Curious George

I just finished playing a Strawberry Shortcake board game with the kids.  I am amazed by how much noise comes out of their mouths 24/7!  I recorded a clip of the chatter that goes on during a game like this.  If you don’t have young children, this might be the best form of birth control….

We had a great time at the Birmingham Baron’s game last night.  I was worried about the girls being able to see, and they did struggle where we sat at first (upper section along the first base line).  The kids wanted to bounce on the inflatables in the park (an outrageous extra $15).  They played a few innings on the inflatables and then we pulled them off to get some ice cream.  We found some seats closer to the field on the third base line and enjoyed our ice cream.  That’s when the girls really got into the game.  I think they cheered louder than anyone else!  Through rain and extra innings, the kids had a blast.  We stayed the entire game and watched some incredible fireworks.  We rolled out of the park about 11:00 pm and dragged the kids into bed around 11:30 pm.  It was a great time and everyone wants to see another game soon.  Thanks to Valerie for the free tickets!!

Here’s a video of Emily singing at her school program tonight

I’m not sure if anyone is reading this, but I am still alive   One of my New Year’s resolutions was to post more on my blog.  I just have to say that God is great and we are having an incredible year so far. 

My kids are growing up so fast…  With the recent death of Bronner Burgess (son of Rick from the Rick and Bubba radio show), I think we have all taken a re-evaluation of our lives.  The Bible says that our lives are a vapor and we don’t know what will happen tommorrow.  I am so convicted that I should see every moment with my family as a gift from God.  I can’t be overwhelmed by the everyday trials of life and miss the blessings all around me.   I am amazed at the grace and strength that God has given the Burgess family.  I pray that the world will look in amazement at the difference Jesus has made for them.  I pray that we will all be spurred into action on behalf of the kingdom of God. 

By the way, you absolutely have to see Rick’s testimony at Bronner’s memorial service.  God is using the death of this young child to spread a revival in our state and possible across the nation.  You can watch it here (three separate parts):
