Yes, I know..I have so much to catch up on here. I've been meaning to post, but things I need to post kept piling up while most of my time was occupied with work. So let's get started!
As a follow-up from the car accident, someone came to tow the Buick a few days later, and I sneaked some pictures just for you. ;)
After hooking some chains up, it doesn't take long for the car to be ready for the road
Bye, bye, Buick...You served us well.
About a month ago, we went to David's 8th birthday party.
(Family pic)
Looks like someone was being entertained... ;)
Someone had announced that that same day was my dad's birthday..so Uncle Mike had him hold a balloon and wear a party hat (much against Dad's will) while they sang him the happy birthday song.
He was a good sport about it though. ;)
David was so excited to see what he got that he opened his gifts before we ate cake.
He made off with a lot of Lego sets!
This sturdy pinata took 20 or more minutes to break, even with the baseball playing cousins taking whacks at it.. After that long of working at a mangled plane pinata, all the children's expectations were high as they eagerly awaited their reward..
After what seemed like forever to everyone, it finally broke...As you may notice in the picture below, a child or so are crying...Normally kids don't cry when they get candy..
One by one, however, nearly each child burst into tears when they realized they each only had about 3 pieces of candy. All that work for three puny pieces: their hearts were broken. The little plane held much less candy than everyone expected, especially since it was filled. It was rather comical actually, but no fear. David's mom had extra candy in favor cups to help make up for it.
After everyone headed in, Dad stayed behind to play ball with Elijah. :)
Laurisa spent most of the day proofing the new book she read.
The following Sunday, we had the nice surprise of the announcement that a young teenager from FL who visits our church wanted to be water baptized. The very next week, the church headed over to our backyard for Noah's baptismal.
Noah's dad was asked to read a passage out of the Bible right before we all prayed..
Praying
It's so wonderful to see another soul making a public confession!
Aunt Kim had given the little girl's fans, and they were really enjoying them that day. ;)
I have a few more things to blog, so I'll split that into a separate post. :) Thanks for coming and don't forget to leave us a comment!
