baby goes to 11 !

the past few weeks have been busy.a whirlwind if you will. lots to say and talk about but no time to sit and get things to flow from my brain. i will attempt to share.

zoe's birthday = amazing,wonderful and very sweet. she has such a joy and enthusiasm that i hope to never see fade or forgotten. it was a killer party and loads of fun to bless her with such a fun party. we did so much stuff:
tye dye t shirts, the game hot potato w/ water balloons, cake,etc. it stormed midway through and after the brief rain delay we went to tuttle pool and swam (because of the rain there was NO ONE there)SWEET! the whole pool to ourselves.

1st day of school = gee this girl was so excited she was hovering off the ground. indianola is a great place. zoe's teacher is even "greater" they loop which means they have the same teacher as last year. overall they seem to be picking up exactly where they left off. let me remind you that zoe is a 1st grader. ok, so we were at indianola/lane ave. when traffic was backing up to drop off for school when she tells me it would be fine for her to get out and walk ~ mind you it's not only campus but 3-4 blocks. i personally thought she was joking but she was serious. i don't think so!

coldplay = grace was the hook-up! we went to the show and had such a sweet date. seeing the show was the bonus. played green eyes. can;t put that into words. spending time with my baby, sitting on the (damp) lawn listening to coldplay and forgetting that we were with about a thousand other people...awesome.

these are a few of the highlights. now the other.

it has (like for many) been a fine line of knowing when to shut off the tv,radio, internet, etc. in the wake of katrina, all the damage and events so burdensome,overwhelming and sad. with all of this my words and such escape me and so i pray. give where i can and know that God has a plan,that he loves his people and that there's nothing my God cannot do. this has encouraged me. (in no way do i mean to minimize) cling to hope and not worry.
