Should We Be Concerned?

For all of you who know our family football ties, the picture below is concerning. Emily colored this Tuesday at Sonshine School. Needless to say I was shocked and wondered were we went wrong? Having an orange football, in a red football home is strange and confusing and we find ourselves wondering if this is a sign of things to come??? Don't get me wrong, we have no problem with the color orange itself, but when combined with the football, this is worrisome. I think this means we have more teaching to do. We like OSU, except the beginning of October when they play OU, but if this is for Texas, well, we have some serious discussions ahead of us. :-)

Emily's First Date

Emily had her first date last night. Disney's Princess on Ice is at the State Fair and her Daddy took her out to see it. She got dressed up for the occasion and had a wonderful time. Randon said she watched intently and he bought her a banner to commemorate the event. She fell asleep on the way home, but woke up to tell me about it and show me the pictures Daddy took. She was even sweet enough to get me a cinnamon roll before heading home. I think it was a very special night for them both!

Ready for a fun night with Dad!

This one is blurry, but you can tell she is enjoying the show!

She didn't want to miss a thing.

Mexico Fun

Here are a few pics from our trip to Mexico at the end of July. We went to a quite town south of Playa and had an amazing 5th anniversary trip.

Country Kids

We went to Randon's great aunt's Sunday night for a family get together. It had been awhile since we had seen some of the family. We had a great time, and the kids love the ability to just run everywhere. Emily was taken with playing on the hay bales this time. The kids just love being around the tractors, cows, and hay. It like a vacation for them. I enjoy the slower pace too and the uninhibited view of stars. These two views of precious kids were priceless too!

In Case You Ever Wondered.....

Jesus is at Hobby Lobby. This week, while singing "Knock Knock, I heard Jesus knocking..." I came to the end of the song and sang "I was smart to let Him in my heart" when Emily interrupted and said, "No, No. Jesus is at Hobby Lobby." I really don't know why she thinks He is there, but she is convinced He is. So next time you are in Hobby Lobby, be on the lookout!

BTW... I will try to keep up better on my posts.

Mission Vienna

Our friends have been in Vienna one week. They have been in our constant thoughts and prayers during that time. It is somewhat hard to believe they are really there now. We have been praying and planning for their departure for three years. I know God will accomplish amazing things through them to impact Vienna and Europe. Please keep this Mission Team in your prayers as they impact God's kingdom!
