What an Awesome Day!

Hello Everyone - It's been about 1 month, to the day, since my last post. I thought this was something that I would keep up with...maybe I'll do better in the future...time just seems to pass so quickly during the day!

We've been so busy lately that I'm looking forward to a somewhat leisure week. Two weeks ago Matthew attended Bible School with a friend at New McKendree Methodist church here in Jackson - he had a great time - except that he didn't want to sing! Imagine that - his Daddy doesn't much like to sing either! Last week we had VBS at our church, Cape Bible Chapel, every morning from 9-12. It was an awesome time - we bus in a lot of kids that would never otherwise be reached with the gospel - some of them are so eager to learn. Jacob had an awesome time learning about different bible stories and he LOVED the music. Matthew also had a great time...especially during recreation and bible story time. My part this year was working in crafts for 1st, 2nd & 3rd graders - we had about 18 kids in each class. They did great and loved the crafts!

And...today was our little Matthew's 5th birthday - my does the time go by too quickly. We went up to St. Louis and went to Bass Pro - so much to see and buy! We then went downtown to the arch - there was a 2 hour wait - Matthew was so ready for Chuckee Cheese that we didn't wait. We went straight to Chuckee Cheese and had so much fun - Matthew's favorite was the game where you roll the balls up the alley and they fall into different numbered slots (I just can't think of the name of it!) - Jacob's favorite was the Bob the Builder ride - we couldn't get him off of that! After we left there we stopped at For Keeps Sake, a scrapbook store. Rob took the boys in the play area while I got to shop! (I found lots of nice things, by the way!)

This evening when we got back we went over to Rob's bosses' house to swim - they have an awesome backyard and built-in pool! We had a great time - oh.....I would LOVE to have a pool someday!

I hope you are all doing well and I hope you have a fantastic week!
Take Care,
Becky
