Bearing Gifts

Graham has a talent for buying good gifts. He brought Ava and I these awesome items from Nicaragua.

Hand carved leaf plate--My husband knows me so well. I love it!

A handmade toddler purse. So cute!

Thank you, Graham. We love our gifts.

So You Think You Can...

DANCE!!!!

Graham ran into Twitch (a finalist on SYTYCD Season 4) in the Dallas airport early this morning! I was on the phone with him at the time he saw Twitch. I told  him to get his picture taken with him. He didn't want to, but I told him it was blog worthy!

Ava's First Day

AG made it through her first day of preschool. She cried a lot when I left her and that was hard for me, too. When I picked her up, the director told me that she shed a lot of tears, but loved playing outside and playing with the other kids. On the ride home, Ava Grace was very talkative. I could tell she was glad to see me. When I unpacked her backpack, I noticed that she had colored a picture with cats, hats, mats, etc. There was a big letter "A" and a lower case "a" on the page. When I pointed to the letters, she said "Aaaaaaa." So, despite the sadness, she still had some fun and learning. I'm expecting tomorrow to be a little harder, but by the end of the week, I bet she will be fine. If you think about it, say a little prayer for her tomorrow.

When Graham departed...

Nicaragua Mission Trip

Graham has made it to Nicaragua. Their group is teaching and training young pastors so they are capable of sharing the gospel with their people. I am so excited that our church has an opportunity to minister to these people. I heard from Graham yesterday and they made it safely and were about to go eat dinner. I'll give updates as I hear them. Please keep them in your prayers.

While Graham has been gone, Mrs. Renee and I have been busy. She painted two walls in my living room and I have been staining AG's baby bed for her new brother or sister. It has been a lot of work, but I think it will be perfect in the end.

AG starts pre-school today and I am so excited and nervous. I'll let you know how it goes! If you think about it, say a little prayer for my sweet girl this morning. This will be a new adventure for her!
