Just some pics!

Here's just a taste of some things we've been doing and people we've seen over the past couple weeks...

My college friend and her daughter came over for dinner and a park playdate when Scotty was gone for an evening.

Joy playing with her "tag-blanket" that one of my Bible Study friends made for her.

We have to keep an eye on our roly-poly these days!

We got to visit some old neighbor friends and meet the new babies (they had a son 5-weeks prior and they hadn't met Joy yet).  They had some fun craft time together.

A few days later, Micah and Joy (with my help of course) made some beautiful portraits at home.

Scotty and Micah putting in some stepping stones...

...in the new front landscaping my in-laws gifted to us!

To welcome in our new landscaping, we had a family BBQ at our place (any excuse for a family BBQ is a good one - we just love 'em!)  Here Micah and DeeDee play with some new bubbles from papa and mama Ruth.

Our neighbor was baby-sitting her great-grand-nephew for the day (who's just about Micah's age), and we enjoyed several hours together playing, eating and laughing!

Well, it's time to pack the swing away!  Joy's learned how to lean forward (I can remember when Micah did the same thing)...

Lisa was kind enough to watch the kids for over 8 hours so I could go to a women's day conference at Maranatha's breathtaking campus. It was AMAZING. We studied Psalm 46, taught by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and heard from Gracia Burnham (American missionary who had been a hostage in the Philippines for a year where her husband died in the rescue).
