The Past Few Days

While I was at home we attended a lovely wedding. Here is Meme with her girls at the wedding.
One of my best friends, Kelly with SK. Kelly is soooo good with children. She is a pre-K teacher and my girls LOVE her!
Kelly, Eric, Lauren and Logan.
Sarah Kate wanted to hold this baby soooooo bad at the wedding. She asked his grandmother several times why she could not hold the baby. She LOVES babies, just like her mother.
This is Kelly's sister, Meredith. My girls love her too.
My parents wonderful pastor and his wife. I LOVE to hear him preach when I am at home.

When have just finished up a time of testimony sharing over the past 7 weeks. To say it has been wonderful is an understatement. It has been a tremendous blessing to those who have shared and to those who have attended. We have learned so much about each other and about the Lord. I love seeing how God has had His hand of these ladies lives and how He drew them to Himself. I am sad that it is over. I LOVE my church and I am so thankful to all the women that are such role-models to me.

Yesterday, I joined Kelly (above) and her children at the Little Rock zoo. OHHHHH the FUN!!!!!! It was so interesting. I think I had more fun than the kids. I had not been to the LR zoo since like the 8th grade. It is really nice because you can be so close to many of the animals. I do not have one picture to show for it because I left my camera battery in my car. Uhggg...... Sarah Kate is a bit afraid of animals and she was pretty much a nervous wreck the whole time. Some of the animals were a little too close for comfort to her. I want to go back on a cooler day.

If you REALLY want to go to a zoo with live monkeys, come visit me in Florida at my house--I have 2 boys. And it's air conditioned. HA!

Laurie, not to scare you, but as a fellow bird hater I have to tell you they have this cage like area that you walk into and it has like 1,000 birds everywhere. My friends dragged me into it one time and I was SOO scared. They also have a part in the reptile house that you walk through and birds are just walking around. Eeek!!!! No thank you!

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.
