Pool Fun: Part 1 of ??

By -
A big part of our summer always has been and will likely always been the pool, or cement pond as the Clampetts would say. Here are a few pictures from a pool party with the youth last weekend.

Paul hasn't really liked the water this year. I knew he would if he would just try it. This is the party in which I was pushed into the water against my will. Paul jumped to me!!! He would then play in the water.

Then, I gave all the little kids a boat ride:

Many of you have emailed me and asked questions about this blog over the past several months. So, I am going to "borrow" this information from one of my bloggy friends, AJ . (No, I don't know her, but I read her blog daily. 1) How do I join the blog? There is no way to officially "join" the blog. If you're a reader, you are a part!

I was going to change my purse today. I was going to switch to one that doesn't look like a five-gallon bucket with straps attached. So, I dumped out the contents of my purse onto the table and could hardly believe my eyes. There was bathtub fizzy ball thing, a princess hair brush, lots of gum wrappers, an empty wallet, a songbook, a clothing tag, a vacuum belt , a ball, a USB drive attached to a Mickey Mouse keychain, 27 cents that looks like it survived The War, a Strawberry Shortcake magnet, lamp parts , a hairbow, camera, 2 birthday party invitations, a half-used Z-Pak, one ink pen, and many receipts and check-out coupons. All this in addition to a cosmetic bag filled with various shades of berry and pink lipgloss and lipsticks and a wallet with the typical things inside. So, I just have one question: What's in your purse?

Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...
