Little Bit of This-Little Bit of That



This week has been full. But, it has been a good kind of busy.

We had a wonderful church service on Sunday morning. It was DNOW weekend and we had Ed Newton as the preacher and Jeff Johnson as the worship leader. It was just amazing. What an honor to have these men in our church. As Ed Newton said,"God showed up and showed off."
We also had 28 youth get baptized. Steve and I help with the baptisms once a month. This weekend was our time to serve. It was so neat to be a part of something like that. We ran out of towels and robes, but it was a good kind of problem to have.

This morning we had women's Bible study. It is always a favorite part of my week. We are doing Faithful, Abundant, True. The study features Kay Arthur, Priscilla Shirer and Beth Moore. It has been GREAT! If your church offers a Bible study, I would encourage you to participate.

When I did my post about my favorite musicians, I KNEW I would leave some favorites out.
Here are a few more people that I consider musical genius:

Scott Krippayne
Justin Rosolino
Jim Brickman
Norah Jones
Edwin McCain
David Cook

Some little friends came over last night to play..... Drew and Alex. Emily has never had guest over that she did not put on a princess dress and jewelry. She also wore a cat tail last night...pink one.

Emily told me the other day that her hair "is not really curly and not really straight, it is just wiggly". She is right!


Happy Anniversary to my parents today! They have been married for 41 years. They have been a wonderful example of what a good, Christ-like marriage looks like! I am so thankful!

Norah Jones is one of my all time favorites, too! I tried to listen to her music in labor. That was when I thought I was in labor but not really. In labor, I think I thought about throwing the headset across the room. Not even Norah distracted me then :)
Peace.

Sometimes I just laugh at all the things we have in common. My parents just had their anniversary too. 41 years and Justin and Steve's parents will be 40 years I believe. We really have great examples around us. We are thinking about going to see Beth, Kay and Priscilla in Bham in December. We had a great time seeing Priscilla this past weekend. If you get the chance don't miss it. It was wonderful. Give those girls a hug and kiss from me.

My favorite Sesame Street (I have 20 DVR'ed) is the one with Norah Jones singing "Don't Know Why Y Didn't Come".

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
