Just some random stuff

Deeper Still was absolutely incredible this past weekend. Priscilla Shirer and Beth Moore were wonderful as usual and Kay Arthur blew my mind. She brought it! She wasn't playing around. There were crushed toes everywhere I'm sure :-) But we all left with our spirits uplifted.

Janet, Tiffany and I had some good girlfriend time. Janet and I don't get to see each other much anymore, so we love it when we can get together. Mandisa and Travis Cottrell were awesome and the praise and worship was so good. And I ate too much from the concession stands. There is something about concession food that I can't resist. I had popcorn, m&m's, some of Janet's nachos and pretzel, chicken and fries (with cheese no less), a Snicker's bar at midnight when we got back to the room and the breakfast buffet at the hotel. Not only did my spirit get filled up completely to overflowing, my tummy did too. I'm sure I gained 5 pounds :) We got to talk to Travis Friday night too. He is so awesome!
I will post some more about the messages soon, but in the meantime, you can check out BooMama's recap at the AllAccess Blog. There is a great video of Beth, Kay and Priscilla "gettin down" to Shackles. You have to check it out :-)

There are a few things I've been meaning to post for while, so I am going to throw them all together in a hodge podge of updates.

First, thank you all for your prayers, emails and encouragement during the last two weeks. Spencer is doing better and we have started the "count up" again. Tomorrow will make a week seizure free. We are still adjusting to meds, so please continue to pray for him.

I was especially moved by an email I received today from Michelle at Delightful Evidence. In it she gave me this verse: Here I am with the children the Lord has given me to be signs and wonders from the Lord of Hosts who dwells on Mount Zion Isaiah 8:18 I just loved this verse.

Also thanks to Carol who spent all day at the hospital with us last Tuesday.

We leave for Science camp at RMSC on Thursday and then to Canine Assistants for training on our new seizure dog the next weekend until July 25th. I'm sure I will be posting lots of new pictures of the new member of our family soon.

Spencer got glasses about 2 weeks ago and he looks absolutely handsome in them.Mary Lyndsey had her dance recital about 3 weeks ago and she was absolutely precious. She danced her little heart out. Pretty in pink doesn't even begin to describe her.
We also received Yard of the Month in our neighborhood for June which is really quite comical considering in our last neighborhood we used to get letters from our Home Owner's Association threatening us because we needed to cut the grass, trim the hedges and weed the borders. And we are even busier now (since we moved here) than we were then (when we lived there).

I must admit the work has mostly (read completely) been done by Greg. I told you girls he was my own Mr. Incredible. When I returned from She Speaks last weekend he had cleaned the ceiling fans, washed all the sheets and made the beds, unloaded the dishwasher, vacuumed the entire house, did all the laundry, cleaned out my car and filled it with gas, and bought groceries.

He's got me singing "What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man!" (BTW... his primary love language is words of affirmation... I'm not bragging, just gotta fill up his love tank)

But lest you think my house is perfect... let me show you what my beloved little angel Mary Lyndsey's room looks like right now.

And doesn't she look completely innocent in this picture.

The kids got a swing set last weekend and they have been having a ball. Every kid in the cul de sac now wants to hang out at our house and that is a good thing. I'm preparing for the teenage years when we will want them all here so we know what's going on instead of somewhere else:-)

OK... I think that is all the updates for now. I still have a lesson I learned from Niagara Falls bouncing around in my head. Maybe I will get it posted soon.

Hope you all have a blessed week!!
