Tarzan at the Library

So today Daddy did a bunch of work again - but this time from home.  We had a nice, quiet morning, and Madison began a new week of school, this time without any color of the day to wear.  We've been getting adjusted to the earlier hours, and in Daddy's case that means going to sleep significantly earlier.  Seriously, we're talking major tired in the evenings!

For those of you who can interpret binary, you'll know that we're planning another secret trip down to Disney in October for the Not-So-Scary Halloween party.  We've gotten Madison's costume, and in the meantime Mommy and Daddy are considering going as Mary Poppins, and Bert (in that order!).  What started out as a mentioning of the trip to Nana and Ye-Ye has turned into something more:  in October, Nana, Ye-Ye, Aunt Shain, David, Jonathan and Hannah are also going.  Yes, that's right.  They've made reservations at Ft. Wilderness, seeing as they are experts at camping and it is more inexpensive for a larger group.



Today we returned to the library after school, and returned some books and movies we picked up earlier.  Madison, as is her custom, sat next to the statues of the kids reading a book - and lo, there they were reading Tarzan again.  This made a bit more sense to her, as we finally saw "Tarzan" the other day.  In that spirit, as soon as we got home, we popped in "Tarzan II" to watch, which Madison also enjoyed.  Truth be told though, she liked the first one best because it featured Jane.  In that spirit, we also picked up Disney's "Tarzan and Jane" sequel, which Mommy and Daddy didn't think much of.  Still, Madison liked it because again:  it had Jane.

Tying the previous two paragraphs together:  Jane is a character that will appear at the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, where Madison doesn't know she's going yet, so hopefully we can get these two together!

Tonight before bed, we continued with our devotional reading, and prayer about the oncoming storm named Isaac.  It's expected to turn to a hurricane over the gulf waters and strike somewhere on the Gulf Coast this week.  As chance would have it, the Republican Convention is taking place on the Gulf Coast this week as well.  So news-wise, it's an interesting week.  Already, the rain is coming, and the temperature more humid...

It's pleasant and quiet though here, although work is a spring of busyness.  We've got so much going on at church, and it's an exciting time to be on board, although in a much smaller, quieter, out-of-the-way spot.
