Boston

Boston and Nonquitt, MA - July 09


Neil and I traveled to Boston in July and had a wonderful time. We spent two nights downtown and saw as many historical sites as we possibly could (plus the Samual Adams Brewery). Then we met up with Neil's aunt and uncle and stayed 4 nights in their Nonquitt summer home. It was a beautiful coastal scene, and the weather was perfect. We even spent one day bike riding on old country roads. It was a perfect introduction to
Boston Harbor New England; we will definitely return!

Westminster Pres. VBS 2009


VBS was a great week - exhausting but wonderful! The theme "Live Like a King" studied a different king of the Bible each day, with Christ, the King of Kings, being the final King. Hayden loved his teacher for the week and had his best buddies with him. During the week they built the armor of God and were able to proudly wear it the final day for all the parents. The week was truly blessed and was a blessing!

T-ball

First T-ball season


























Hayden loved his first T-ball season! They won EVERY game of course! And he only got a trophy the last game because they "won!" As you can see he was "always" focused on the field - well almost. It was so fun to watch because he was so excited wherever he was on the field, but of course he did love it when he actually got the touch the ball - that meant he beat out at least 4 teammates to get the ball! :)

Pinkalicious

PINKALICIOUS

What better way to begin this blog than with a PINKALICIOUS birthday party! Leah loves the book and pink is officially the ONLY color she knows, so the choice was obvious! And Hayden was just as excited as Leah, if not more, for the party to arrive! The children swam, we ate, then for the cake. Neil's mom, Stevie, has made every family birthday cake for the past 40+ years - totally from scratch and perfectly decorated. Well, I had requested just pink cupcakes - pinkalicious of course - that should be simple enough. Well Stevie doesn't know simple and couldn't stand the thought of no real cake, so she totally surprised us with the most unbelievable Pinkalicious cake ever!!!! All Leah could say was "PINK!" Stevie truly is amazing! The birthday was much fun. I think Leah's favorite part was the singing as she BEAMED with all the eyes on her! :)
