Well, the five days of Winter have finally arrived in J-ville! It has been in the low 30's for the last couple of nights and we are crossing our fingers it stays that way for a few more days! We were looking to go down into the 20's tonight (and that is BIG TIME here!) but it looks like we will not break the 30's. It is so nice not to run the air in January! It has been in the 80's and rainy since we got home, so this cool crisp air is welcomed!
Derek started coaching again last night over at the PAL. I wish I had remembered to take a picture of B- she was all the rave with her pink and white headband and Dianna Ross hair, large white sun glasses, white purse, WAY too much lip gloss, 2 layered shirts, her pink velour sweat pants with her pleated khaki skirt over it with pink socks and brown shoes! M even asked if I was going to take her looking like that, and I said ABSOLUTELY! if anyone has ever had small children then they know these moments are precious. Now I just have to ask her to do that again so I can get a picture. It looks like this year he is going to take his 14's (from now on I will refer to them as the 15's) again this year! Should be a lot of fun, and they like to travel! So, it may work out well for all of us this year. Another trip to Macon may equate a quick trip to the American Girl Doll store in Atlanta!
M went to her first school dance yesterday. The patrols sponsored it, so I was able to catch a few snapshots of her in between serving, watching, and dancing with my patrols! She acted like she didn't know me--- go figure! I just noticed this must be her new favorite shirt, I think she had it on in her last BLOG appearance! Don't worry we did wash it!
B had a fantastic week- She came home Wednesday to her best friend waiting outside to take her to the park! She was so excited that she got to go to the park with no parents or her sisters! That was a first for her! She does say the funniest things- today while I was at school she was playing Wii Fitness and she says to me when I come home, "Hey Momma, see if you can do this, but watch out because you don't want it to say your old ... like 50!"
Today was a great day for teachers! It was a PLANNING day! It was a cleaning day for us in Room 138! It is great when the kids are out- we actually have a chance to clean the room! You can see more details over at http://www.totalcalm.blogspot.com/!
We can finally say that this was a good week! We felt rested and back into our normal routines of school, dance, and church. We have really been overwhelmed with all the support here, and really are glad to be part of such a great church / school / friend support system. You all have just been great to us.We are going to trek downtown tomorrow, so we should have some great pictures! We will see if we can get Derek to come with us- he does not like the cold, but we may drag him along just for fun!
My momma sent us a great card today... She has such a way with words-
Anyway I will share some...
"People can make all kinds of plans, but only the Lord's plans will happen" Proverbs 19:21
Think about what that says.... The what ifs and should of done will take their place where they belong - the things that happen are NOT always under your control!
I have great parents, even if they have run away to Tennessee! (I hope they make it back before my birthday;-)
