First of all - I am an aunt again! My brother just had his 3rd child - Hayden Cade! I'm not a good enough aunt to take pictures, sorry. but he is adorable.

This week at church we have had Vacation Bible School! My sister, Amber, and I have been working with 1st and 2nd graders. For those who know me, these are like babies to me. I am usually more comfortable with older kids. However, I have learned to love these kids! They are so innocent and so sweet! I wish had pictures of these sweet children!

Today's story was about the crucifixion and the resurrection. So as I was telling the story, I asked a question about something. This sweet little girl said, "Well, He just had to raise from the dead and that's all." It was so sweet! To hear these young children tell how simple, yet how powerful the story of the cross and the empty tomb!

Also this week, Justin and I are headed to Starkville for the weekend. I will be helping Meg with a wedding and Justin is taking the weekend off. It is going to be lots of fun to hang out with Meg and Hunter and have dinner together!

Our weekends are full for the next few, as usual. There is always something going on!
This weekend, we are going to Starkville

Room Service

Justin has been moved to a room this morning!  He is doing great!  All of the doctors and nurses are very excited about his progress.  Before leaving ICU, they removed most of his “stuff” (except for one IV).  This allow him to move around more freely, which is the next step.  Justin will be getting up and walking around this afternoon.  He is also just starting to eat again.  If you think about it, he hasn’t had anything since Monday night supper.  So, it will be like learning how to eat after the stomach virus.  We are praying this doesn’t make him sick.  They will also be giving pain medicine by mouth, so we are also praying that his pain continues to stay under control! He is making such great progress!  I think he is far ahead, especially with moving around, than he was this far out of last year with his surgery!  That is exciting!  Praising the Lord for this! Loving your comments, I read them to Justin as he is dozing in and out.  I can’t wait to read them to him when he is

Mrs. Donna for knowing before the last letter was posted and just heard the letters during choir practice! 5. Larry Swords for correctly guessing through a verbal guess! Charles Elliot McMillen will be joining us in a few short months!  It sounds even closer when you count it in weeks – 15 more weeks to go! Charles – Justin’s father and grandfather both had the first name of Charles!  Charles means strong, manly; valiant one. Elliot – Jehovah is my God – When we first talked about the name, we were still talking about other options until we found the meaning!  We love the meaning of his name! Thank you for playing along in ou

(If you haven’t shared your thankful thoughts, please feel free!) 55. Good Neighbors who take out your trash – So, After seeing that my neighbors had their trash out today (And Friday is normally Trash day), I put out ours.  Then my mom called and said my trash day was tomorrow.  Before I remembered to go get it – The trash was gone.  I’m pretty sure my neighbor took out our trash and the other neighbors trash too!  56.
