Last week was a busy one...Scott flew down south for work for the week. Give you a clue where he went...he got to visit the Alamo. He said it was in the 90s there all week...but not humid like it gets here.
The same week he left we were busy with a dear friends from church making them a dinner. They have a large family...9 kids( TWO sets of twin girls). Their mom had to go in the hospital for several days...thankfully she is ok now. DD helped me make dinner for them...we made chicken nuggets, twice-baked potatoes and two peanut butter pies. Seems like we had been cooking all afternoon! Well, I guess when you cook for 16 people it can be all afternoon!
Anyway, the blessing for me was, after we delivered the dinner..the kids (ages 1yo to 13yo) all thanked us before we left. BUT after we got home...the oldest boy, called us and wanted to say thank-you again and tell me it was the best dinner he had had in a long time! Sweet, huh!
On Weds.,it was hot...92 degrees, so, I decided to take the three youngest to see Mr. Bean's Holiday.(oldest DS had already seen it) It was a riot...that man can distort that funny face so well. It was really a clean movie...an actual "G' rated movie. Afterwards we stopped for a quick burger...it was a fun evening out with the kids.
Thursday, the weather was warm still...85. Funny thing though the house was so warm inside even with the ac on...it was cooler outside. I worried abit after I looked out the window to see the fan blade was not moving even though it sounded like the ac was on. Called the heating and cooling guy and he discovered our 22 yo unit needs to be replaced! I didn't tell my DH till after he got home from his trip!
Anyway, met DH at they airport on Friday night...so glad he is home now!

Its been awhile...
I have been busy...I am sure those of you who read this have been, too, for whatever reason...school starting, fall projects, trips, LIFE! But, I am trying to get back into the swing of things.
We started school on Sept. 4th ...our 14 year. Oldest DS is in his 2nd year of college...his major(which he just declared) is Computor Systems Information... which basically means, he likes to take apart and put PCs back together.
DD started 10th grade and presently working 10 hrs a week as a page at the library.
13yo DS is in 8th gr. and 10yo DS is in 5th gr... they are both involved in playing soccer twice a week.
The most exciting news in we have been planning a new church bldg for 13 yrs. We have been in the present church since 1959. Last Friday, we finally were approved to occupy our new church home! Here is a picture of it.

Our two oldest had seen the new bldg a couple of months back, but the rest of us choose not to see till we had to actually move into it. Well, there was a baby shower yesterday and we got to go to the NEW BLDG. All this week we will be helping out with moving in...most of the stuff was moved into the church several weeks ago. We ran into a few stumbling blocks with the Fire Marshall...but now all is inspected and approved. We have not had Sunday school for the past three Sundays, which has been a nice break for this 3rd gr. Sunday School teacher!
So, this Sunday we will be in our church. Our church family had mixed emotions...all four of our kids accepted Jesus as their savior and were baptized in that church, some were married in it, some raised their families, etc...its a sad time, but it is also a joyful time as we look forward to making new memories in the new bldg.

A Fun Quiz...
My friend Linda Had this quiz on her blog...thought it was a fun one!
Sponsored by After Midnight! (opens in new window)
Dove Lake Bright Blue
The image of a boy sunning himself on a homemade raft out on a peaceful lake is one that speaks to many of us; to you louder than to most. The tranquility, the harmony and balance, that you bring to your craft is the height of perfection. Most of us will never attain such peace; you find it instinctively. If ever you were graded on your art, 'composition' alone would earn you an A.

*****Hmmmmmm, this doesn't sound like me!
