We need a caption!

Can you think of a good caption for this picture? We are looking for some funny captions. We rarely get any comments on the blog and thought this would be a fun way to get a few! We are shooting for at least 10 comments. Have some fun!

Caroline and I took a few self-portraits this evening. She loved it and we had fun! Just us girls!

This is Caroline and her good friend Cameron! She talks about him all day long.

Thanks for my new outfit, Grammie! My parents think I look so cute!

A Trip to Chuck E. Cheese

Last week we took our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese for Caroline's friend Cameron's birthday! What an experience. Luckily it was a Tuesday night so it wasn't very busy. She had fun, as you can see from the pictures. She still talks about Chuck E. (as she calls him).

(No, that isn't me in this picture, it's Cameron's mom.)

Waiting on cake and pizza!

Thanks for my shoes, Uncle Tim! I can finally fit into them!

Caroline is eating things with a spoon these days. So, I let her try chili one night. What a mess!

This is how I found Caroline when I went to check on her during a nap. She was usually awake at that time so I just peeked in her door. This girl loves to read!

Just a cute one!

It's my Honey's birthday!

Okay, okay, I know that Kim is usually the one that posts on this blog. But today I’m taking a crack at it because this is a very special day. Today, Kim is turning another year older. Now, I’m not going to tell you exactly how old that is because it is not polite to tell a woman’s age. I will tell you that she was born in Phoenix, AZ, in 19—oops, almost gave it away there. She went to UCF like I did and graduated in –ahh, it almost slipped out again! I know: I will tell you one reason I love her for every year of her life. I will let you do the math should you so choose. That shouldn’t get me in trouble…right?

*She loves the Lord with all of her heart.
*She is really creative and knows more than a thing or two about interior decorating.
*She has a beautiful singing voice.
*She loves staying home with Caroline.
*She knows to order my CFA sandwich with no pickle.
*She introduced me to Cheerwine (don't worry, it's a soft drink).
*She is completely loyal to UCF football and UNC basketball.
*She would totally rock an “air drums” competition!
*She is the best cook in the world. (If you know her at all, this goes without saying.)
*She still reaches for my hand every time we pray.
*She leaves her phone alarm on “Everyday,” but forgets it when she goes to bed (picture hide-and-seek with the phone at 6:15am)
*She has coupons for practically every store in America, and she knows how to use them.
*She is a good running partner.
*She makes sure that I am color-coordinated before I walk out the door.
*She keeps me laughing.
*She has a pretty crazy laugh herself.
*She supports me unconditionally in the ministry.
*She does great impersonations of some Southern Gospel singers.
*She is okay driving a nine-year old CR-V, but dreams of a new Odyssey some day.
*She can spot a good deal at a garage sale from a mile away.
*She secretly gives me sweet tea (ugh!) just to watch me wince from the unexpected taste.
*She is organizationally gifted (which is good for a pack rat like me).
*She worked hard to support us while I was in seminary.
*She surprises me with chocolate milk when she goes to the grocery store.
*She encourages me when I get discouraged.
*She does not mind getting Caroline up by herself so I can go run sometimes.
*She knows how to fold my socks.
*She asks for the phone when the telemarketers call.
*She has a gorgeous smile.
*She loves me…in spite of me.


Happy birthday, Kim! I love you more each day.

Yours…

Last week Caroline made a pumpkin craft during story time at the library. It's now hanging on our fridge!

Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally

Last night the local high school had its homecoming parade and pep rally in downtown Senoia. The streets were closed early in the afternoon and excitement filled the little town! Because of the possibility to reach hundreds of teenagers and their families, Ryan set up a booth for our youth group/church. A few weeks ago he designed cups in the school's colors and put church information on it. We gave away free drinks and it was a blast! The community really responded well, especially the teenagers! It was great to see them so excited about us supporting them. The football team was so excited about "that cool guy that keeps bringing us drinks" that they gave him a homecoming shirt! All in all, it turned out to be a great outreach for our church! We look forward to having some visitors and pray for families that were touched.
As you can see from the pictures below, Caroline had fun too! She hung out with the youth girls who took her to see the parade, local doggies, and the football team. She even had a trip to the library with the pastor's wife.

Here are a few fun pictures from today. Caroline kept us laughing at lunch today. When she napped this afternoon, she decided to read instead of napping! (Her book baskets are beside her crib.)

Going to the chapel...

A few weekends ago we had the opportunity to go to a friend's wedding near Savannah. We got there and helped a little before rehearsal, went to rehearsal and dinner, and then the wedding the next day. It was great to be at Ellen's wedding! Here are some pictures a friend took while we were there.


Intently watching the rehearsal...
Grandma and Grandpa made the trip too!
