Bo's Birthday

A few pictures from Bo's birthday in October. We had a joint party with Lowe Sims at D1. The boys played kick ball, dodge ball and football.  Most importantly, they had a lot of fun!

Several months ago Austin was asked to speak at the Clinton School of Public Service. It was a really neat school to visit and a special opportunity for Austin. 

Here is how the school website describes their speaker series:

The Clinton School hosts free public programs, guest lectures and community conversations featuring internationally-prominent leaders and timely topics. This series not only enhances the education of Clinton School students, but also provides a venue for the public to engage in intellectual discussions on the issues of the day. The lecture series features a diverse array of programs ranging from senators, congressman, cabinet officials and ambassadors to renowned academics, corporate CEOs, philanthropists, authors and journalists. The school also screens documentary films and hosts book signings featuring authors from all genres.

For anybody who wants to watch it........

All about my Bo

First of all, Bo is making excellent grades! At his parent-teacher conference, his teacher said he is really coming out of his shell and even enjoys speaking in front of the class some.

Are my kids the only ones who treat the grocery store like a playground??  I tried lots of different consequences but this was one they really hated. HA!

Bo had to create an Island and label all of the parts….he, of course, made Elephant Island.

He got to take his best friend, Matthew, to Oxford to see the Rebels play football and basketball!

For his birthday weekend he had a soccer tournament…..which his team won! And he scored a goal!

Then he got to invite some boys over on Sunday since JA was out of school on Monday.

Ebbie created this sweet card for Bo's birthday.

Love y'all!

Austin's Surprise Party

We had a great time at Austin's party. I can't believe I was able to keep it a secret…..I'm the one who says on Christmas eve "Let's go ahead and open presents". But I did keep quite and Austin was very surprised.
Thanks to all who came - You're my favorites!!!!

My Favorite Night

Tonight was one of my favorite nights ever with my sweet Lou.  She crawled into bed with me and asked me to find the "bless the Lord, oh my soul" song on my phone so she could sing it.  Once I pulled the video up she snuggled up to me and we sang as she tapped her foot against my leg.  

God is really working in this little girl's life!
