Another One Bites the Dust

Another tooth gone...Sissy lost another tooth yesterday. It's been hanging on by a thread for awhile now. If Papa was here, it would have been "outta there" a long time ago.
Sissy now looks more like I did in 1st grade; I remember missing my 2 front, top teeth in my school picture.

This is the day the Lord has made...

"To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today."

(Jesus Calling, Sarah Young)

Busy Weekend

It's been awhile since I've had a chance to post...it's just been busy and continues to be. Last weekend, we were busy with multiple activities; it was lots of fun. I'll let the pictures do most the talking...

We sat with a large group from our church. We convoyed and sat with friends-- 8 children, 6 adults.
Free hats -- as modeled here.

Prayer Request for My Mom

To Friends and Family, please pray for my Mom. On early Monday morning, she's having hip replacement surgery. Pray for the surgery to go well and then the recovery following it.
Thank You for your prayers!

Barnyard Moosical

Thursday evening, the Vickery Elementary first grade did a program called Barnyard Moosical. Sissy's class were "funky chickens", and her friend Cole's class were "gourmet goats". There were pigs, cows and farmers also. It was such fun to watch them. Cole's Mom and I just sat there smiling, laughing and clicking pictures. Sissy and the other students did such a good job! Here's some of the pictures.
The funky chickens in their sunglasses!
Waving to all the parents
Isn't Sissy cute? Front row for Miss Petite

Here's the funky chicken song. Sissy had great chicken neck moves.
