Big sis, big trip!



My oldest has now officially left on her first Mission Trip!

About 12 or so middle and high schoolers left today at noon for New Orleans
to help out with some demolition projects as well as doing a neighborhood outreach and
a little sightseeing at some point.

Shayna has been to church camp a time or two, but never on an actual mission trip...I am so proud of her for being super eager to go and lend a hand to a community still in need. She went into this knowing it will be more work than play, and yet she was excited! Her friends Erica, Kelsie, Holly, & Lindsay are on the trip as well! These girls are awesome! I love her friends and love the young lady that Shayna is becoming right before my very eyes...and all too quickly as well!

I feel so blessed to have such a great teenager!

There is a dinosaur!" "A dinosaur?" I replied enthusiastically! "Wow! Where is the dinosaur?" "It's in the potty! Look!!! Look!!" So I looked, and right as I was looking she looked too and then looked at me and said, "Well, actually it's a lizard." It was very matter of fact, and very Addisonesque with the sideways cock of...

Addison and I had a great visit to the Arboretum with Ashely and her kids Grayson and Presley. I think we did more picture taking than we did playing this time...but it was a fun day and the weather was beautiful! I am looking forward to going again soon!
