Our little guy is 10 months old...

Judah was 10 months old on the 24th of this month and we are truly seeing an indepentant little guy emerging. He started taking steps about two weeks ago and as of today is fully walking with very little falling. He gets into everything. He finds everything interesting and toys for this little guy are everything in the house that isn't a usual toy. So our life is filled with chasing him around and finding us saying no all of the time. He is our charmer and the one that will be testing us a lot I believe. Just look at the second picture. You can see it there. Judah Benjamin is a true boy. We hope you enjoy seeing these pictures.

The past week or so...

We have had a crazy but fun week this past week. We have some random pictures of our adventures for you to enjoy. The first two pictures are of Mackenzie and Judah in our play room. I was trying to get them to pose for a Grandparents Day picture to send to the grandparents. These were the only two that even looked good. With two little ones it is so hard to get a good picture. We went to Night of Joy at Disney last weekend with our college students and had a great time. We also spent the day on Saturday at the Magic Kingdom and three of our students who had never been before had a great time. We were tired from the trip but had a great time. We left Friday morning at 5 am and returned on Sunday afternoon around 4:30 pm. I can tell we are getting old because that was a quick weekend. Not only did we have that trip to go to but Matt and I also had to go to a Student Minister's conference in Birmingham on Monday and stay until Wednesday of this week. The middle picture taken at night of the castle like building was where we stayed thanks to Matt's sister. We had a great time of refreshment and worship at the conference and enjoyed hearing Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio speak. The last part of the week was the pictures of Mackenzie at soccer. She had team pictures last night and practice, too. Our first game is Saturday and she is so excited. One of the girl's mom took care of getting bows for all of the girls so they would match. She has such a great time. Thank you Nana and Papa for coming to help us out last week while we were gone and being grandparents.

Alot going on here in LA...

Well, I am not going to update with pictures this time but just give you a glimpse as to how our past few weeks have been here in Andalusia. Mackenzie is enjoying soccer and loving school. Her teacher Mrs. Tammy is great and high energy, which is good for Mackenzie. Matt is enjoying coaching her team and the other 4&5 year old girls. Mackenzie and Judah both have had a little bought with a virus we think but an interesting one. They both refused to eat for about 5 days at a time each. It was a different times but enough to know something was going on. Those darn little viruses can sure make a big difference in a day I'll tell you. All looks good now, I think we are in the clear so far. Matt has been dealing with a cold that came on after our Princess and Warriors weekend with the youth this past weekend. It was an awesome time and we both enjoyed our nights away from home to minister to the guys and girls. Matt's parents had to visit this weekend on their way home from Matt's sister's house in Fairhope, AL. Once the storm started getting closer to them they headed our way. So it was nice seeing them for a quick visit. Janel's parents come in tomorrow to stay with Mackenzie and Judah while we are gone to Disney for Night of Joy with our college students. We will be coming back on Sunday and then on Monday we are going to Birmingham to a Youth Leader conference with Chris Tomlin and good ol' Louie. Janel's parents are gracious enough to help with that too. We will be gone until Wednesday then too. Please pray for us as we continue to stay busy with football games with the students and other activities they do plus ministering as much as possible. We love our adventure here and can't wait to share more in the days and months to come.
