Father's Day

We had a nice Father's Day here Sunday. The morning started with the girls jumping on their dad to wake him up and give him cards and balloons. Grandma and Casey and Alyssa and Cohen showed up around noon with barbeque from The Shed-our favorite barbeque restaurant. We all ate (alot) . We had delicious carrot cake for dessert that me and the girls made since it is their dad's fav. Glen decided since it was Father's Day that he would do just what he wanted (whats new?:) and layed on the couch to watch the golf tournament. Grandma thinks our house is freezing so wanted to go outside. We all went out and let Glen snore on the couch. It was hot but bearable. The kids were cooling down with popsicles and I decided to bring the old plastic pool out of the archives (I bought that pool when Alyssa was a baby and she is almost 9!).

Funny to watch the whole crew squeeze into it but they did and loved it like they have every year. We had some ice cold watermelon for a snack since we had the pool to wash off in. Cohen swam in the buff so I had to edit his pic a little bit ;) The girls ended their day by bathing and shampooing outside which makes that routine much easier-we will do that more this summer.. It was a good day.

Lily gets Christened

Today was a very special day for Lily and our family. She was Christened this morning. I think that she had a feel for what an important day it was for her . Erin and Lee are her Godparents. What a great couple for her to have for spiritual guidance and role models as she grows.

Our little girl has come a long way in last 11 months. My prayer is that she will always hold God in her heart and turn to Him for guidance in everything she does in life. Our children will face so many challenges in life growing up in today's world. How wonderful to know that they have a God who loves them.

For you are all sons of God through faith
in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ have put on
Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free, there is
neither male nor female; for you are all
one in Christ Jesus.
( Galatians 3:26-28 *NKJV )

summer vacation

I figured vacation was a good time to update the old blog. The girls got out of school last week and we packed up the next day to head to Ft. Lauderdale. We did stop for a quick visit to Micky on the way down. It was really a great time to travel. Apparently all schools were not out yet so Disney was not too crowded. When we got into Ft. Lauderdale Sunday of Memorial Day weekend it was very crowded and busy. By the next day it seemed like we had the town to ourselves. The beaches were not crowded and the town was quiet everywhere we went. The girls really enjoyed the beach, water taxi tours and the pool. We also went to the butterfly gardens which was okay but way overpriced and HOT. . It was a really nice, relaxing week. The beach and water were beautiful and we did alot of fellowshipping with the ocean since we do not know what it will be like when we get home with all of the oil catastrophe.
