Birthdays and other happenings...

Lately we've had a pretty exciting time with all sorts of "out of the ordinary" experiences.

"Happening" #1:
Our little church just celebrated it's 100 year anniversary. We had a "dress up" (in a costume from any era since the birth of First Baptist) Sunday celebration, with a church luncheon and a giant birthday cake and everything! Pretty neat histroy behind this church- faithful to Truth!

"Happening" #2:
I had a 28th birthday. I had a picnic lunch on the day (May 3rd) with my kids, sister-in-law and her boyfriend. Jer took me shopping for a couple of maternity shirts. I planned a girl's night out last night, to celebrate friendships! We saw a movie (at a theatre, might I add; haven't done that since who knows when!), and then went for coffee and desserts at Red Robins. Good time with a bunch of ladies! My mom came this weekend and took me shopping for things that I never just GET for myself! More celebrations to come next weekend: Mother's Day etc. WOOHOO! I love celebrating (even without the gifts!)

"Happening" #3:
We had six garbage bags FULL of boys' clothes given to us from a lady we don't even know! I sorted through it all and, apart from a couple of shirts and shorts that fit Jer, all of it was not in our kids' sizes AT ALL!! So, having an account at a local consignment store, I labeled all of it with my number and brought it to recieve CASH back so that I can purchase the needed clothing/equipment for our boys. ;)

"Happening" #4:
The day after the six bags of "too big" clothes for the kids, I recieved a HUGE pile of kids clothes that was PERFECT for Zach! There's more to come from this lady (from our church); she has yet to sort through her clothes that are Benno's size.

"Happening" #5:
Speaking of being given clothing, I've had alot of maternity clothes given or loaned to me over the last few weeks. I have plenty to last me through this summer, and have even had some extras to hand off to some other pregnant friends!

The Lord clothes His children!!

I know there has been alot more going on lately that I could chat with you about- life is constantly full of excitement!! (good and frustrating!) But, just now I'm pretty pooped and will sign off for this day!
Take care all!
Cheers.
