Psalm 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

Update on the Latest Happenings

Saturday was Will's birthday party. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the sprinklers, sliding on the Slip N' Slide, playing in the pool and jumping on the trampoline. Because I was busy getting everything set up, I forgot to put sunscreen on Will and Hannah. They both got sunburned and Hannah, of course, got the worse of it. We spent the next few days doctoring them up and coating them in aloe. While taking pictures Saturday, we forgot to get some of the kids playing outside. The kids who came were: James, John, Will G, Nathan, Jonas, and Layne. Of course, Hannah, Will and Andrew were there too. Andrew was asleep and woke up just before we started eating pizza. After everyone left, Nathan and my bunch played outside more and made our slide a water slide. They were also spraying the trampoline with water to get even wetter while jumping.

Monday, because Hannah was still having trouble with her sunburn, she missed her softball game. (They still won 20-4.) Her friend Brittney came over and stayed the night then spent all day Tuesday with us. The girls had a blast.

Tuesday was Will's fifth birthday. He opened presents from us (a couple of Thomas the train sets). For lunch, we went to Chuck E. Cheese so the kids could play. I promised the girls we would drive by Graceland, Elvis Presley's mansion, so we went by there afterwards.

Hannah had another ball game last night and she was able to play. While she was at bat, she hit the ball and made it to first. During the next play, she got out just as she got to second. Hannah was upset she got out and started crying. All the moms were worried that her sunburn was hurting again, but she was fine, just a bruised ego. At Hannah's next time at bat, she ran to first then stole second. During the next play, she tried to run to third base but the other team had the ball close by so Hannah darted back to second. She barely made it. Next, she ran to third base and almost got tagged but Hannah ran ragged and got on base. She ended up making it in to home during the next play. Way to go Hannah!! She is still talking about her trip back to second and then to third. The Diamond Dolls won. The score was either 16-4 or 18-4, I can't remember which.

Andrew had his first bubble bath last night. He would put his hands in the bubbles, lift it up, then just stare at them. Sometimes Andrew would turn his hand over and shake it in an attempt to get the bubbles off. He was sooo funny to watch.
