We finally got Abby's zed cards today. She had a photo shoot back in September in Memphis, TN and with our big move, and settling in, we just got around to getting to the next step. We'll be able to hand out the zed cards at any auditions she has and send them in to any agencies. Abby loved the photo shoot and wants "to be in a magazine". If something does come of it, it would be great to pay for college.If nothing comes of this, we sure did get some great pictures out of it and we're happy with that. Abby will probably have moved on to wanting to be a ballerina again and would be okay too. I'll try to upload some of her pictures taken at the photo shoot.
Caleb had a little fall today at school. He tends to get ahead of himself and today that resulted in tripping over someones foot on the way out. I guess he was really excited about getting home.
They said he landed right on his tooth. That's not funny, really, but I've tried to picture what that would look like. (I'm not a terrible mother. You know that's funny.) Anyway, his tooth looks fine and he was acting like normal by the time we got home (all of 30 seconds later) so I think he'll be okay.
Have I mentioned lately that I'm excited about my parents coming to visit?! 4 days and counting! Please pray they'll have a safe trip out and that we'll have a safe trip to San Antonio.
Thanks!

Sleepless Nights

Why am I up blogging past midnight? I just couldn't sleep tonight. Or..... could it be that I'm just being such a good pal hanging out with Alex the hamster while he runs on his little wheel? It's been a crazy few days. Ella has been sick; fever, runny nose, croupy cough, and now Caleb feels sick. My parents are flying in on Sunday morning and we're flying out Sunday afternoon for the convention. I'm so excited about them coming. I'm excited about the convention, but I'm also excited about getting back and spending time with mom & pops. I sure do miss my family. Just knowing we're so far away makes me really sad sometimes. But I know God has a plan for us and we want to be exactly where he wants us. I'm also thankful for all of the wonderful friends we've made in all of the places God's used us. Isn't it neat to think how God has this path for us and if we stay faithful and follow that path, he has amazing blessings for us? I've seen so many in our ministry so far and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for us. I mean, who would have thought we'd be living in southern California one day. I sure didn't.
Well, I guess I'll sign off and try to get some rest. I'll send some new recipes soon. Thanks again for reading!
