Ten for Life

When we got back to LR I was very excited about a series our church here was doing called Ten for Life. The staff had picked their ten favorite verses in the Bible, the verses that they thought you should have even if all the Bibles were destroyed. Then Pastor Rod challenged the congregation to memorize these verses over the next ten weeks and it was an incredible journey. We learned the verses, studied them on Sunday, sang about them, and prayed them with our family. Even Britton learned all ten verses, we are so proud of him. Last Friday the church had an amazing party for everyone who learned all the verses and it was awesome! We had all sorts of food, a candy bar, carnival games, blow up jump houses, rock climbing wall, juggling.... everything you can imagine and even gave away a trip to Disney world that someone donated. It was a great celebration, not an accomplishment of people, but of God's amazing word and that will will never fade and never change.

Time Flies

Well my sweet, baby girl is 6 months old today. I can't even believe it has been that long since I first saw that sweet face covered in white goo. From her first moments as a part of our family she has always made it a happier place to be. She smiles all the time and just lights up a room. When she smiles her whole body gets excited, she wiggles and squirms loving any social interaction she can get:) She weighs 14 lbs and is 25 in long, she loves to sing and coo, kicks her feet like crazy in her bed, and moves all over the place by scooting backwards. Britton loves his sister and she loves him, they play soooo good and he is a great big brother. We love you sooo much Everlye and pray that you continue to grow into a beautiful girl surrounded by God's love.

I'm Back

Ok so it has been forever since I have blogged and I couldn't begin to catch up sooo, let's just start where we are. We are in Little Rock, John is in school here and we are doing great. He is studying alot, but doing great in his classes. Britton has fit right back in to life in the rock, he loves seeing his grandparents more often and all his friends. Of course Beth is the love of his life and he gets to see her regularly, they are so funny talking about their future already cracks us up. He is taking swim lessons at the rec center and spends half the class trying to talk the teacher out of making him put his face underwater, sooo funny. Everlye is becoming such a big girl, she was squealing this morning so loud and I was thinking welcome to the world of girls. Her tummy is starting to do alot better and she gets to start eating foods this week:) She suffers from major food envy, so I know she is ready. I am working at the church a little and doing a book study with a good friend. I love being home but miss Abilene too. I will post a few pics of lately, that is all for now.
