Church?

I was just wondering what church everyone out there attends? I was looking at the light blue church directory and I was wondering where all you sister go. So if you don't mind let me know and I will put my little blue book by the computer and take a look. We go to the that says Indianapolis-Southport Road. I look forward to seeing where you all go.

Vacation

Well we are on vacation this week. We have had a pretty good week Monday we went to the apple orchard and then today we went to a $1.00 movie (Kung Fu Panda). We have had a pretty peaceful few days. We were going to go to the Zoo today but Jada has hand foot and mouth it is blisters on the hands feet and in the mouth. We were not sure if she would be up to all the walking because she has not been eating and she is kind of puny so we did the movies instead. We are thinking about driving up to northern Indiana to Shipshewana and spending the night but we still haven't decided for sure. Momma Lou was able to be with us for the past few days but she went home today. She has been staying with us and it has been nice to get to spend some time with her. We were supposed to go camping but we postponed that until next summer so we are just trying to do somethings with the kids and enjoying each others company. Hopefully later in the week I will be able to post some pictures.

Pics That Go With the Previous Post

This Jada with her bucket that she has to take to school. They use these instead of back packs because they bring home messy crafts sometimes.

This is me and Jada walking out to the car after school she is wearing her cow girl hat that she made in school.

This is JoHannah's birthday cake and her looking at the cake and trying to figure out why I am sitting it in front of her. She did try to blow out the candles but she didn't have enough air so I did it for her.

Preschool & A Birthday!!

Well I posted earlier about us putting Jada in preschool and we did. She started Wednesday and tomorrow is her second day she is so excited. Before her day started they had all of us parents meet with them to let us know about picking the kids up after school and other information. In the meeting the teacher said that if our child was OK with us leaving to please go on out so that there would be room for the parents of the kids that were having some trouble letting the parents leave. Well Jada did great actually too great for me because she went straight in the class room and got a toy out and started playing and didn't even say bye to me. :( I almost cried. But anyway she did great and loved it and I am so thankful.

Also we celebrated JoHannah's 2nd birthday yesterday she was so cute. Her birthday is actually tomorrow but we had a get together yesterday. I wish we had video taped her opening her gifts because she would pull out clothes and say "pretty" or "so cute". She is so animated for a 2 year old and has a great vocabulary.

Now there will be a another post with the pics because for some reason I can't get the pics on here so I will try on another post.

Trials

I had told you all about the prophecy that my husband received while we were visiting Kentucky earlier this month saying that when he got home he would be facing a great trial. Well I think that prophecy has been coming to pass lately. We have had a few trials to face lately but not just us it seems like our whole body of brethren has been going through some trials. I am just very thankful the it seems like the Lord is carrying us through. We all do still need your prayers. But just talking with a few we are so thankful for the Lord's mercy through this all. I hope that everyone is doing well and I will be thinking of all you brethren who are at Sky Camp this weekend and who knows maybe some day we will be able to join you there.

Crazy Day!!

This morning my husband called me and told me that he thought it would be good to sign Jada up for preschool so I got up and filled out all the paper work, got me and the girls ready for the day and left the house to go run errands and drop off her registration papers. Jada went into the class rooms and looked around and met one of her teachers and she even got to play with some toys. And they have a little play ground outside and she is soooooo excited because they have 4 sea saws!!! So we left there and went to get some other things done and came back home. Well I pulled in the garage and parked and went to turn the car off and the key wouldn't turn all the way off so the radio and the lights and stuff were all still on. Well we had this problem a few weeks ago and Johnny drove the car around the block and parked again and it worked just fine. So I tried that and it didn't work so I called Johnny at work and he told me to drive it to his work and he would take a look at it. He couldn't get the key out either so we took the car down the street to a little garage and the man that looked at it said we would have to take it to the dealership because the keys have those security chips in them, so we took the car to the dealership and they said that if they had to replace the key and tumblers that it would be about $300-$500 dollars but they said to go get a new key and try that first and if that worked it would save us alot of money. We did that and Praise God!!!!!! the key is working fine!! $20 compared to $300-$500 is a huge blessing. I am praying that it continues to work fine and that it is not just a quick fix!! So today has been a pretty crazy day. And to top it all off poor JoHannah is getting sick and I felt really bad dragging her all over town while she is feeling bad but she was a good sport and didn't even fuss at all. I am thankful that the Lord allows me to see the good even when it seems nothing is going right.

Preschool!?

Well we are trying to make a very important decision, weather to send Jada to preschool. We went to check out a preschool last night and we really like it. There were alot of positives concerning the place but we don't want to be to hasty in making these decisions. The teachers both have over 13 years of experience. We were concerned about how they handle the holiday's and they do things the same as we do. They celebrate the birth of Christ for Christmas and the Resurrection for Easter and we were very pleased with that. The price is reasonable and they do alot with the kids. There is a field trip once a month and they require that the parents go which is great because I would want to go anyway. And she would only go 2 days a week to sart so that is great. The one thing that makes us nervous is that it is in a church that is not The General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. We did ask alot of questions about what they taught and it is education based not religious based and the only thing that they do concerning religion as far as teaching is they read 1 Bible story a month and they color a picture that goes with the story. And we feel like that would be OK but we just want to be sure so we have been praying about it and discussing it and tomorrow we have to decide because we have to get her enrolled so that she can start on Sept. 3rd. if we decide yes. So I will try to post again in the next few days to let you all know the decision that we make.
