Sunday Antics

Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least. To start with, our bus children were pretty wild, which isn't that unusual except we had a new little one to add to the mayhem...she was a very hyper active and independant 3 year old. So you can imagine that she added quite a spice to the sunday school hour as well as Junior church! :0) We are always happy to have new ones come and join us, however, I think setting an age limit is a wise idea... LOL We also had another new girl come this sunday but she was older and was actually pretty quiet and reserved. Sunday evening we picked up 3 teenagers for night service. It is always such a blessing to have them interested in coming to the evening service. However, we are going to be losing one of our most faithful teens in a few months... she will be graduating from high school and is planning on going to college some distance away. We will miss her a whole lot! I just hope that what she has learned here at church will stay with her and she will give her heart to Jesus someday. Please keep us and our teenagers in your prayers.

Can you believe its been 8 months?!

Yesterday was our 8 month anniversary...so...we decided we'd celebrate a little. We've been trying to diet for the past couple of weeks so that was one thing we decided we'd do for sure--splurge! :0) We spent the day at the Short Pump mall(the biggest mall I've ever seen) and at various other shops along the way. Then we decided we both felt like having pizza for our "splurging" ;and so we stopped at Papa Johns on the way home. It was a wonderful day spent with just the two of us. I have the most wonderful husband that there is and I am so happy to be his wife! :0) It seems like its not possible that its been 8 months already; but I know for sure that they have been some of the most wonderful months of my life!

Valentine's Day Brain Freeze

Ok, I know we still have a little bit of time before Valentine's day, but I'm having a really hard time coming up with something really special and unique to give to my sweet hubby! It's so easy for them to buy for us girls, but for some reason I struggle with buying things for my guy on holidays like these... So, if you have any suggestions or if you can sympathize with me please let me know so I won't think that I'm the only one who struggles with this... LOL

Snow!

We haven't had any snow accumulation yet this year...and I guess you really can't say that what we got today was accumulation exactly; but its at least sticking to the ground in a few places here and there. LOL Unfortunately with it came rain which is now freezing on the surfaces of sidewalks and things...so...that's always fun...

Baby Shower

Victoria and Gabby and noodles (the doggy)

James and Rachel

Daddy-to-be with the Care Bears! :0)

Beautiful Dresses!

Her Cake

Saturday, as i mentioned before, was Rachel's baby shower. It was at one of James' aunts houses. I was a little nervous to be honest about being there with a bunch of people I didn't know that well, but we had a blast! Their family was very friendly and made you feel right at home. Anyhow, I was in charge of the games so we played the clothes pin game (requested by victoria) :0); Finish the Nursery Ryhme; How well do you know mommy-to-be; The yarn measuring mommy's tummy; and the baby alphabet game. I got most of the ideas from a baby shower website. Anyhow, it was a really nice shower and she got a lot of beautiful things! We're all excited for little Hannah Rose to come --especially her mommy! :0)

Answered Prayer

Just thought i'd give an update on Claude's surgery. He went in to surgery about 7:30 am and came out around 9:00 am. Everything went well and the doctor's are very pleased. He was groggy when we saw him but that is to be expected! LOL Thank the Lord for His help!
