts trying to get in Finnigan's face and then he attacks him! Howser was intent of kicking sweet Finn's butt and Finnigan didn't even try to fight back. After it all was over, Finn had a nasty gash under his eye. The vet said he doesn't need stitches, but he looks so bad! Dave and Heather felt terrible, but they're dogs so what are you gonna do?

Oh my, I love the pictures of you guys in the wigs. Fun!

I wish I could have been in Ft. Worth to see Ron Mueck's sculptures. Wow, they're amazing! Thanks for the links too.

Sorry about Finn. Poor little boy. Hope his cut heals soon.
