Fathers Day

This year Father's Day was a bit crazy. The prior week our church was busy with "My Jerusalem Week" with mission projects within the church and around the community. The culmination of the event was a block party held on Saturday evening coordinating with Crossover of the SBC. We were all exhausted but enjoyed a great Lord's Day together with Dr. Mark Dever preaching at CABC. Doughnuts with dad at church and lunch at Mastersons completed our family celebration of Father's Day. Here are some pictures taken Sunday morning during the Doughnuts with Dad.

Seminary String Camp

In June the girls attended Seminary String Camp. It introduced them to the violin and they had a great time. We heard lots of "Mississippi Hotdog" during that week. The plan is for them to start taking lessons when we return from summer vacation.

Chicago

With the upcoming 10 year anniversary approaching, Jason and I knew we better celebrate our special day before the busy summer activities began. During the last week in May our parents came up to watch all the kiddos and we had fun on a getaway - destination Chicago. We had such a great time and enjoyed some of the best food I have ever tasted in my entire life. The warm Doubletree Hotel cookies topped each night like a cherry on a banana split.

Fishin' Fun

Saturday, after tee ball practice, Jason stopped by the local bait shop and purchased some worms. The kids had the time of their lives fishing in the neighborhood lakes. They each received fishing poles as a Christmas present and were eager to put them to use. William and Caroline caught fish that were of substantial size. William also learned the correct way to hold a fish. As you can see, it was real fun. Who knew a tub of worms would bring so much excitement?

Mommy Day

Mother's Day 2009 was a sweet day like every Sunday. We had baby dedication for Elizabeth at church that morning and then had a fun afternoon together. I know...these pictures are really funny, especially Elizabeth, poor baby.

Little Graduates

During May we celebrated two graduation ceremonies. Caroline graduated from Preschool and Anne-Marie completed Kindergarten. We are so proud of our girls and their love for learning. Here are some pics from their special night.
