Lily was cold the other morning so we wrapped her up
Lily and Daddy eating bananas together.
I will leave that bonding moment for him - I hate bananas.
We enjoyed the TBC banquet on Friday night. Pastor gives awards for faithful service in your area of ministry. James has been a deacon for nine years and next year on his tenth anniversary he will get a plaque. This year he received two awards that weren't related to Christian service. He won the fishing contest at Family Camp in two categories! I forgot my camera so I missed a priceless picture of him. He got a very nice trophy with a fish on it for catching the largest bass, then he was called back up for a medal for catching the most fish. He had grinned the hugest grin on getting his trophy, so Pastor teased him about this medal. As James walked down from the stage he grinned and held his medal up by his ear and pumped his other fist in the air bringing down the house with laughter. I just wish I had a picture.
Saturday we went with the TBC bus ministry to Kangarooz Family Fun Center where they have nine different bouncing houses in a building. It was the end of the fall bus contest and the winners got to go on the outing. We went along for Lily's sake but she didn't really enjoy bouncing. She was terrified of it actually. She made it all the way through an obstacle course by clinging tightly to James' back, but she could not be convinced to bounce. She did like the toddler area slide though.
For extra credit, try to find James and I.
I have no idea who the boy is before you ask. :-)
Lily got to have a free face-painting done
This was mere minutes before it itched and was smeared. :-)
Clinging for dear life and giving James a workout!
Sunday was a normal but busy day with Children's Choir practice and a church fellowship to eat up the leftover banquet food.
Monday James was off of work so we went shopping to buy him some work boots. He gets an allowance from work each year for them and his current ones are worn out. After that we went to the mall for my wedding ring's bi-yeary check-up.
Today I was doing laundry, and I showed Lily how to fold the washcloths we use for washing up after meals. She learned how and loved folding it so much! She screamed with glee to find there was another washcloth to fold in the dryer. If only I responded to laundry so enthusiastically - I could learn from her!
