BA: Mom, I want a real drill.

Crissy: BA, you have a real drill (toy craftsman) in your toy box.

BA: No, Mom...I want a real drill that will drill real holes in the wall.

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

We're settled!

We have finally moved for the last time! This week we moved into the house across the street from the church. I must say that moving about 20 miles is a lot easier than moving 1, 000 miles. We are thankful to be closer to our church family, and I am definitely thankful to be settled. I don't recommend moving twice during a pregnancy! However, God's grace has been sufficient. We are grateful to all of our friends and family who have prayed us through this transition in our lives.

Friday Night Lights

We took our boys to their first "real" high school football game after moving here. I say "real" because in TX they played 6-man football, which is way different from 11-man. My uncle coaches one of the local teams, so we went to watch them play. The boys absolutely loved it. They never took their attention from what was going on at the field. They especially enjoyed the cheering crowd and marching bands. BA likes to yell, "Get him, get him" as he watches. CJ thought he was grown when we let him sit on the bleachers "by himself." The picture tells the story.

A hunting we will go...

Some turkeys they saw

The proud hunters

One of the things that BA has really enjoyed since being in FL is going hunting with his Dad. They have gone twice now, and each time BA comes back really excited. Everywhere he goes, he proudly tells his hunting stories to people. Here is a brief summary of what he had to share from each trip. I'll try to summerize it in his words.

Trip #1: We saw a bunch of turkeys, and we saw some deer, but they were too far to shoot. They just wouldn't come closer.

Trip #2: We were really quiet and that big buck came out. Daddy made a noise, and we shot that gun, "bang" and we killed that 9 point deer. I was excited when we shot that deer.

We hear these stories over and over in our house. BA especially likes to retell the story of the 9 point hunt.

Finally here!

We finally have internet! Yeah! I never realized how something could really effect your life. We aren't huge net surfers, but we realized that we are pretty dependent on the net- driving directions, business hours, telephone numbers, and of course contact with friends and family. Unfortunately we couldn't get internet service through our phone company, so we have spent time trying to figure out which is the best option for us (which was even harder to do without a local phone book or internet access to compare the options- thus the delay!). Anyway, we are back online, and we are very thankful! Hopefully, I'll be able to update on some fun times that we have had over the past few weeks. There's much to share!
