Sassy New 'Do

or in my language ... Emily gets a haircut. A very cute haircut (courtesy of Kristin's Home Salon). She really is this sweet and cute most of the time. Such a joy to be around.

Memory verse practice

Quarterly, the children's Sunday school classes get up front and say the memory verses that they learned for the quarter. Of course, this is a whole family activity when it comes to little ones, so we have been practicing during dinner time. After much humor, we are finally getting better ... so tonight, we took a video of this little ritual. Now, if we can just get them to say it with as much excitement and emphasis during the schedule time. As you can hear from the video, even Jenna has gotten into the fun.

A lawn mowing tradition

Now that spring is here, and the lawn needs mowing; we have resumed one of our traditions with Jenna. Each of our girls have loved to ride in the backpack while I mow the lawn, and now it is Jenna's turn to spend quality time with her daddy as I mow the lawn. I must say that I am thankful for cooler weather and a flatter yard in Illinois as compared with Tennessee - as it is clear that I am either out of shape ... or getting older. I'm not sure which of those is easier to admit to. Anyway - Jenna and I had a great time mowing the lawn, singing, and enjoying the beautiful weather.
