1. My parents who don't hesitate to come to the rescue.
2. A sweet friend who brought me a fabulous Starbucks drink today just because.
3. New tennis shoes that came from a sweet anonymous gift card donor for my bday. Thank you whoever you are!
4. Kids who love to sing and praise God in loud and fun ways.
5. A wonderful pre-school minister who knows how to encourage people (me) without even trying.
6. Friends who put up with me and encourage me through a week of VBS crafts! I couldn't do it without them.

Funny Conversations
We are participating in VBS this week and are learning all about the Power of God and that He gives us the power to do things (the power to be thankful, the power to be helpful, etc...) A couple of weeks ago, Drew went to VBS with Luke and they learned about creation too. Here is the conversation that took place in my car yesterday on the way to VBS...
Drew: "How does God make all the water without making a mess?"
Me: "He is a mighty big God and He just knows how to do things like that. He even knows how many hairs are on your head. He knows and loves you THAT much!"
Luke: "He even knows how many hairs on a cat."
Drew: "And he knows on a dog too."
Luke: "..And on a skunk."
Drew: "God knows how many leaves are on a tree, too."
Luke: "And on the grass."
Drew: "And he knows how many blood pumps we need to live."
BIG SMILE!!!

I'm Back - I Hope
Wow, have I missed blogging. I really do this to help me remember things and to keep up with what is happening in my life. Things have been so crazy over the last 2 months that I feel like it was all a blur. I'm going to hit the highlights and see if it brings back some memories.
April was a fun month. We celebrated lots of Birthdays (including mine multiple times!) I blogged earlier about the surprise party. I had lunch on my birthday with Ruth and Pop then Jere and the kids took me to get a Reese Blizzard at DQ. My sweet Bible Study brought lots of goodies including an Ice Cream Cake from DQ. See a pattern here?? And the next week I had lunch with my Mom and Stepdad and she also brought me a cake (yellow cake w/ Chocolate icing! My favorite!) These are photos from my Bible Study friends.
We finished up Soccer with Drew this month too. He was on the Spiders team this year and we loved his coaches and team.
We were able to also celebrate my friend Sandi's Baby Shower. We have been praying so long for this sweet baby to arrive and he is absolutely beautiful. This picture has some of my most favorite friends in the world!
We also had some great play dates with Brooks, Jude, Laney, Lindsey, Hallie, Sydney, Skylar and so many other friends. I know so much more happened in April but since I didn't blog earlier I can't remember the details! On to May....
