A day of gorgeous sunshine!
Looking forward to a long weekend
Getting outside and working in the yard
Finding my debit card after about 4 days!
Having some quiet time down by the water
Lots of volunteers for our Sunday school class
My Thankful list being so aesthetically pleasing!

I hope you're having a great week!

Ancestors

This is a picture of my dad, John and his parents, Neota and George. 
My dad was 3 so this was taken in 1927.


My grandpa George fought in WWI.
My dad fought in WWII.
My great-great-great-great grandpa Ignatius fought in the American Revolution.
(Thank you Ancestry.com!)
But thankfully, none of them died in battle.
 I am grateful for all those who fought and who still fight today.
For our freedom.
For peace.

May God bless you and keep you safe.

The Days of Our Non-Riveting Lives

We babysit Allison on Saturdays and we decided to take her to the park. Before we left she read Beth a book. It was a pop up book about stories from the Bible. It was cute, Allie just made up words as she turned the pages, but Beth listened intently!




 
Going down the big slide!



I love what these fiberglass slides do to hair!


 


 
We decided to bring Sugar. That dog loves to ride in the car!



Having a deep conversation with Auntie DiDi.


 


 
Jumping!



This park even has a zip line!
I love Beth's expression in this one!
Go Allie!



Poor Beth desperately wanted to play.
Her weight and the size of the equipment kept her from doing too much.
(She's lost 9 pounds in the last month!!)



Allie saw Beth on the equipment and came running.



 
Sorry these posts haven't been more riveting. There really hasn't been much happening around here. I bought some plants today. Some Morning Glories and Minifamous. I plan to put them in a large pot and set them by the latice in the back yard.

Went to a yard sale put on by our MOPS group. Bought Allie a potty chair. Ryan and Sharaya plan to start potty training soon so I wanted one for her while she's at our house. Also got some electric trains and a track for the kids in our Special Connections class. They love trains!

Umm.... took Beth shopping. she bought the Tangled CD. Chuck fixed dinner while we were gone. :)

Well that's about it from here. Hope things are well at your house!
