Man weekend/ GT Game

Since I went out of town this weekend, Preston took the opportunity to take the boys to a Georgia Tech game. Big House and DiDi road to the game with them and they met our friend, Michael, at the game. Everyone enjoyed the game and eating at the Varsity. Michael and Preston carried the boys in their backpacks and they did well.

Women's Retreat

This weekend I had the great opportunity to hang out with some awesome girls in my Sunday School class and study the book of James with great Beth Moore material. We spent the weekend at a lake house on lake Logan Martin. We really enjoyed chatting and deepening our friendships. We loved the study on James. We had lots of yummy food and made some S'mores over the fire pit. Playing Phase 10 was tons of fun even if I was the last person, by far, to get pass Phase 1. Sarah and I also enjoyed a four mile run on Saturday morning. It is always fun to run somewhere new even if there are 6 big dogs.

Fun Friday afternoon/ 6 yr old check-up

Friday afternoon Logan and I spent some time at the park together. We had a great time swinging and playing. It was nice to be just the two of us. After we went to Logan's 6 yr check-up. Everything went well and he is very healthy. He was so excited to not need any shots.

The Bell Center

Nathan and Owen are really enjoying school!! Both boys are doing really well. Owen loves his one-on-one volunteer, Paula, and is talking a lot to her. Owen is doing so well they are making all new, more challenging goals for him. Right now they are having Nathan wear a compression vest in class because it helps him to be able to focus on the activity and not focus quite so much on jumping. It is not that they don't want him to move around but more a feeling of comfort and his brain not constantly firing to his muscles telling them to move. We are enjoying getting to know the other families in the class.

West Homewood Farmer's Market

Just before dinner we decided to head on down to The West Homewood Farmers Market. On the way we stopped at the park for some swinging time. The Farmer's Market was tons of fun with live music, food, arts and crafts, a balloon man and sidewalk chalk. First Logan got a race track but after it popped he went back and got a belt and sword. He was very excited because he was now a Westminster Knight (the school mascot). The weather was beautiful and all five of us had a great time.

Hard at work

Friday morning Nathan and Owen enjoyed some hard work at home. They spent a lot of time in their gait trainers playing with the iPad, computer, barn, puzzles and felt board. They also enjoyed their daily reading of Pete the Cat. The highlight of the morning for me was sitting practice. Nathan sat for 30+ seconds several times. Owen loved sitting and was doing a great job catching himself with his arms. I am so proud of their hard work and progress. I am so thankful to God for the work He is doing in them.

Adoption Yard Sale

Last night we headed to Atlanta to help our friends Jennifer and Michael with their yard sale. Everything for the yard sale was donated by friends! The money they raised is all is going to help pay for their adoption, a little girl from China. Logan had a lemonade stand that also had some homemade baked goodies by Jennifer. Logan was a great salesman very enthusiastically asking everyone to buy. He made $68 dollars towards the adoption. We had a great weekend and were so glad we could participate.
