My First Trip Driving To The Airport…
Saint Pete is a gorgeous city. I recently drove for the first time ever across the city to the Airport!!! I entertained my self on the drive with my totally fun phone snapping pics of all the great sights I past!
I owe all my road trip success to our GPS!!! I would have been totally lost without it!!!
The Celebrations Continue…
Our teammates and students at English Movie Night continued the celebration of Keith’s 4-0 with more cake, sing and celebrating!!!
Lordy, Lordy Look Whose 40!!!
FACEBOOK STATUS~I have always heard when you turn 40 things begin to fall apart...I just never guessed it would be our coffee pot...with one day remaining on the warranty!!! I am also glad that not buying Keith a Birthday gift proved to be a wise decision...since he bought a coffee press to help survive the 45 day wait for the return of our coffee maker!!!
Oh how my family hates to take pictures…but I persist anyways!!! {I have 2 non-negotiable…smile for the camera and get along!!!}
A sure sign of old age…
It is only 4:30 and you are already tired!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Keith!!! We love you!!!

Gymnastics…
The girls love gymnastics.
They always start off determined and excited…
but half-way through, are in pain, exhausted and moaning.
Pray that they survive the adjustment to becoming gymnasts and I survive the drama!!!
Street Evangelism…
Passed by our colleagues out on the streets telling people about Jesus and could resist snapping a pic!!!

The Final Birthday Celebration…
My Birthday seems to not even last a full 24 hours, but the kid’s celebrations seem to never end!!! As with every celebration, I attempt to decorate cupcakes…and every attempt ends in some sort of disaster!!! Today, everything was going perfectly…36 cupcakes mixed, poured, baked…but after removing the last batch from the oven, I forgot to remove them from the pan…and so the bottoms stuck. I tried to redeem the tops with piped frosting, but the bag busted and I was once again covered in frosting!!!
I did manage a few presentable ones and just rejoiced that I married a man with the philosophy…I don’t care what it looks like, I only care what it tastes like!!!
I decided to just dip the strawberry batch in frosting, which was a million times easier!!!
Gideon’s Class…
The 3 Birthday Kids…
Fun games…lots of laughter…great memories!!!
A fun day ended on a sad note, when once again the kids had to say good-bye to another friend…by far the worst part of our lives overseas…someone is always saying good-bye!!!
