Evidently I'm not very good at keeping up with a blog...
My heart hurts for our friends. It was so good to see their faces and hug them a few weeks ago, but I think I still cry almost every day when I think of them. Pray for them - www.maxeyweb.com
In more normal news, Papa Bear is finally permanently employed!!! Now we just need to get rid of a little debt, and build the emergency fund back up. We are praying Papa's car and the house behave themselves until the finances are back in order. It will be nice to have real health insurance (don't get me started) and prescription coverage again.
Goldilocks is enjoying AWANA at church, it thrills my heart to hear her learning Bible verses.
Curly Bear is continuing to grow her curly hair, is a daredevil, and loves to smile! She is gaining print awareness at 16 mths. go girl! she starts yelling the names of letters whenever she sees the alphabet.
We are really enjoying our zoo pass this year, and we are able to take friends with us on our pass. Last week, we took our youth ministers' family with us and I made sure I took the camera and posted the pictures on facebook for him to see. (He is d*ployed right now)
Curly Bear was being a little goofy...
The big girls
This semester I am taking Theory of Reading - yuck! Material isn't all that interesting, but I love my professors, and the class of almost 40 has a lot of, errrr, "interesting" personalities in it. I've got part of a paper due monday, gotta get cracking! My other class is about Co-teaching, sort of interesting. I'm studying for a midterm on Thursday.
I'm already looking forward to graduation this next summer. We are definitely throwing a party!
When our good friends came to visit recently, we took the kids to Fernbank so the the dinosaur crazy boy could see the bones. It was amazing to see how big these replicas were. In our house we call them dinosaurs, but we got an education that week about all of the names of the different dinosaurs and what they ate and stuff.
After lunch we decided to take the kids to the zoo since we were close by and the weather was nice after weeks of cold and rain. Here is the annual pic of these 2 buddies.
The animals were really surprised to see us after all the cold weather, and we saw maybe 10 other people at the zoo that day. Even the male panda stopped and stared at us for a few minutes, I've never seen the pandas pay any attention to people before. Here is a picture of the funny bird that likes to follow little girls.
