Kids in the backyard with $1.00 store silly string… check.

Babies inside so we can ooh and aah… check.

Guests of honors (band members going off to college) playing Rock Band… check.

Dani – who received a compliment from Simon during her American Idol try out! – rockin’ on microphone… check.

Kids moving inside because it is too hot outside – and playing upstairs for two hours without a peep… check.

Another picture of Mackenzie because she is so happy and cute all the time… check.

Sweet Cindy, Bree and Rachel… check

When we moved here, Brian insisted that I jump in and get involved in choir again… something I haven’t done since before my sweet kiddos.

I joined the 9am traditional choir. A few weeks later the kids joined the Cherubs and Choristers – their respective kids choirs. Then, I joined the 11am Praise and Worship band. We have met the most wonderful people and it has helped my transition here (I know – it’s been a year, but I still feel like the new kid sometimes).

I am so thankful that Brian insisted that I get involved again. I love every minute… and the Pot Lucks… that is a bonus!
