What's Going On Here!

I just wanted to give you all a little update of what's been going on around here. I've had a really busy week preparing for my parents, Aunt, Grandma and one of my dad's friends to come and visit. Our house will be really full so I wanted every room to be spotless and ready for them. I went through Brookie's room and packed away a ton of clothes that didn't fit her anymore and found some new ones that will fit her now that I forgot I had! That was a nice find. It was like Christmas, pulling out all of these new clothes with the tags still on them and everything! :)
This Sunday starts our annual Missions Conference at our church. It's a pretty amazing week, but takes so much preparation and work! Each classroom is elaborately decorated as a country, and everyone gets to walk through one room per night to look around and sample some food from that country. The teachers do such a good job decorating! The fellowship hall is also decorated as a country where we eat each meal. It takes a few weeks to decorate everything.
We also have a ton of music, so we've all been practicing like crazy. Robby, Joanna, Nate and I are singing, "Thank You for Giving to the Lord" after a play one night. We spent hours practicing that and "Arise My Love" that we are singing on Sunday morning. Last night I recorded the songs on the Clavinova and we practiced with it. They are coming together. They're hard songs since we only had the music for a solo and no more parts.
On Saturday before everything starts, we are all going to San Antonio again. My Grandma and Aunt have never been there. We're going to take the boat ride and look at the Alamo, then have dinner on the River. Monday we are having a girl day, which obviously only involves shopping and eating! :)

So, that's what's going to be going on in the next week or so. We will be physically exhausted at the end, but spiritually filled and refreshed!

I'll leave you with some recent pictures!

Gotta love Sonic! Daddy took her to get her own Cherry Limeade!

We are about a mile from Starbucks, so we walk up there a lot and this is us one night enjoying our drinks :)

I let her eat oatmeal by herself, so this is what it looked like at the end. She loved it though :)
