Had to remind Caleb AGAIN that while Jesus does trump everything, he probably shouldn't play rock, paper, scissors, Jesus.

I had one of the best meals I've ever had: a bologna, cheese & mayo wrap with a Dr. Pepper for lunch. How could I call that one of the best meals? you ask. Because Caleb just brought it to me and I didn't know he was making it. We were down to the end pieces of bread and the last tortilla and he made it for me before he even had anything. (I did tell him where another tortilla was, so he is having a wrap for lunch).

Garrett (5): "Mama, you're always wrong." Me: "You're probably going to think that for the next 30 years. In the meantime you still have to do what I say."

6/7 Took the boat out. Found a place to rope swing. Sam says to me "You're from GA. You have to." I did. All 5 of us did. Fun night!
 

2011 May

Dewayne's final GPA for his M.Div. was 3.60. I'm very proud of him considering while he was in school he worked full-time, ministered, & we had our 3rd child who was hospitalized at birth and has had multiple surgeries (not to mention still making time for friends & family).

Couldn't be prouder of Caleb & Sam. They both got straight A's for their last 6 wks, 2nd semester & year avgs.

Registered Garrett for daycare starting Monday & got in all his paperwork for Kindergarten registration on Monday! Thank you, Jesus!
