school musicals

One of the things that I loved about LCCS, was the school programs that they put on. God always receives the glory. I know that He is pleased by these children worshipping Him and truly singing His praises. I get so emotional when I see my children and their friends singing to the Lord. I don't think I made it through 1 program, the last 2 years, without shedding a few tears, sometimes a bucket full. The end of the year musicals were no different. Miss Asthyn had a couple of solos again this year. She continues to amaze me at how much she enjoys "performing" and what a great job she does at it! I do believe we will see her on stage much more in the next few years. And Josiah did great also. This is his first time to actually sing and participate! He always does at practice, but when you put him in front of an audience, it makes him nervous and he freezes up. He did awesome! What a great surprise!

Eisley's Party

Thank so much all you friends and family who came out to help us celebrate Eisley's 1st year. We had a great time and it was actually the most relaxing birthday party that I have had at my house. I think it had a lot to do with Brent making the dinner (yummy jambalaya!) and my neighbor making the cake! Which freed me up to just visit with everyone! The plan was to have the party outside since we had been having such beautiful, high 70 degree weather. But when the freeze forecast came we had to change our plans.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The big day finally came, not that I was in any hurry. It is simply unbelievable that my little baby girl is a 1 year old. I am finally starting to understand how my parents felt when they would tell me how that didn't want me to grow up and that I would always be the baby. It is so true. I think I will always see her as my baby. Can I tell you how much she has changed in this last day? She just acts older! She can now "ruff ruff" to answer the question "what does the dog say?" and she said her first official word tonight "ma ma" ! Can I tell you how excited I was? It took 4 children to get "ma ma" as their first word. Our other 3 children all said "da da" before "ma ma", so it was about time for this to happen. Also, I am quite certain that she must have put on another pound or so. Her precious cupcake dress, that Grana made for her, fit very nicely earlier this week, but was looking a little tight at her party. I guess it could have been all that jambalaya that she ate! Check back soon for the birthday party post with more pictures.
