This has been a year of busy weekends for Jamie and I, but these last couple of days have been a nice exception, especially after how busy last weekend was.

Late Friday afternoon I took off a little early from work so I could put together a simple patch for one Zend Framework issue; I can happily say I've participated in my first ZF bug hunt. I don't get to work much with Zend Framework in my day job, but it's always fun when I have enough free time available to contribute something, even if it's only two or three lines of code.

Saturday, I got up early to take the dogs in for a haircut; PetSmart did a very good job, especially on Wembley:

After that, we met up with Jamie's parents in Mesquite for a Gilmer ISD playoff football game. I'm not really much of a football fan myself, but it's fun to spend an afternoon out in the fresh air with the wife and in-laws …and the game caught my attention a few times, so it must have been good :)

Yesterday, meanwhile, was another great day at church; we played in the orchestra in the morning and then helped lead a combined kindergarten/preschool choir rehearsal. I think we're getting pretty good at wearing the kids out towards the beginning of practice; they tend to rehearse better if you give them a little bit of crazy right when they get there. I'm really impressed with how well they're handling the rests; we're doing a medley, and most of the kids stood absolutely still and silent between songs. We still need to work on the words a bit, but once that's taken care of I think we're going to have a great concert!
