Lunch with Linds and Mattie

Mattie and Linds came over to Mom and Dad's for lunch on Saturday 1-16. Jason and I dropped in on the party because we heard roasted red pepper soup and chicken salad finger sandwiches would be served.

Mom claims that Mattie didn't want water out of a plain old glass, so she grabbed a port glass from the cabinet...and look at our fancy little Mattie...




Since Mom and Dad's place isn't yet equipped for a baby, Jason served as the high chair while Linds fed Mattie some lunch (please notice Lindsay's baby bump - shows up on the right hand side of the frame). Little Mattie is quite the flirt. :)



This might look like crying, but it's not. This little laugher was having a blast.
Mattie found this position most comfortable post-lunch.
She and Jason even played some games before nap time. Very cute!

Congratulations, EJ!

EJ received the "Leadership Award" for his grade!
Way to go, EJ! You make us proud!

Emily and Jason were over for dinner last night and Jimmy and I felt the baby kick! Even though I am SURE this is going to be a sweet little Harper, that kick felt like an ornery Buckaroo!!
Evan John, when are you over your depression due to the recent "GAME"and ready to party for your birthday???

Happy Birthday, Jimmy 12-28

Hope your b-day was as fruitful as your Christmas!

Christmas Events 2009

The Women's and Men's Xmas Events Committees have collaborated to bring a joyous Christmas celebration next weekend thanks to the Freeman family's generosity of letting us use their Fellowship Hall. All players need to be on time and ready to perform, starting Saturday morning. Shifts have been organized for the fun and fellowship and the plate will be passed for the crown pork, the golf bets, Pasadena, and the Left-Right-Center. Everyone needs to bring their own libations for communion.

PRAYER GROUP STILL NEEDED....

***We've been informed that the sermon will not begin until the Prodigal Son arrives Sat. evening. He also predicts that he can make Santa's sleigh appear across the sky?
