Coming Back to Glenpool

Wow!! That's all I can say about the last three weeks. As many of you know we moved to Stillwater, Ok and was living with our friend Ta-Ta (as Puddin' calls him). After much struggling and praying we are moving back to our home (we didn't move that much, so it's not as bad as it sounds). It's one of those strange times because we felt God telling us to move (first up there, and then back home), so we're not sure what lessons were to be learned, but we are trusting God. We learned alot about our family during that three weeks and dad and mom grew in their communication, and have developed a plan to re-enter ministry (more on that during another post). So, please pray for us. In the process we decided to switch dad's office and Puddin's room. I can't believe how much can be accumulated in five short years or in Puddin's case twenty months. Dad is working hard at home to complete the switch and we will be moving what we took to Stillwater back on Saturday.

Sidewalk Art

Every Thursday night downtown Stillwater they have "Artists on Main Street" for family. Last night that consisted of two artists (I guess the other artist haven't heard they are suppose to be on Main Street yet), a gospel group (who sung "Amazing Grace," to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun"-I'm sure they changed "sun" to "son" in the program), and an area where kids could get chalk and create their own art (which looked better than one of the artists work). So, here are some pictures of Puddin' participating in the art show.

Dad had to show Puddin' what to do, but she quickly figured it out.

Out of the Mouth of Babes

The other night we were eating and when it was time to wash off Puddin's hands and mouth she started crying and waving her arms in the air. Dad came from the other room and asked mom what was going on, Mom replied, "We just finished eating, call me crazy, but I thought it would be a good idea to wash her hands and mouth." Then mom and dad heard Puddin' say "crazzzy." Dad looked at mom and said, "at least she's learning to obey, you said call me crazy."

Fun in the Sun

We went over Su-Su's house for July 4th and Puddin' got to go for her first swim. Or as she called it a bath in the pool-pool. At first she wasn't to sure when everyone was gathered around her, but she got used to the water. And then when she got floaties on she wanted to swim on her own, but not to far from dad. One day I will have to tell Jorja what my dad use to tell me when we had a pool, "Son, don't go to the bathroom in the pool or the chemicals will cause a big red ring to surround you."
