Well, I have kind of neglected our blog for a while. With school back in session, our lives seem to race into turbo speed. Between soccer games, piano practice, homework, church activities and so on, we seem to be running at all times! Speaking of that, Charles & I went to a Family Driven Faith conference over the weekend with pastor and author, Dr. Voddie Baucham. It was by far the most incredible, practical seminar that I have ever experienced. From his conference, we have incorporated family worship into our daily lives. We have always had Bible and prayer time as a family but we are now being diligent about worshipping as a family. This involves us being in the Word, praying together and singing worship songs to God. It is such a sweet, special time!
Let's see what other exciting things have happened...we did have the "scare" of Hur
ricane Hanna ~ I use the words "scare" and "hurricane" very lightly since it was barely more than a thunderstorm. We didn't even lose a twig or leaf off of a tree! The kids did get a hurricane day because of the threat of the storm so they were home on a rainy day! It was also the day that we had new carpet installed so on top of being home on a day where they could not play outside, we were all stuck in the master bedroom for a good portion of the day! We watched more Disney and played more board games than I thought possible! They did have fun making carpet angels on the carpet once it was finished. (notice the "big kid" who was also down there...)

Charles wanted sushi and I wanted steak so that was the best compromise! It was so yummy! Then today is our sweet Rebecca's 9th birthday. I cannot believe how quickl
y the years are passing. When she was born, people told me all the time to enjoy every minute because the days flew by, and I never realized how true those words were! She is in her last year of single digits! We went to dinner on Monday for her and my mom (whose birthday was yesterday) at Moe's. She is having a belated birthday party because she wants a sleep over. We have decided to do this on October 24 which is the opening night of High School Musical 3 so we'll take her friends to the movie and then come back home for a girls night out filled with dancing, make up and all kinds of fun girl stuff! Should be a weekend to remember...
