The weekend so far

Yesterday after nap, Memaw and Papaw came to get E and C, so they could spend the night with them. They went on vacation last week and drove all the way to New Mexico and did some sight-seeing out there. Keith got some yard work done, since he'll be gone for a while, and then we decided to go to Little Rock. Actually, we were headed to Jonesboro until some pretty severe weather headed this way and it was clearer in LR. Our first stop was Kohls, where Keith got some more shorts to take to camp. I called my parents and they were on there way to Little Rock too! So, we met up and shopped for a bit, then ate a late dinner (I can't remember the last time I ate dinner at 9:00) at Outback. It was soooo yummy! And I think that wasn't just b/c it was so late and we were hungry. After dinner, we went to Walmart and Keith bought a new tv. It will eventually go in our bedroom, but for the next 2 weeks, it will be in a dorm room at UCA.

We left LR last night at 11:00pm - and had totally forgotten that we had to be on the road to Walnut Ridge to see the girls perform at flag camp by 8! We made it just fine. Oh my gosh, it was hot on that bus. But, it was nice just to hang out with Keith and some of the band moms and girls. They did really well at camp and won several outstanding awards. Go Pioneer band!

While we were smothering on a bus, Keith's parents took E and C to Bethesda Day. They had a blast. There was a parade and E was so excited b/c Papaw drove the firetruck and Eli got to ride and turn on the siren! They had games and a bounce house and then, they even took a nap when they got back to Memaw and Papaw's house. I know they must have been so tired! But, I'm sure they all enjoyed it!

Tomorrow is church and then K leaves for camp after lunch. He's on the board this year and next, so that means 2 weeks of camp (in a row!). I'm a little anxious about how 2 weeks will go with me and E and C all day for that long by ourselves, but I know it will be fine. I have been doing lots of praying about it (and some stressing, of course). Need to do more praying than stressing - and I "ran across" this Bible verse this week "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" Hebrews 4:16 NIV I will be claiming that verse for the next 2 weeks (and should every day anyway!)
