Our Weekend

Well, there are some firsts to record here for Elizabeth's sake. Today was her first Sunday in church. Here is a picture of the kids...yes, we were running late, but I still snapped a quick pic...that is why no one is really looking, except Calvin who has inherited Paul's photogenic-ness. And yes, Elizabeth was NOT happy...I woke her up from her sleepy slumber and she was livid...and hungry! But, here it is, her first Sunday getting dressed up and worshipping the Lord who created her and has given her life. What a joy it was for me to join my family in worship this morning.








And yesterday, we headed off to Cocoa Beach for the afternoon. The kids had a blast boogie-boarding and Daddy had a blast surfing. Elizabeth and I just hung out on the beach...she slept and I watched the other three making sure no one was getting sucked away! I am so proud of Adele who is honing her boogie-boarding skills...she still has to get swimming down (as you can tell from her swimmies on her arms) but she's well on her way. Of course, the boogie-board is not called a boogie-board rather it is her pet dolphin who is teaching her how to surf. Quite the imagination that one!







Calvin also enjoyed the waves as did PJ. After a while out, Calvin came in and we threw the frisbee disc around a bit...and the PJ and Daddy joined him.











And, this was Elizabeth's first trip to the beach outside the womb. She loved it. How do I know this? Well, she slept the whole time!





Adele experienced a first as well this weekend. She was invited to a Princess Birthday Party for her friend who turned 4. She was SO excited to go to this party. It was all she talked about all week. Each girl was to dress up as a princess and since we don't really have any princess dresses we made Adele into a blond headed Thai princess...I think she's beautiful...what do you think?! She had such a wonderful time!

Well, that's all for our weekend! School starts tomorrow...and Paul's full load starts on Wednesday. Prayers are appreciated!

Everyone looks great and Adele is a gorgeous Thai princess! I'm so sorry that we haven't re-connected after my losing you on the phone several weeks ago- please forgive me my scattered-ness. I'll try to connect with you again soon and send lots and lots of love.

My kids still haven't tried boogie boarding. I guess it isn't that hard, right? Maybe we'll try it at the beach next month.
