'Coach'

My good friend Jayme's grandfather passed away last night. Here's a post about him from her blog. We are praying for Jayme and her family.

Look Mom, No Training Wheels

Look what Quinn taught himself to do...

Take me out to the Ball Game

Audrey's First Home Run...






Guess what!?! Audrey was selected to be on the T-Ball All Star team. In her first all star tournament, she hit her very first "Home Run".


Go Audrey!!!

Elena's Violin Recital

This video of Elena's violin recital was taken a few weeks ago (sorry, I just figured out how to upload it to my blog today). Elena practiced VERY hard and (obviously) did an awesome job!!! That is her teacher she is doing the duet with.

Disney World Trip Log (aka...PICTURES!!) - Part 1

ON OUR WAY...







You think the airport is fun, wait until we get to Disney World...

(Alec - "Is that our plane?"
Dad - "no, not that one"
Quinn - "Is that our plane?"
Dad - "no, not that one"
Alec - "Is that our plane?"
Quinn - "Is that our plane?"
Dad - "no, not that one"
Alec - "Is that our plane?" Quinn - "Is that our plane?" Alec - "Is that our plane?" Quinn - "Is that our plane?" Alec - "Is that our plane?" Quinn - "Is that our plane?" Alec - "Is that our plane?")
- Who knew there were so many planes at the Austin airport?

On The Plane...

(So far so good)

Actually, the plane ride went remarkably (and surprisingly) well. Our strategy was food - lots of snacks - keep 'em coming. Also, everyone had a backpack with a SMALL amount of things to keep them occupied (quiet). The girls had little toy horses a coloring book and an activity book and the boys had little toy trucks a coloring book and an activity book. Everyone got a new box of crayons.

Witnessing to Westboro Baptist

I came across this post today by Josh Bruce. (Disclaimer - I have no idea who Josh Bruce is or what he believes, so please don't hold it against me if it somehow turns out that he preaches some false gospel or claims to be something he isn't) In the post, he describes a recent experience of witnessing to the people of Westboro Baptist Church (i.e. the "God Hates Fags" people).

I have imagined doing exactly what Josh did every time I have watched a news story or read an article about the Westboro "baptists". I pray that, if I ever do have the opportunity, I will have the same courage and that I will share the same message in the same way.

We're Baaaaack

We are back from Disney World.

(and we're tired)
