Birthday Bash!

Well today is the big birthday bash: Jesse and Nathans' birthday!
OK, really their birthday was yesterday, but Daddy had to attend graduation at Samford that night so we are having the party tonight. We will post pictures when there are pictures to post!
Last night we took Tex, the Papillon, back home. We miss him, but we are glad that he is home.
After that, we went to a book discussion about the book Out of the Silent Planet, which is the the first in C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy(the book is, not the discussion).
We are enjoying school being over, the last day was Thursday because we always finish the day before the Birthday.

Million dollar question: Jesse and Nathan were born on the same day nine years apart. Is there a name for this kind of twin?

Happy Mothers Day!

Luke 11:27 "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you!"

May all the mothers in your life be blessed!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Tex

This past week, our pastor went out of town and we have been babysitting his two month old Papillon, Tex. Aren't his ears cute? One flops down and the other one stands up. Papion means butterfly in french and the dogs were named this because both ears are supposed to stand out like butterfly wings, but we hope his ears stay this way!!

No puppies were harmed in the taking of these pictures.

What's New

Hey, it's been a while since the last post so here's a few pictures.

Abby and Becky got some new flowers for the gardens.

These are wildflowers that came from a wildflower seed pack. Any ideas what it is?

Summer is coming!! Today we reached over 90 degrees F outside (94 F at Samford, not far from here). New records are being set throughout the state of Alabama!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Just wanted to wish everyone who checks in on this blog a very Happy Ressurection Day!!!

We will be enjoying a day of rejoicing, fun, and eating.

Short Update

Well, seeing as we haven't updated this since spring break, I thought it might be a good idea to fill everyone in. We haven't been doing much, besides regular routine stuff: piano lessons, school, zoology classes, school, and school. All routine. There have been a few differences, however, in our schedule. Over the past two weeks we've been helping our friend prepare her new house to move in. Things have been going smoothly there, and we hope to have her moved in within a few weeks. Also, today (Saturday) Sam and I (Jesse) competed in the AMTA Auditions for piano. We both feel OK with our performances, but we won't learn how we did until next week. We didn't play perfectly, so it's up to the judges.
Some of you might have noticed that there were some powerful storms coming through our area. We came out fine. We all had to sleep downstairs for awhile for fear of tornados, but (amazingly) we didn't even lose power.
Next week most of us (except Nathan) will be taking the SAT tests. Aside from those things everything is normal here. Spring is coming. It seems like it rained green paint last night. Everything is beautiful. We are looking forward to celebrating Easter next week.
Well, that wraps up the update. Hope and pray everyone else is having a good spring as well.
