Happy May Day, Friends! Today I celebrated by taking off! My mom and I went to LR for a little retail therapy. Things have been a little hairy around here lately, so it was nice to just get away for a little while. I was back in town in time to pick the kids up from school :) Speaking of school, we are all ready for the end of it!! We have to go until the 25th, but have TONS of activities planned between now and then. Take a look for yourself:
Full calendar. Hopefully that means the month will go by FAST!
I have to backtrack now...back to Sunday. We had our fifth Sunday services on Sunday and that included lunch with singing and a guest afterward. Our church helps support the East Kenya Mission Teams, and Bro. James Taylor (one of the missionaries) and his family came to speak to us. This was especially a treat for our Discovery Kids because they have been bringing money and saving cans (for money) to give to him when he came. Bless his heart, he was about 45minutes late and had been triple booked that day, so he had somewhere else to go after he left us....and he had his wife and five kids with him!! It was great to hear about the work they are doing over there. I would love to go there on a mission trip, but I can't see it happening. Not in our budget. They are sponsored by Pauline Baptist Church in Monticello (where Bro. Chad Graves preaches). Great Mission!
Here are a couple of pictures I got that day.
My three awesome kids. I am so proud of them!
Bro. James Taylor (on the left) and my Dad and some of the Discovery kids presenting him with the check. Mrs. Kenya (Bro. Taylor's wife) took a really good picture right after this, and that is when my camera batteries died as well as my phone battery!
It's a miracle! My batteries revived long enough to take this picture of my kids, the Taylor kids, and Gauge (in the hat) while the rest of the family was packing up to move along to the next location :)
I am yawning as I am finishing this....hope I didn't bore you to death. One more day of work, Discovery Closing Program, a field trip to Harding University with T's class, and the Athletic Banquet coming up later this week!!
Hold on folks, the fun is just beginning!
Beth
