Awards Day at Hopewell




Joy recieved an award for making the Principal's List first and second semester. She wouldn't look at me while she was on stage for a picture, but she is wearing the purple jacket. We are so proud of her!

Enjoying the warm weather




















It was 70 degrees today when the girls came home from school so we decided to play outside.

Weekend Summary

Tiffany spent the night with Joy Friday night. I took all the kids to watch Madagascar 2 at the dollar movie (I know I'm a cheap date). The popcorn cost more than the movie. My kids were singing "I like to move it, move it" all weekend. Saturday morning, we took Tiffany home and went to Greensboro for Collin's pictures. On our way home we had to call 911 because we were behind a drunk driver. By the time they switched me over to the highway patrol the guy had hit a tree head on in a yard about 2 miles from our house. It was a terrible thing for my children to witness, but a great opportunity to teach them about drinking and driving. They both prayed for the man when we went to bed that night. They spent the rest of the day playing with their cousin, Gregory. After a great service on Sunday morning, we came home and had lunch. By the time I got the dishes cleaned it was time for me and Natalie to leave to go to the Wake Forest game. They were playing Boston College. Wake started pulling away with about 6 minutes left on the clock, so Natalie and I decided to leave so we could make it to church (We were late after witnessing to a homeless man in the parking lot at the game). Our friend, Roger, was there speaking. He did a great job! Several people went up for prayer afterwards for salvation and then half the church got prayed for to have a deeper love with God. We all need that! I don't think you can be too close to God. Before we left, Roger gave Joy and Natalie each a flattened out penny that had the ten commandments on it. We are going to try to punch a hole through it to make a necklace for the girls to wear to school. We were sad that we didn't get to talk to Lance on his birthday Sunday. We did call his cell phone and sing Happy Birthday on his voice mail. Natalie sang to him in Spanish afterwards. He turned 30 years old. Lance, you are a wonderful person and we are proud to have you as a part of our family. Oh, I almost forgot, Collin finally started taking whole milk Saturday night. He's only been drinking whole milk (no formula) since then and so far no problems. Yea Collin! Now we need to transition to a sippy cup.

Having fun outside








Joy, Natalie, Collin, and Gregory had fun spending some time outside in the 60 degree weather today. Gregory is my nephew. I was happy he wanted to come over for the day. Jamie took him for a ride on the four wheeler.

Picture Day







Well, it was super crowded and the lady taking the photos had no personality. Oh well! I still have a handsome son.

He cracks me up!

I love to hear Collin laugh. Either he's really happy or just drunk on formula or both.
