Our Weekend

Just wanted to share our weekend with everyone.

Friday evening we just played with the kids, watched movies and took it easy. Saturday morning I got up early and met a group of volunteers from the newspaper (including Christy Everest, Mr. Gaylord's daughter) and we worked at our adopted school, North Highland Math & Science Academy. What a transformation, we cleaned flower beds, trimmed trees, picked up trash and planted lots of flowers for the first day of school. It amazes me how giving our employees are and unselfish of their time. Around 9am, Brett showed up with the kids. Pierce wanted to play on the playground (of course) and Sierra wanted to help. Brett finally decided it was time for he and Pierce to go shopping and Sierra stayed with me. She was such a big helper. She really did work hard and even loaded the car when it was time to go. We went home, changed clothes and went shopping...our normal trip to Harry Hines to buy jewelry :) That evening, Sierra and Pierce went with Grams & Papaw to get ice cream. They said they had a lot of fun! Unfortunately, I got sick earlier in the evening and was in bed when they brought them back. FYI, I guess it was a 24 hr bug because I felt better the next morning. It was so sweet though because Sierra and Pierce both laid in bed with me and Pierce kept saying his belly hurt too.

Sunday, we worked another promotion, ShoutFest, an outdoor Christian Festival at Boomtown Ballyards. Megan came over and watched the kids while we worked and even took them over to see Scott and Sharon. She is such a good big sister. We met them at my mom's that afternoon and had a birthday party for Megan. We ate, swam, rode my mom's new go-cart and had a great time.

Tomorrow is the first day of school and Sierra and Pierce are fast asleep. They've played hard this weekend and have been exceptionally good. Oh, I forgot to mention they met a new friend, Will, who just moved in down the street. He is six years old and he and JB get a long really well. We moved into a great neighborhood with a lot of kids their age.

Well, tomorrow's the big day and we're taking Sierra to school. She is so excited and has her new clothes laid out and ready to go. Will post more tomorrow night to give you highlights of her day.

Hope everyone is enjoying life as much as we are.

God is good!
