Busy week...

This week was so busy that I never found time to post the happenings! Here is the week in a nutshell...

Alex had his friend Caleb over for a play date and they got so dirty and sweaty that they needed baths before church!




Jon Daniel grew some hair!



We had our Jr. High students over for some Alabama Football and a cookout!


Eric and I had a getaway to Birmingham for Refuge 2008, a free 2 day conference for youth ministers and their spouses done by Student Life ministries. We had a chance to worship under the leadership of Chris Tomlin and Kristian Stanfill and sit under the teachings of the Word from Louie Giglio, Randy Hall, and David Platt. Awesome time of worship and study, as well as a good bit of free time together and with friends that was such fun! We came back feeling like we had surely had "REFUGE"!



Reagan's eyes turned green for sure and her hair started curling well!

Alexander and Reagan began playing together more...



Both kids actually posed for photos for me on the same day! Best recent photos I know of...ENJOY!


Alexander took some tests...a "spelling" test, although we didn't have the words at home to practice for a week. He had to listen to his teacher sound out a word and spell it from that, practice test Thursday, real thing Friday. All words right both times, backward "p" in pig on Thursday, but corrected on Friday! Also had a test on the back of sheet where teacher said a two-letter sound and he had to write it down, plus add a letter to the end to make a real word. Ex: she said, "ne" and he added a k. HA! Did you wash you "nek" today? Got them all right, but teacher wrote in the vital "c" on that one without counting it wrong. He was the only one in his class who did not have to go to time out today, too. Hence the tattoos! He also got a toy from surprise box and 2 Oreo cookies from his teacher and she bragged on him. There are only four kids in his class, but he was proud of himself for obeying! Came home from hard days work to be ALL BOY outside and get dirty enough to leave a ring around the tub, but went to bed HAPPY!


Have a great weekend! Enjoy your family and praise God for each blessing!
