Fruits of our labor...

Today we got to pick these beautiful strawberries from our garden.

Silly Holly

That's a new way to hold your pencil...

We bought Holly these Hamster pencils to chew on to help file down her teeth, but she decided to shove it in her pouch instead. Silly Holly!

The Greatest Show on Earth!

The girls were so excited to be at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Hampton Coliseum!

They each got a cute clown nose to wear. ;)

It was an amazing show. We all LOVED it! Here are some pictures of the extremely talented performers:

Back to Bluebird Gap Farm

Today we went to the Bluebird Gap Farm with Mr. Drew and Amelia.

The girls had fun playing on the playground.

Peek-A-Boo...I see you!

It was a beautiful day at the Farm.

Time to go see the animals.

The peacock put on a show for us.

The deer came right up to see the girls.

Jocelyn had fun feeding the goats and sheep.

Madison liked feeding the geese and ducks.

We couldn't believe how big the bunnies were.

This extra hairy bunny made us laugh.

We finished with a walk down the trail to the water.

The girls and I then went to the Cinema Cafe to watch Gnomeo & Juliet.

Falling!

The girls and I met some friends at a local playground this morning and then went out to lunch with them. On the way home the "BRAKE" light came on in the van, so I drove it straight to the Honda dealership to have it checked out. After waiting an hour for them to evaluate it, they came and told me that the van needed new front and rear brakes. They also informed me that as they were pulling my van into the repair area, they hit something and popped my tire. Since the tire was their fault they repaired it free of charge. The girls and I were getting very bored during our 2.5 hour wait, so we had some fun taking pictures with my phone. The wall in the kid's waiting area was painted like the sky, so we took pictures of us...

FALLING!

Ouch!

The girls always like to help me in the kitchen. Today we were making a treat for Community Group together. As soon as I said, "remember don't touch the stove because it is still hot even though I turned it off" Jocelyn touched the stove. Unfortunately, she learned her lesson the hard way today. Please pray that it heals quickly and does not get infected.

We will miss you...

Aunt Bessie.

Tonight my Great Aunt Bessie was found unconscious in her home. At the hospital the doctors discovered that she had a major hemorrhagic stroke. My parents and grandparents were able to say their goodbyes at the hospital. The doctors are expecting her to pass away during the night. Please pray for my family during this difficult time, especially my Grandma (her sister).
