The weekend

This picture captures our weekend perfectly...

What a great and uneventful weekend. We had no birthday parties, no school-type functions and no extra church events. We have been really busy with all that stuff, so it was great to spend a weekend just being together. We started Saturday (after Krispy Kreme) on the back porch enjoying the porch swing Papaw made and playing in 'the man' (aka the mister).


The girls have been begging to go running with Shannon for a while, so Sunday night was the night. I overheard him say as they ran away, "Now when you are running, you can't talk, b/c you have to concentrate..." Good luck with that!!


On the trip back they looked a little worn out, but Shannon was smiling.

A little red in the face, but proud of themselves for running half a mile. :)
Now for a little amusing story that Anabelle dictated to Shannon...
Once Mommy builded her name out of wood. Then mommy and Daddy meeted each other. Then they married each other. Then they had a baby. Then they had another baby. Then they had another baby.
I guess she's got all the important details. Not so sure about the building my name out of wood thing. There is an attached picture with a sign (made of wood) that says MOMMY.

new room


so, our lives have been turned a little upside down by the whole school thing...I promise to do pictures and at least one interesting story over the weekend. For now, I've got one sick kiddo to tend to... Here are the pictures of the big girls new room. Still working on the plan for the wall art, but it has come a long way..
