Today would have been the last day in San Antonio if we had gone on vacation as planned, but it turned out to be a good idea to stay close to home.
On Wednesday last week we got the van back and took it to get washed up. It looks great! We were all impressed with how much a good wash improved its appearance. Then on Thursday we had to take it back in with a coolant leak which turned out to be a hose needing replaced.

Finally on Friday night we took the bus on its first outing with all the Workman's aboard. We all went to Amber and Angela's house to celebrate their surprise birthday party. The bus rode a lot smoother than I expected and on the return trip we had 6 kids asleep by the time we got home. The bus has amazingly cool air conditioning and the lift loaded the wheelchairs with no problems. This bus is truly a huge blessing! It was worth the two years of waiting and praying.
We didn't go far over the weekend or do too much outside because the heat has been almost unbearable! On Sunday evening, we went along while Amber & Angela took the balloon ride that we gave them for their birthday. I was really neat watching the process from start to finish! The kids were really impressed, except Mark who was worried that they weren't coming back.
On Monday, I took Hannah to the local nursing home to play piano. As usual, she did great and she will play for them again next Monday. Vanessa turned 10 on Monday too so I took the older kids to see the movie "Brave". Then we came home and enjoyed cake and watching Vanessa open presents.

Today was busy with errands to the post office, Matt's speech therapy, pay bills, send packages, and such. Angela and I sorted coupons, and I almost have a full box to send my friend from high school (Amy) in Turkey. Her husband is in the air force and they can use coupons that are upto 6 months expired. If you have any that you want to toss in my box to top it off, please let me know.
Tomorrow will hopefully be a bit cooler as we still have lots to finish outside this Summer.
