We are closing out a week in Atlantis resort in Nassau, or Paradise Island to be exact. The first half of our week was dedicated to Erin’s work meetings with our pest control Associated group. We were staying a few days longer in the form of family vacation.

Weather hasn’t been the best, but it hasn’t been bad. Certainly an upgrade from the snowy/wintry mix of weather back home. Brooks has been a bunch of fun running around and dancing up a storm. He has amused countless others at the resort beyond just us.

Dolphin Day in Atlantis

Cheers!

We have had a whirlwind of a weekend going down the grandpa’s farm for the Richardson family reunion. We got down for the fish fry which was held a few hours earlier due to some important football game, the result of which we will not discuss here. Good times hanging with the family. Skipped the actual reunion part to make it to our friend Davey’s Alabama wedding reception. It was good to meet his wife Lindsey again (met her a few years back when they were dating while we were both in Dallas). She looked great and and Davey looked much like Davey should. The kiddos had a blast playing together. A few photos:

Hanging with Disciples

20110905-014303.jpg

Was invited to come share at a Disciples of Christ General Assembly session here in Nashville. Got to meet up with Brian McLaren again whom I respect a great deal & whose writings have challenged me & my faith immensely. We’ve hung out before but with our collaboration project with him & YouthWorker Circuit it seems we cross paths a lot, even though he’s interacting more with Kevin on that one. He’s always incredibly gracious with people whether presenting or conversing which makes me a huge fanboy.
