Disney Time

Sorry, I'm so slow about getting back into blogging. I guess I'm still on Disney time. The days seem to be flying by.

Monday night: We had a guest speaker at church, Bob Schrecengost (Schrec). I asked Christian what he thought about Schrec. He said that he was surprised that he wasn't green (like Shrek- the green ogre in the movies) - too funny! We were blessed!!

Tuesday: We started back to school. Christian had Boys' Club (Wooten has aged out of Boys' Club - boy, that makes me feel old) and I helped with Jr. Boys' Club.

Wednesday: School and Wooten had Youth Group at First Free Will Baptist Church.

Thursday: School - Charlie, Lindsey and Levi came over last night for dinner and to chil-lax while Laura and Cameron went out to celebrate Laura's birthday. Happy Birthday, Laura! She's sticking with 25 - sounds good to me! Tom held down the fort while I went to a prayer meeting at church for a couple of hours.

Now, it's Friday, already!! Maybe this weekend I'll have time to finish sharing about our Disney trip. I'm sure we'll want to hit PaPa's pool since it will be closed soon. Good because I love fall, but sad that another summer has gone by.

News to share:
Anya & Darrell (my first cousin and her husband) are expecting a baby!! Due date March 17th (St. Patrick's Day and Rob Lowe's birthday [I remember that from Tiger Beat 1986 -pretty good, uh?]) Congratulations to them and big sister, Natalie and Aunt Gloria (Nana) and Uncle David (Papa).


Colleen & Ronnie (Tom's older sister and her husband) are headed off to the MS Bike Tour in New Bern, NC - from the MS website: The MS Bike Tour is a two-day cycling adventure that challenges riders of all ages, levels and abilities. Participants raise money through pledges and donations that support the fight to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis. Each day includes a 30-mile, 75-mile or 100-mile fully supported race. Way to go!! They get back on Sunday and fly off to Disney World on Monday. Give Mickey a hug for me! Ronnie had a birthday on Tuesday - yikes, was it the big 4 - 0?

Judy and Palmer Laughridge's (friends from church) granddaughters are home!! Elle and Clara are how at home with mom, Elizabeth and dad, Shawn. The girls were born prematurely, but are now over 8 lbs. each. They were born 4 months ago, but their adjusted age is 6 weeks. What a blessing!!

Kay (my stepmother) has been having trouble with her back and leg. She is receiving shots to help out with the pain. I pray for complete healing in Jesus' mighty name!

Darby (Tom's cousin Kathy's daughter) has been diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. She will receive injections once a week and have physical therapy. I know Kathy, Tony and Darby would appreciate your prayers. They are trusting completely in God - may His healing hand touch Darby and manifest throughout her body in Jesus' blessed name!

Bennett has a game tonight. Go Wildcats!!!

Baby brother, Brad had a birthday September 5th. Happy Birthday, Bradley Boo!! He turned 24! (Yea, according to Laura's age scale that makes me just a year older instead of 13.)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!! He had a birthday on September 3rd!! He is still young, he's not quite as old as dirt, yet! Love you, Daddy!!

Today is Mr. Bobby's birthday. Happy Birthday!!

Okay, so with all the birthdays in September, I was thinking what was up 9 months ago - Christmas - guess we know how everyone celebrated.

So, I leave you with this quote from my Max Lucado calendar:
"Accepting your assignment: You weren't created just to consume resources - to eat, breathe and take up space... you were created to add to life on earth."
