You Gotta Start Somewhere...

What do you do when you've gotten terribly behind on blogging but you have loads of stuff that HAS to be documented??  You start somewhere, that's what...you just gotta start somewhere.  So here's to having a life that has finally begun to settle down, a house to call our own again, and a computer with high speed internet :-)  Now time to begin catching up!!

Sweet Clara after her bath tonight

We all, and I mean ALL of the Taylor clan, had a fabulous time at our first VBS at Fairview last week, Agency D3.  The boys had a blast and couldn't wait to go each day.  The first morning Mac woke up and said," Mom, what's something that doesn't take long to fix for breakfast so we can hurry and go to Agent CD3??"  Later in the week he figured out it was Agency D3 and learned all of the songs.  So...just when you think the week is over, they give each child a VBS soundtrack and it lives on in the car FOREVER!!!  I'm all about discovering, deciding and defending, but sometimes you just need a break! haha

Loves her Daddy

Found Mac at snack time

When Bible School was over, Sam had a lock-in with the students so the kids and I loaded up and went to see the fam (let me just add that I am loving this aspect of living in Mississippi!!)  A year or so ago PePaw and Mac made a birdhouse that we are still loving and talk about often.  Drew decided that he wanted to make a green birdhouse with PePaw...well, as soon as PePaw found out, he was right on it.  My dad is so great doing projects with the kids, just like he was with me when I was little.  Love that he's passing on the skill of working with tools. 

Deciding how big the bird hole should be in the side

While PePaw and Drew were working, Mac wanted to make his own creation

This makes me so happy to see in the mornings.  The boys come and lay in the bed with Clara while I finish getting ready.  Such sweet, sweet brothers always looking out for their "Princess."

We had a fun visit the week before last from Mrs. Rhonda and Sarah.  So good to see their faces and catch up.  Nevermind, that Drew choked on a hot dog and threw up all over the place!!!  No big deal since everyone else was finished eating and it didn't get on the treat bags that Mrs. Rhonda brought for them :-)
