9/30 - We had first girl scout meeting at the house after the renovation. Kind of fun. We had 8 girls and they all pretty much fit on the new couch :)
9/29 - We had a pretty lazy day. Greg went to Jerry World for A&M vs Arkansas game. A&M won but tried to lose it a few times. The kids and I had lunch at home and hung out until daddy got home. For dinner we went to try an Italian Restaurant that one of Kasey's friends family owns. Great place!
9/28 - Landon went to a friends house for the evening. Greg, Kasey and I went to McKinney Oktoberfest. We had some schnitzel, some gyro with Kasey, some beer and we got Helga's strudel (no Helmets, the kids thought it wasn't as good). Kasey got to ride a few rides.
After Oktoberfest we went to where Landon was. The kids played upstairs and we played some pool downstairs and had a drink with friends.
9/25 - Landon made 2 tackles in his football game, got his name called and the team won their first game. Go Husky's.
9/11-9/26 - I traveled to China and Taiwan for 2 weeks. 3 countries, 6 cities and 2 weeks of travel for work. I traveled to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenzhen China + Hong Kong + Taipei, Taiwan. It was a good trip meeting a new team member, getting to know other team members better, working on enabling video more in Asia, tried several new foods and got to see a few sights.
When in China we often try new/different foods. My family isn't overly interested in hearing about it, but I enjoy trying them an they are usually good. Here are a few new things I tried this trip - duck feet, duck blood, pig kidney, cow tripe, pig tripe, frog legs, fish eye, pig blood, pig kidney, pig liver.
I was traveling over 2 weekends which was tough on the family and me, during those weekends I got to visit Disneyland in Shanghai and Hong Kong, Zhujiajiao Ancient Chinese town, got to see changing of the guard at a Chiang Kai-shek Memorial hall, & Taipei National Palace Museum.
9/11 - Landon had 2nd football game. He was captain and got to help with ring toss. He also got a tackle and caught a pass as well. :)
9/8 - The game was at night and it was supposed to rain all day. So we stayed in. Greg cooked breakfast for everyone, we watched some football, the kids played, had a few drinks, brought in BBQ for lunch, and a few people even took naps before we left for the game.
A&M played hard, there were some bad calls and we barely lost the game. For playing the number 2 team we were still ok with the outcome.
9/7 - We got kids from school and headed to college station for the weekend to see A&M play Clemson. We had rented a house, and on the way down got some pizza rolls to eat at the house. Friends staying with us got there earlier so they went out to dinner. We enjoyed hanging out having a few drinks that night while kids slept.
9/6 - finished up getting most middle school kids to pick up their spirit wear - this was a bit of a project. Just in time to head to Asia.
9/4 - Landon got new desk to go with his bed delivered.
9/2 - Over the weekend I unpacked and put in the hutch all of my knick knacks, we also got several other boxes unpacked and somewhat organized the middle bedroom upstairs.
9/1 - We started the day doing some organizing for Ereckson spirit wear. A neighborhood friend and her daughter came to help. We bagged 291 shirts, and only had a few issues :)
That night Greg went to soccer game and kids and I went to dinner with Grammy and Gramps. We had fun dinner and snuck in dessert :)
