special visit

My parents came into town last week. It is always such a blessing. One of my favorite things to do when they are here is to walk up to their house in the morning and have big breakfast with them. The kids are often still in their PJs. Dassah loved to do here back up walk and sit right in Granddaddy's lap while he is trying to do his exercises.
Meme got Noah this great blower that blows out bubbles. The kids had a blast with it.
We took my dad to see Seven Days in Utopia movie for his birthday. It was actually a really great movie. My dad was only here for a couple days, but my mom got to stay a whole week. We had so much fun together, Paul even watched the kids for us so my mom and I could go on out on the town and then I spent the night at my mom's house. Getting alone time with just my mom is a rare treasure. I loved every minute of it.

 On Saturday, my mom, the kids and I went out to the farm to see Rhonda. It is so exciting to see all the building that is taking place there and the ministry that they are doing. The kids were even able to ride the pony whose name was Prince. Here are a couple pictures and a video.

Kids update

Harrison had his first day of 8th grade. He is running cross country again. And he turned 14. wow he is getting so big and is truly turning into an amazing young man, that I am proud to call my son. Since, his birthday was not on a day we get to have him, we surprised him and brought him donuts after his cross country practice (I know it is not the best thing to eat after you run but he enjoyed them.) We had a family birthday party for him and yes more donuts but it was as his cake.




Noah started a soccer league for the first time. Lately he has been waking up and asking if we could go play soccer in the basement even before we eat breakfast. He has asked Paul if he could be on a team. He had his first practice/game on Sunday. He was a little shy but still did good.  He also meet his preschool teacher on thrusday, Mrs. Anne. His first full day is tuesday. He is very excited to go two days a week.



Meeting Mrs. Anne

Dassah has been doing all sorts of stuff lately. Some of her favorites are giving hugs and kisses, taking people's shoes and hiding them, saying hi (or IEEE as you can watch in the video), dancing, jumping on the trampoline, and saying "arf, arf" at dogs (or animal for that matter). She follows directions more and right now she is getting her molars.
