Big School Boy!

September 12, 2011

Our "BIG" lil guy started preschool today. He was so excited to be going to the same school his big brother Landon did for two years.

He needed a little bit of encouragement to stay.

Six Months Today

September 12, 2011

Our sweet Zachary is six months old today. That smile is almost a constant. He is so happy and loves his big brothers. His favorite foods so far are squash and anything with mango in it:-)

He is starting to explore and grab anything he can reach. As you can see from the picture below....his feet have become his favorite treat!

Charlie's Lunch

September 9, 2011

We went to see one of Darren's childhood friends Tommy Walker play in a benefit concert for his sisters organization Charlie's Lunch. It is an amazing outreach that provides meals for children in poverty stricken countries and gives them the opportunity to feel the love of Christ and be exposed to the gospel. You can read more about Charlie's Lunch here. http://www.charlieslunch.com/

Our worship pastor Derek Overton is a huge fan of Tommy's. He got together members of our worship team to come and be a part of the choir singing with Tommy. It was an awesome time of worship!

That is Derek on the left posing with Tommy and the rest of our awesome worship team!

MOPS

September 6, 2011

I have volunteered on the steering team for our local MOPS group the last two years. Mother's of Preschoolers is an amazing outreach for moms with children in the preschool years. It was one of the first outings I attended in Palm Coast when we first moved here. I met some great gals and formed friendships that have been such a blessing to me. This is my third year serving on this committee with some wonderful gals....April, Heather & Dusty.

Mrs. Mary Littleton is giving our morning devotion to all the ladies in the picture above. Her husband is the pastor of First Baptist Church where we have our meetings. They are wonderful people and Mary has made a best friend in Ayden because she learned his love language....FOOD!

Here's a few pictures of the great gals joining us this year for MOPS.

Our theme this year is based on developing a mothering strategy in the game of life. We stayed with the game theme and decorated all the tables with popular board games.

We usually have a craft every month and this one was name tags for the year.

We have a great group and I can't wait for our next meeting!

Birthday Girl

September 4, 2011

Today was Olivia's birthday. Olivia's mom and I have been best friends since the 6th grade.

They have relocated to Palm Coast and are staying with us until they find a new home here. Olivia loves hibachi so we went to our local hibachi steakhouse for some birthday dinner.

After dinner we shared some yummy cake with the birthday girl.

Olivia and her big brother Dylan.

Palm Coast put on a fireworks show to celebrate Labor Day. The kiddos had a blast running around before the show. Zachary even enjoyed the fireworks...all smiles from that boy.

It was a great day had by all! Happy Birthday Sweet Olivia!
