"I Found Jesus!"

I miss my old blogging routine...writing about what we've been up to every other day and then getting to read all my favorite blogs. So much is happening...babies being born, rooms getting redecorated, kids graduating from Kindergarten AND high school. It's hard to keep up. I'm just missing y'all. Seriously!

Last Tuesday was Evan's last day of school. It was so bittersweet. I am thrilled how well he has done this year and all he has accomplished, but I am also sad to leave the sweet teachers, therapists and paraprofessionals that I know God placed in our paths. We will miss them. I stopped by a little early and brought them each a plant, note and little picture of Evan. I thought the little plants turned out so cute. The florist did them, so I can't take credit. I just love the little buckets! I made it out of there without crying. Now, that was a miracle (I did come a little close a couple of times though)!

We celebrated several days later with a trip to The Jump Zone. Fun was had by all.

Thursday we got to go to the school Evan will attend next year, and I have a feeling (after meeting the teacher) that we will be equally blessed next year. Tomorrow starts his first day at A-Camp. I'm so excited about it. I just know Evan will have a blast!

Isn't this just the cutest little logo? I can't wait to take a picture of him tomorrow in his little camp uniform.

Saturday morning, I awoke, like most mornings, with Ella Grace's head in my back. She has gotten into a habit of sneaking into our bed at night. We have the best of intentions of moving her back to her bed, but lately it just hasn't happened. I guess Momma and Daddy are just tired! Well, Friday morning, the kiddos and I slept in. Derek was already gone for the morning when EG and I woke up. I had no more opened my eyes and she said, "Momma, I found Jesus!" I was so surprised at this statement by my two-year-old. I asked her, "What did you say?" She said again so proudly, "I found Jesus. Let me show you." Well, she had indeed found Jesus. Remember this? Well, he is found and has been getting lots of loving over the past several days.

Jesus has been found!

I love this picture. This evening I found her curled up reading to her baby, "Abby." She always wants to cover up with this tablecloth she drags out of the China chest. I guess she just thinks it is a comfy blanket. Wow! She looks so big here! Time please stop!
