A Special Day

Today Ebeth was baptized by Bro. Tommy Middleton, our pastor. We are so proud of her and her decision to follow Christ. We had our church family there as well as MawMaw and PawPaw, Aunt Candace, Connor and Zane (uncle todd was working at the fire station), Mrs. JoAnn, Mr. Johnny, Emily and Hannah, Ms. Andi and Megan, and Mrs. Donna, Mr. Richard and Dylan. We were happy they were there to share this as well.

Ebeth, I love you so much and am so happy we WILL always be together. :)
What a special day this has been!

Proud of Ebeth

Today Ebeth went up to our pastor at the invitation time and told him she had asked Jesus into her heart and wanted to let everyone know and that she wants to be baptized. Steven and I went up with her (we were all sitting in our usual spots in the balcony....Em was at my mom and dad's house for the weekend with cousin Zane.)
Anyway, almost 2 years ago Ebeth had asked Jesus in her heart and told us and had even gone up front at church with many other kids who had done the same at an Upward awards night (Upward is a sports and cheerleading program our church participates in yearly). But she never was ready to officially go forward and tell our pastor and our church. But she was today. Steven and I are so proud of her. And of course we are happy that our family will always be together, here and in heaven. Em hasn't gone forward yet but she too has asked Jesus in her heart.....over the summer.
If any of you who read this want to know anything about Jesus please let me know. :)

I think Ebeth will be baptized in the next few weeks.

Ebeth we love you so much!

A great first week

I had a wonderful first week at school. But I am one tired woman. My three sets of kids are a great crew. I think it is going to be a great year!
And having Ebeth at my school is so nice.......but so funny to see her walking around with the kids. I can't believe she is in jr high.
Emily is enjoying 3rd grade (but not as much as she enjoyed second she says......she just absolutely ADORED her second grade teachers). Ebeth had to stay home one day this week (thursday) b/c she had a bad bad ear infection. But she had to go back today (she insisted and she had no more fever). She made it but is so tired now and of course asleep, like I should be.
Just wanted to let everyone know I survived. And lesson plans are done for next week. Go me. Now if someone would just clean my house.....any takers?

Summer is over! School is starting this WEEK!

I've been lazy and not downloading pics........so I don't have any to post.
Just making a note that I have to be back at school THIS WEDNESDAY, August 5.
hard to believe. Summer flew by! I go this thursday and friday and the kids come on Friday, August 7. Playtime is over!!!! Ebeth and Em are excited about school starting. My room is ready and I'll eventually think about what I'm doing the first few days. To all my teacher buddies, have a wonderful 2009-2010 school year. I'm planning on it!
:)

trying to post the picture

Ok, I'm hoping the picture I was referring to in the previous post will actually appear now.....let's see......

I love my guy and gals!

Just taking a moment after reading a few blogs and facebooking to post this cute pic of E. and E. with their daddy b/f we headed to Nahsville. (at the airport in N.O.) I just am so blessed to have such a sweet hubby and wonderful little gals. I love them sooooo very much! We have just been enjoying the summer so much I don't have time to download more pic or post. Bad me! The girls are with my mom and dad and cousins Connor and Zane on a mini-road trip. They are siteseeing along the historical Natchez Trace. Last night they stayed in Vicksburg, MS. They are going to the battlefield there today and not sure what else. They are just happy to be with MawMaw and Paw Paw. Last night steven and I had a great "date" night...went out to eat with our friends Kellie and Jay at the best seafood restaurant in Baton rouge, Mike Anderson's. It was nice to have some couples time! The kids only called once while we were eating!

Well, just a quick post about my WONDERFUL family of 4....(well, 5 if you count Skippy and of course we do!---he had surgery about 9 days ago and was "fixed"---he gets his stitches out tomorrow!---poor skippy!)

Another birthday girl...........

Today is Susan's (aka "Nanny" to the girls) birthday. It's number ?????? for her!
We just wanted to wish her a super happy one! We love her LOTS!!!

Enjoy your special day! You are very special to us!
