Greensboro Children's Museum


Jolea and I are in High Point, NC visiting Brian, Lindsey, Isaiah, Levi, and Lucy Morgan this week. We have been hanging around the house a lot, so today, I told Jolea we were going on a "special trip". We went to the Greensboro Children's Museum and had a great time. Jolea got to climb on an airplane, sit in a police car (photo above), play the drums (see video), sit in a postal truck, shop at the Fresh Market, and many other fun things. She also accidentally threw sand in a little girl's face as she was raking the sand. Thank goodness the mom did not get upset! I made Jolea apologize to her, and we moved on from the sand. Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos and videos!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon




Jimmy is working the evening shift this week, so I have Jolea all to myself every evening (and morning) this week. Jimmy is still asleep when we get up and gets home after we go to bed. SO - yesterday we went outside to play, and I thought I would introduce a new toy to Jolea - SIDEWALK CHALK. YIPPEE! We had a lot of fun! You can tell from the picture what she drew and what I drew. She wanted me to write out Isaiah's name, so we added his name to our artwork. She "attempted" to write his name, thus the white lines at the top of the picture. Anyway, we had a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Digital Scrapbooking

I have definately tried to scrapbook before, and I simply do not have the patience for it. HOWEVER, I guess I must be behind the times, because I have discovered digital scrapbooking. Not that I am actually going to MAKE a digital scrapbook, but I am going to use the elements I find to make other things - like the header for this blog. Here are some links for you all to check out where you can download FREE digital scrapbook elements. I am sure there are other websites, but these are the ones I have found that have the best stuff. Have fun!

You Were Created to Accomplish Great Things!

Would you agree that the Olympics have been crazy this year? I am watching the final race for Michael Phelps (400 Medley Relay) as I type - and of course - they won, and broke the World Record - AGAIN! WOW! Talk about beating the odds - his elementary school principal told his mom he would never amount to anything....kids made fun of him in school....boy, were they wrong. You know, Satan tells us the same thing, but we know that our Lord, Jesus Christ created us perfectly and to accomplish GREAT things. Are you up to the challenge?
