Manic Monday

Two kids + two sports + two hours = one tired mom!  Reagan's soccer team had a make up game tonight and Cooper had t-ball practice back to back.

The Announcement

Every year, I send out an announcement after each of the kids' birthdays.  This is Reagan's announcement for her 7th birthday.

Cinco de Mayo

We had a jammed-packed Cinco de Mayo!  The day started off with a the annual Fun Meet at her gymnastics facility. Then Reagan and I went to Barnes and Noble to use her birthday cookie coupon and buy books.  We ended the evening with a BBQ with our big BAM life group (our life group has multiplied 4 or so times, so all of us got back together for a big cookout).

 Our evening ended on a bittersweet note, as our Pastor announced that he will be leaving our church at the end of the month and headed to a church in a different part of the state.  He will be greatly missed, but we know the Lord has big plans for him in his new church.
